Obama Pledges Climate Push After Health Care; Senate Timing in Flux [gives nod to Graham]
The New York Times ^ | 2009-10-16 | Darren Samuelsohn

Posted on 10/16/2009 5:29:22 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

President Obama gave a nod yesterday to a budding bipartisan Senate effort on energy and climate legislation during a New Orleans town hall meeting where he also pledged to push for the bill's passage once Congress finishes its work on health care.

"What I think we need to do is increase our domestic energy production," Obama said in response to a question about environmental policy from an audience member. "I'm in favor of finding environmentally sound ways to tap our oil and our natural gas."

Obama also mentioned his support for nuclear energy, one of two key points of possible Senate compromise as lawmakers look to pass a comprehensive energy and global warming bill in the coming months.

“I’m in favor of finding environmentally sound way to tap our oil and natural gas.”

Then why the he&& hasn’t he and his Democrat goosesteppers done it already?

Just asking.

IMHO

Wow. Add the increased cost of our medical insurance to the increased costs of our utility bills, and the Marxist government will be rolling in money, but the American people will be starving. This is what happened under Mao. Millions died.
Once the people realize their money is being shared to the max no matter what they do, people are going to stop producing all together. Why bother working every day when they can get what others are getting for free?
This is why socialism always fails. Someone has to do the work to feed the nation. Who will the Marxist chose to put in their working camps this time? How many useless eaters will have to die so the food supply can feed those who are left?

We've seen all this before, but the left wing refuses to learn from it.

Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty, Claims British Lord (Monckton)

http://fightinwordsusa.wordpress.com/
snip:
At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.

How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.

And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution (sic), and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.

So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not.

But I think it is here, here in your great nation, which I so love and I so admire – it is here that perhaps, at this eleventh hour, at the fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second, you will rise up and you will stop your president from signing that dreadful treaty, that purposeless treaty. For there is no problem with climate and, even if there were, an economic treaty does nothing to [help] it.

The U.S. taxpayer is already enslaved. They're being used to feed the world. Still, they work overtime, buy goods they want instead of goods they need. They continue to believe they're free. They continue to feed the beast.

People need to learn how to get back to the soil, so they can move away from the enslavers. The Marxist want money, and lots of it. The more we give them, they hungrier they get.
Learn to live on what's around you now while you still have the chance. There may come a time when that's all you'll have.

Leave it to an idiot GOP “moderate” to throw a lifeline to Democrats on Cap and Tax and Immigration.

The “Stupid Party” rides again.

Graham will be the new “Snowe” on these issues.

They do it to get in front of a TV camera. Like Horrywood actors, without the cameras they don't exist.
Out of sight - out of mind.
