WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has signed trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, completing years of negotiations and fulfilling U.S. action on the biggest trade deal since the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement.

Obama signed the agreements Friday and planned to join a Rose Garden reception with business and labor leaders and workers who could potentially benefit from the new pacts. Obama also signed legislation to provide assistance to U.S. workers displaced because of the agreements.

These 'trade' deals were formerly known as 'treaties' and should still be treated as such.

And it's nice to see you guys in agreement with me and Democrats for a change. See, we don't like these deals and never have. Obama and Clinton were not liberals when it came to economic policy. These are republican policies they support.

The House voted to pass the Colombia measure, the most controversial of the three deals because of concerns about the treatment of unions in that country, 262 to 167; the Panama measure passed 300 to 129, and the agreement concerning South Korea passed 278 to 151. The votes reflected a clear partisan divide, with many Democrats voting against the president. In the Senate, the Colombia measure passed 66 to 33, the Panama bill succeeded 77 to 22 and the South Korea measure passed 83 to 15. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, voted against all three measures.

The House also passed a measure to expand a benefits program for workers who lose jobs to foreign competition by a vote of 307 to 122. The benefits program, a must-have for labor unions, passed with strong Democratic support. The Senate previously approved the measure.

You would think Democrats would like free trade agreements. It has the word "free' in them!

I may have mentioned it before but, we globalists control everything.

Yes you have. The 'joke' is old, really old and very stale at this point. You should think about shelving it. It's beginning to look a bit like a strange Tourette's syndrome.

A response I predicted, a variation of the old school yard I know you are but what am I? Predictable and typically juvenile.

Did I call you a child molester, question whether or not you were elegible for a constitutionally protected right or tell you that you are the kind of person that delights in the death and suffering of others?
