Centrist Think-tank Urges Obama to Push Asian Trade Deal: Wait there is a Centrist Think Tank?

Yeah, there is such a beast.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies said if Obama can work with Republicans and address divisions within his own Democratic party over the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, legislation to facilitate the pact could be passed midyear, enabling TPP's conclusion this fall.

I agree with this assessment as well. Pass these trade deals and let out goods flow out to these countries. Also let their goods flow back. Some authentic Thai food or Japanese delicacies would do well in certain parts of the US.
