The Unions and the Dems put up a strong push to defeat it and he invested a lot of political capital to get it through. How many times in recent years has a president actually gone to capital hill and made the rounds to get a bill passed. If they do that and the bill goes down they would look like an idiot. Bush took that chance for CAFTA. What other bill has Bush done that for? How many bills did Clinton do that for?
The Doha round is stalled because of European intransigence on the CAP. Until they are willing to compromise on the CAP, the third world will not move forward, and they shouldn't. The US has been pushing harder on Doha than anyone else.
