Ben Stein stated an old friend of Obama from Chicago that will oversee the Cap and Trade fiasco will benefit greatly from doing it. Was he talking financially? It appeared so. Ben Stein said this is a huge scandal, and he could not remember the guys name. Beck said they will look into it and cover it tomorrow.

Another scandal from the most ethical adminstration in histroy? Say it is not so. Where is Patrick Fitzgerald?

"Ben Stein said this is a huge scandal, and he could not remember the guys name."

Yeah, this sounds reliable.

[zimfam007]

Hummm... Soros maybe???

[jessduntno]

Was it BUELLER????

[utahson]

I was unaware Ben Stein is unreliable and know to say falsehoods. Care to elaborate?

[utahson]

know should be “known”

A nebulous story about a guy whose name he can't remember?

That sounds reliable to you?

[Aria]

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised.

The whole thing is just a huge tax grab anyway.

[DManA]

LOL. The weasel is probably afraid of being sued but want’s us to know what an insider he is.

"A nebulous story about a guy whose name he can't remember? "

Well zero details and just a stupid mantra of hope and change got 100,000,000+ people to vote for a Kenyan.

[Anti-Kenyan]

Come on, you honestly think alot of obamas butt-buddies (maybe even larry sinclair) aren’t going to benefit from his policies?

[Sir Beowolf]

I caught it myself, Tick Tock,Tick Tock.
Could this be Blue dress caliber?

[utahson]

Stein said the guy will be leading Obama’s cap and trade and the guy is from Chicago. He just could not remember his name. I do not think Stein would make something up on national television accusing Obama of appointing someone to oversee cap and trade that would personally benefit financially from it. I guess you do.

it was Enron who was the first big business supporter of cap and trade policies. The Competitive Enterprise Institute reports:

Enron became one of the biggest corporate boosters of the Kyoto global warming treaty, which would require huge reductions in energy use by consumers and industry. According to an internal Enron memo, quoted by The Washington Post, the Kyoto treaty would “do more to promote Enron’s business than almost any other regulatory initiative outside of restructuring the energy and natural gas industries in Europe and the United States.”

In addition to all its political lobbying and contributions, Enron became a founding member of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change’s Business Environmental Leadership Council, a leading industry front group pushing the Kyoto agenda. Enron chairman Ken Lay also served on the board of the Heinz Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment, along with Fred Krupp of Environmental Defense, and former Alcoa CEO and current Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill.

"Socialist billionaires (the world's richest men), nongovernmental organizations, corporations, banking institutions, all of whom have used social engineering on a global scale to make us want "cap and trade," all stand to benefit hugely from a brisk business in carbon.

"The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), European Climate Exchange (ECX), ICE, the World Bank, Sandor, Schultz, Buffett, Branson, Gates, Turner, Strong, Rockefeller, de Rothchild, Gore, Soros, Redstone, Pickens, General Electric, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bros., Dupont, Alcoa, BP, Ford, and Pacific Gas & Electric all stand to gain substantially from trading on a new gold standard, a harmless plant food called CO2.

"The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has used the Big Lie, the infamous Nazi propaganda policy of the 1930s, in the form of "global warming," to promote their political agenda. To succeed, they must make us want "cap and trade." Google "global warming fraud." Think the science is settled? How come the discussion is over? Who says so? NBC? Newsweek? PBS? Gannett?

"Gaye Symington says it is and we must act now "to take advantage of the opportunities that global warming will present." She likens this opportunity to other missed opportunities like Silicon Valley, the dot-com bubble and biotech on Boston's Massachusetts Route 128.

"Remember the derivative trading that led to the downfall of Enron? Global warming and "cap and trade" are brought to you by the same people who brought you Oil for Food, Enron and Fannie Mae."
