john harwood spoke with michael froe man and joins us now from washington. john? >> reporter: trade deals a h to get through congress. this one will be no exception. the majority of republicans don't like president obama. democrats don't like trade deals because they think they may be bad for labor and the environment but mike fro man said it will be good for wall street and workers alike. >> this is core to middle class economics in terms of creating jobs supporting jobs here improving wages and so i think there's an interest on both sides coming out of the election of november to find areas they can work together on in order to help strengthen the u.s. recovery. and i've heard from a lot of investors, a lot of companies that are looking to determine where they should put their next fact. with these trade graemts the u.s. will be at the center of a web of agreements giving unfettered access to two-thirds of the u.s. economy and that makes the u.s. an attractive place for investment. >> but if this goes through, it won't be because of big public demand for it tyle
