Obama Advocates New Free Trade Deals 
-------------------------------------



During his speech at the Chamber of Commerce, President Obama also
advocated for the signing of new so-called "free trade" deals.

President Obama: "We finalized a trade agreement with South Korea that
will support at least 70,000 American jobs. And by the way, it's a deal
that has unprecedented support from business and labor, Democrats and
Republicans. That's the kind of deal that I will be looking for as we
pursue trade agreements with Panama and Colombia, as we work to bring
Russia into the international trading system."
