The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business.
The warning, from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Jackson, however, tried to strike a tone of cooperation in her address Wednesday, explaining that the EPA's new powers to regulate greenhouse gases will be used to complement legislation pending in Congress, not replace it.

I believe Nixon in 1972.
Impeachment would loom heavy over the Whitehouse if they did.
This crap is wrong on so many levels. Not least of all is blackmailing Congress with the threat that EPA will enact unconscionable regulations.
It didn’t take long for Hope and Change to become Command and Control.
YUP...And if congress had any guts they would defund the EPA for that little blackmail.
Now that might cause problems. “Keep your powder day.”
By the way, is that young Orson Welles?
“A communist coup. Not trying to hide it at all.”
I never thought I would live to see the day when brazen Stalinists took over this country and met so little resistance from others in the government, media, military and law enforcement. They have certainly laid the groundwork well, leaving little choice for the citizenry besides using this as a test case for the Second Amendment (original intent), probably in the near future I suspect.
Yeah! Ditto!!!
Earth to commies in DC....we’re coming for you...real soon.
They won’t. I almost wish they’d try. I’d absolutely guarantee a spectacular result.
We the People warn of “Lock-and-Load” Over Administration “Command-and-Control” warnings.
I know the left has made that term a negative.
We’re reclaiming it. I didn’t post it, but I think I know who did.
It’s a good thing. Proclaim it.
Good. Do it, fools.
See what happens.
Obama is not Christian, not American and not a Patriot - we can not change that. He is the President - we better change that.
It sure sounds like they're playing a game of "Good Fascist, Bad Fascist", doesn't it...
Moron Gibbs is up there talking about not having a professional party planner testify in Congress about a party crasher under the guise of seperation of powers, yet this administration will put czars in commanding positions to promote new laws restricting our freedoms.
We are in big doo doo with these half-brains.
I believe it is.
Who handed him the TARP money? I will never forget or forgive either.
That.... deserves an Oscar.
