My understanding was that some of the IP stuff was pretty lovely in regards to letting poor countries make generic medication. I barely understand half of whats going on with it, but I think the main reason Obama really, really wants it is because he feels like its important to build strong trade relationships with countries in China's sphere of influence so that the USA has more influence in the region and the net value of the deal in terms of this or that is that the average person will end up with benefits and more negatives in general while the USA projects its interests into that region. Maybe I'm reading the whole deal all wrong though.
