The Obama administration is preparing to test whether capping greenhouse gas emissions will push the economy into higher gear, or deeper into a rut.

IOW, when he said "Yes, we can!" he lied through his teeth, because he doesn't have a clue whether he can or not.

Tax breaks for purchasers of higher fuel economy cars would make more sense.”

Pretty sure that has already been tried.,

The Obama administration is preparing to test whether capping greenhouse gas emissions will push the economy into higher gear, or deeper into a rut. The likely subject of the experiment is the ailing auto industry.

This proves that Obama is a fool.

Here Dr. Obama has a patient in the death throws and he decides to play games with the vital organs of the patient.

Hmmm his heart is failing maybe we should remove a lung.

This proves that Obama is a fool. .

Or perhaps he is not a fool.

Perhaps he merely has other motives.

Perhaps his ultimate goal has nothing to do with the auto industry or the environment.

Perhaps his true goal is to continue the destruction of the US economy.

Perhaps his goal is the destruction of the US economy in oreder to precipitate a continued crisis which is further pretext to continue the transformation of our economy in to a planned socialist (Marxist) economy.

You have a 4 horse trailer? And that implies 4 horses...in France and Germany only a rare few politically connected have horses. It is very unusual except for the upper class. Under Obama’s Euro-socialism, families here won’t have horses, or many of the other traditional American pastimes.

Figuring out how to do this won't be easy, or cheap.

Or possible.

Well it will be interesting to see what Wednesday brings.

The turn out at the Tea Parties will be somewhat of a barometer of the national outrage.

Lisa P. Jackson was an ideologue in NJ, she is also extremely incompetent and a vindictive administrator. She managed to alienate the entire spectrum of stakeholders, from industrialists to environmental extremists, and almost always for the wrong reasons and ending in worse results. Her ideology demanded it.

God help us all as she wreaks havoc on a national stage.

“That finding will be a trigger for the EPA to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions under the 1970 Clean Air Act — independent of any congressional action on broader climate-change measures.”

Where in the Constitution is it that allows unelected fascist bureaucrats to write law?

How about if obuma gives away his war-making power to Bill Ayers. Is that okay?

Maybe the supreme court can shift a few of its judicial duties to the local insane asylum.

This “government” needs more than a revolution, it needs a major cleaning by a nuclear-tipped roto-rooter.
