Sadly average Americans will have to see this happen before they wake up and throw the bums out. Sadder still is that it will take decades to undo the harm to our economy these jerks will have done in less than a year.

Spells it out in a nutshell.

This is going to my Senators ASAP (not that that will matter much, both are RINOS).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 21, 2009

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT ON COMMITTEE PASSAGE OF THE AMERICAN CLEAN ENERGY AND SECURITY ACT

I commend Chairman Waxman and the Members of the Energy and Commerce Committee for a successful effort to pass a comprehensive energy and climate bill out of their committee today. We are now one step closer to delivering on the promise of a new clean energy economy that will make America less dependent on foreign oil, crack down on polluters, and create millions of new jobs all across America. The bill is historic for what it achieves, providing clean energy incentives that encourage innovation while recognizing the concerns of sensitive industries and regions in this country. And this achievement is all the more historic for bringing together many who have in the past opposed a common effort, from labor unions to corporate CEOs, and environmentalists to energy companies. I applaud the committee for its action and look forward to signing comprehensive legislation.
