If he speaks out against the gross inequality of wealth and income in this nation, as he did in his recent State of the Union address, and then also continues to strongly support the TPP, the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, then he will come across as a hypocrite that talks out of both sides of his mouth. He must withdraw his support from this agreement because it's clear that if it's put into effect it will further decimate the American workforce and the middle class.
This will be Mr. Obama's last chance to rescue his presidency from stagnation and, possibly, turn it into one of that historians will call one of the greatest of political comebacks. He needs to adopt a totally new strategy based upon the fact that you cannot deal with political bullies by attempting to use reason and rationality and continually offering them an olive branch; for they will take that branch and break it in half every time.
So what can we conclude from this discussion of this enormous, ongoing problem that can only get worse? How can America extract itself from this deep political morass? There is only one way; this president must use every means at his disposal to directly connect with the American people and find the ways to harness the enormous power that they possess to send this strong message to the obstructionists in this Congress:
"Change your ways, end your agenda of obstructionism, stop the gridlock and finally do what's right for your country and the American people. And if you don't and you continue to wreak havoc on this country and its society, we the people will run you out of Washington and send you into political oblivion."
