Breitbart: Hypocrite Obama: EU-US Trade Deal Close To Abandonment As Yanks Refuse To Lift Protectionism With Europe

The Obama administration is refusing to lift protectionist principles with Europe in order to pass TTIP. I.e. they are making sure trade laws are favourable for Americans to 'buy American'.
