AS CLINTON TO H.W., SO OBAMA TO W:

Obama To Work To Pass Bush Trade Deals - Democrats (Javno, 1/14/09)

"The president-elect wants to work with Republicans and Democrats to get those trade agreements moving," House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel said during an organizational meeting to outline the panel's priorities for the year.
