You remember Obama's excuse for opposing the Colombia trade deal during the debate?  Yeah, turns out that was bullshit too, not that you didn't know that.

As Jonn at This Ain't Hell points out, there is a problem with union leaders and members getting whacked, but the Colombian government has assembled a task force to try and investigate and prevent these crimes, and has been very successful, attacks on union members have dropped sharply.  As always, the Colombians meet Obama's latest litmus test, only to have him create a new one for them.  Is this going to be how we treat our allies who are making positive advances in the developing world under an Obama administration?

Obama's excuse for opposing the Colombia trade deal is based on a lie.  The Colombians have worked to stop attacks on union members, and had significant success, as Obama demanded.  Is it time to reconsider the Colombian trade deal, Barry, or will you find a new lie to base your opposition on?  Or do you just want to see the thugs of FARC get a second chance?
