Cameron's eagerness to seal the TTIP deal is rather unsurprising given that he'd likely sell his own mother for a pat on the back from the US. It's nice to see Obama keep his integrity on this one. As for Hollande, I'm guessing he's attempting to appeal to France's strong cultural protectionism, in a last ditch effort to improve his ratings, as this is an unusually strong stance coming from him ("Flanby"). In either case, the TTIP deal seems like more of a political excuse than an actual effort to consider the deal thoroughly. That said, I'm glad somebody is standing up to it, even if the motivation is questionable. France isn't the most corporate-friendly country, so it'll be interesting to see what changes are proposed, if any.
