"They woke up in England one day and no longer could fox hunt because of what the European Union had done."

Follow the money, I am sure.

Rep. John Fleming questioned why House Speaker John Boehner and other top Republicans worked feverishly to resuscitate President Barack Obama's trade agenda Thursday when "this is a president who criticizes America and seeks to harm America while giving a pass to other countries."

"What's mystifying to me is why our House leadership, Speaker Boehner, want to hand President Obama a huge political victory and at the same time give him a huge new tool that he can use to damage Americans and damage the America economy?" the Louisiana Republican asked in an interview.

Fleming's question followed the House voting 218-208 to grant Obama fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements with foreign nations.

The move came after Democrats handed the president an embarrassing defeat last week by killing a related bill that would have provided retraining aid to Americans who lose their jobs because of such accords.
