It’s one thing for President Obama to surround himself with the advisers he’d like to have, but it’s another to bestow on them sweeping powers to broker secret negotiations and push forward vast new regulations that could cost American families thousands of dollars.
Cap-and-trade energy tax legislation appears stalled, at least for now, in the U.S. Senate. But that doesn’t mean the cap-and-trade energy tax isn’t imminent.
Senate Environment Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer hasn’t even introduced the bill yet; new Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Blanche Lincoln has declared the House bill dead on arrival; and there are several other cross-cutting controversies that divide Democrats on the bill. The Obama administration is unfazed. They are moving full steam ahead with an even more costly regulatory scheme in the name of global warming—shoehorning the regulation of greenhouse gases into the 1970 Clean Air Act, a bill passed before anyone had ever thought of global warming and that couldn’t be less suited to the task.
WTF, over? As with the health care debacle, why is obama in such a hurry, unless he fears his transparency is too transparent, and that he cannot achieve a power-grab if his house comes tumbling down around him. Yes, Precious, I do believe this is the case.
We, the People, or at least those of us who are opposed to this administration, had better get on the stick, and run this guy off his tracks, soon. That's my statement, and I stand by it.
Secret power grab? Bwahahaha.....health care reform, environmental regulations, etc have been part of the Democratic party platform for YEARS. Barack Obama (as well as Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and the rest) campaigned precisely on these issues. Now that the Dems are in power, they are implementing exactly what they campaigned on. There are no secrets here. Listen...do yourself a favor. Stop listening to Fox News.
This is insane. Don't we have a new directive on not using deceptive headlines? Moderators?
You have no problem voting for a guy who promised non-descript "change" because you didn't want "the same", and today you're worried about "deceptive headlines"?
boy what a source! FAUX News "We invent, you decide!"
PS: If you dupes were so scared of what Obama may do why didn't enough of you turn out and vote for McCain? Obama is doing everything he campaigned on.
Until he's using executive orders to hammer **** through like the last administration did, it's not a power grab. The article is pretty explicit about how Congress is the one tanking everything.
As I refuse to deal with some on this forum, let me say this: I didn't make up the headline. I copied it from the source. Go complain to Fox, idahogie.
A hippopotamus behind a potted palm: Watching the people in the ballroom twirling to Strauss music. Plotting, planning to turn the place back into a Neocon haven, and ousting said party persons.
