  1. This guy is a corporate Wall Street guy….what else did we expect from him….paying back his old buddies from way back when……he has his nose stuck so far up POTUS’s you know what that it is time to recall him at his next election cycle and get someone in office who will represent the TAXPAYERS and not his own interests.

    We saw earlier how Citigroup can always count on Jim Himes to introduce bills their lobbyists write to undermine Dodd-Frank. Mr. Himes is a tool of globalized banks and corporations that have no loyalty to America. As such, he votes for Fast Track and will no doubt also vote yes on TPP, TTIP, TISA and all the other treaties being written by corporations under the direction of Mr. Himes’ former Wall Street colleague Michael Froman. Mr. Himes does this to climb the ladder into the global corporate-financial elite replacing American sovereignty and democracy with global governance by treaty law and international tribunals immune to democratic pressures and not accountable to the citizens. Eventually he will use the revolving door to return to the private sector where he will be offered many lucrative directorships and consultancy and lobbying positions so he can manage the system he is now legislating. But no matter what he does, “we have to support him” or else a Republican will come in and….do the same thing. Our political system is a fraud, the globalized corporations and banks own it, most of Congress should be made to register as foreign agents for their fealty to multinationals. They will pay Jim Himes well when he returns to them after we figure out how to stop his treason in Congress.

    Himes had to pay for that ride on Air force One; what a loser!

  4. So we give POTUS complete and absolute authority with no means to amend or change anything. Like he’s done great things for us already. Time to start voting these POS out of office
