(CNSNews.com) – John Bryson, President Barack Obama's nominee to be secretary of commerce, said it was “incredibly important” that the United States pass cap and trade legislation and that America needed to be a global leader in combating man-made global warming.

“I regard it as incredibly important that the United States comes forth in this year with federal climate change legislation as a foundation for moving ahead,” Bryson told the U.N. International Energy Conference in late August 2009. “I think we in the U.S. have an obligation to assist in significant ways in providing leadership in this community of nations that you represent and addressing energy and climate change.”

Bryson, in stating “in this year,” was speaking about the U.N. Climate Change Conference scheduled for December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

But that's in direct conflict with the Obamah Doctrine!

"America Will Not Lead!"

The secretary of commerce is supposed to lead on “global warming”? What the hell? The jackass isn’t even a scientist. There are way too many people in Washington doing way too many recreational drugs.

Either another incredibly ignorant POS, or another eager destructor of America. This evil regime is loaded with communists, sodomites that need to be sent back to the sewers from which they crawled. God help us!

The Weather Channel is also pushing ``global warming`` propaganda citing old corporate on the bandwagon quotes from years ago.

I'm confused. I thought Obama told us and the world that the US wasn't going to be the leader any longer. Why should we take our tax dollars to improve the climate in the world, when nobody likes us anyway?

And, if Congress doesn't pass legislation to control us and tax us into oblivion, is Obama going to sign an Executive Fiat?

If the Obamaloon wants this clown, it’s a sure bet that he cannot lead.

After all, he’d join the West Wing clown group of felon-cretins...and we all know what a solid record of leadership those folks have.

I guess he only appoints people who are anti oil, pro Green and mis-informed like he is.

The same reason we have a Dept of Education and Dept of Energy...central planning leading to market inefficiencies and sub-standard results.

Which the central planners then blame on free market 'excess' which calls for more planning.

John Bbryson states that it is important for America to throw it’s economy in the toilet as an example for other countries on how to destroy their own economies.

Other countries are all for it. Saying You go first and Laughing their AO.
