US free trade agreement with Panama is stuck in impasse between President Obama and the Republicans
Friday, August 26, 2011
\
Even with almost zero common ground between them, President Obama and Republicans in Congress generally concur on the need for free-trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.\
\
But they disagree on whose fault it is that those agreements — years in the making — have still not been approved.\
\
For weeks, President Obama has derided Congress for failing to pass the agreements, as well as a measure that would provide money to assist workers displaced by foreign competition.\
