He openly said that his goal was to "level the playing field" for other countries because he thought the United States was too powerful.

Source?

It was in a speech of his, I'm sorry for not knowing where it is or I'd post it. I know that weakens my post, but I know he said it because I was watching him on TV while he talked about hope and change, etc.

A quick google search showed he said that regarding TPP.

Yeah, that's the only speech I found. Maybe @RedPixel confused that part about China with the US?

This might have been it. Lol I was on my phone, thanks for finding it! Yeah, that was one shitty trade deal. Like... Trump bad. Strengthening the TPP hurts American workers over time and adds money to the pockets of corporations.

It hurts long term infrastructure, but the decision was a win-win for Obama because its short-term benefits yielded praise for himself, only for it to collapse eventually and lets republicans take the fall. John Boner, the idiot house speaker republicans had at the time, fell for it as well.

It was actually a pretty genius move on democratic politicians' behalf!
