Harry Reid rejects Obama’s trade power

The Hill reports:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday suggested he will not bring legislation to the floor that would grant President Obama greater trade powers.

Reid said he is “against” trade promotion authority (TPA) legislation — often called “fast track” — that, if passed, would make it easier for Obama to negotiate trade deals by preventing Congress from amending them.



No word yet on whether strongman Obama plans to "work on " Harry Reid on this issue.
