An agreement. the congress gets an up or down vote. it s what s gotten us so far in trade. it s important to keep it going. i don t think anybody bolts. it s a signal to the trading partners that the united states is de-emphasizing trade. and it raises broader questions about whether there s still a trade consensus in washington. to my mind, it s presidential leadership. george w. bush had to do this for drkafta. and reagan had to do it for canada. because we ve got the populist where there s this undercurrent in the general electorate not for trade, but leadership tends to get it. ron, the cynic in me says, you know what, the last thing the president wants is to be in-fighting, 2014. yeah. it feels this feels like, okay, it s going to be a slow walk for 2014, and as soon as the elections are over, then you ll see a bigger push by the administration i think you re being a bit you know, i ve heard this sort ....
Well, mcdonough seemed to downplay the report a bit on sunday. take a listen. his view is that if this is to go forward, it should not significantly exacerbate the climate you have a state department study we have one department with a study. now we have other expert agencies the epa and many others who have the energy department an opportunity to look at this and make their determination. well, mcdonough is particularally correct on the bureaucratic hoops the administration has to jump through, but the white house message sounds muttled. reject keystone and he will anger red state democrats. they all rushed out releases after the state department released calling on him to approve the pipeline. move forward, and they ll anger environmentalists. the administration refuses to ....
Platform. working with your partners, whether it be on the intelligence side, on the training side, on the equipment side, working with them to the extent that they are comfortable and can really utilize those moneys in a way that does build those institutions, does assure security and integrate some more into the north american securing the north american perimeter. so i would say absolutely. quickly, on nieto and his politics, this was a one-party rule that the country experienced for nearly a century. is this a new pre? i was asked that question quite a bit at the time of his inaugural. i said, whether or not it s a new pre is almost secondary. a middle class willing to hold their government more accountable, it has the media ....
Well, president obama s already facing long odds on everything from tax reform to climate change. now, here s one more reason to be a bit skeptical that anything will get done at least this year. even when the president finds an issue that has republican support, he can t seem to get democrats on the same page. case in point is trade. president obama s calling on congress to give him trade promotion authority, which would essentially allow him to fast track some trade agreements. two of the largest trade deals in u.s. history they re working on now, promoting them as badly needed job creators. when 98% of our exporters are small businesses, new trade partnerships with europe and the asia pacific will help them create even more jobs. china and europe aren t standing on the sidelines, and neither should we. as we mentioned, we re talking about two separate deals in the works, very large regional trade packs. the trans-pacific partnership is a deal with 11 nations in asia, ....
George w. bush. mr. garza, good morning to you, sir. good morning, chuck. how are you? i want to start with what nieto has tried to pursue in the first year in office, and that was the decision. the previous president wanted to confront the cartels and essentially it was a war. nieto won on a platform of essentially retreating on this war a bit, getting protecting cities, protecting the public, but retreating on the war. and the question is, has that been the right policy? you ve been on the ground, you re an observer, ambassador, what do you say? i wouldn t characterize it so much as a retreat, as a focus on a more balanced story coming out of mexico. as you alluded to in your setup, you talked about the reform, an agenda based on making mexico more competitive. there s little doubt, however, that they continue to face security challenges as you talked about in the state of ....
