President Obama was aggressive towards fellow Democrats who voiced skepticism about the deal. Hillary Clinton was one of those who designed it, considered it the gold standard, then has since started opposing it as she runs for office, although my suspicions are that she will be in favor of it again once in office, if she makes it there.
