mandated to the public?
This is all about total government control, which includes eventually restricting or severely limiting independent movement or travel.
This administration will eventually be seen as Nixon II. Some of our worst domestic legislation was passed during the Nixon Administration—and during Bush II. Looks like George is trying to equal or exceed Nixon.
About time. I’m tired of this cold.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Asswipe. That guy has been the biggest disappointment.
Compassionate conservative = sellout with negotiable principles.
Aw, shucks, he’s just trying to beat McCain to it. Legacy, and all that, don’t ya know.
((((shaking head)))))..
“This is an attempt to move the administration and the party closer to the center on global warming. With these steps, it is hoped that the debate over this is over, and it is time to do something,” said an administration source close to the White House who is familiar with the planning and who said to expect an announcement this week.
Thanks for selling us out, Double-You, you double crosser.
If only they were just as eager to tackle the real problems of Social Security and Medicare / Medicaid!
You send me money, I plant a tree.
Really!
Yes, I was concerned when the Bush administration unnecessarily capitulated in Bali, and such a move as the article suggests would be even more worrisome if the rumor pans out.
Yes, it IS time to do something. It is time to call this major hoax what it really is! It's an outright theft of our property rights AND what little money we have left after the government steals almost half of our hard-earned dollar!
There comes a time when people get pushed too far..... Are we there yet?
Global Warming is a method of extracting $ trillions from taxpayers and utility customers and those who buy or produce food and anybody else they can think of. It is an embarrassment to be associated with the human race anymore.
No!!!!!
Would you please lend your screen name to the President?
He'a like an actor that is fed lines by a prompter. He speaks.. but there is NO substance within the character that he is portraying.
A definite sign of still another "empty suit".

Bush ‘can’t support’ climate bills in Congress: White House
WASHINGTON, April 14 (AFP) Apr 15, 2008
US President George W. Bush is opposed to legislation being discussed in Congress to cap greenhouse gas emissions because the proposals would hurt the economy, his spokeswoman said Monday.
“We have conversations with Congress to let them know where we are. And we have been not shy about saying that we don’t support legislation that is currently on the Hill,” press secretary Dana Perino said.
“We think that it would be bad for the economy, and that it wouldn’t — ultimately, it wouldn’t address the problem.”
Perino was referring to a bill sponsored by Republican John Warner and Independent Joe Lieberman that would set a limit on the level of carbon emissions and introduce economic incentives for cutting back on pollutants, a system known as “cap and trade.”
Democratic Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has scheduled debate on various proposals for combating climate change in early June, Perino said.
“Our views on — on especially the Warner-Lieberman bill, are well known. We cannot support it,” she said.
“We aren’t necessarily against cap and trade proposals,” she said. “But cap and trade programs can be very complicated. And what we have seen so far from Congress is not something that we could support.”
Asked if the president had his own ideas that might be put forward, Perino said: “There could be something,” but gave no further details.
The proposals under consideration in the Senate call for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in manufacturing, electricity and transport sectors by 19 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and 70 percent by 2050.
