Obama: cap-and-trade may be separate in Senate bill

NASHUA, N.H., Feb 2 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama acknowledged on Tuesday that a controversial "cap-and-trade" mechanism to fight climate change could be separated from other aspects of an energy bill before the U.S. Senate.

A cap-and-trade system would set limits on greenhouse gas emissions and allow companies to trade permits to pollute. The system, a version of which was approved by the House of Representatives, is controversial, especially among lawmakers that represent states with big coal reserves.

"The most controversial aspects of the energy debate that we've been having: the House passed an energy bill and people complained that, 'well, there's this cap-and-trade thing,'" Obama told the crowd.

"We may be able to separate these things out. And it's conceivable that that's where the Senate ends up," he continued.

this POSOTUS wants us poor....wants us 3rd world so he can manipulate us with petty handouts so we can all go on the plantation system like black America and become slaves and serfs as in Cuba and Venezuela.

LOCK AND LOAD AMERICA!!!!!

MOLON LABE!!!!!!

Are they going to rush this to vote while they are still using the non-senator’s from Mass.’s vote - and delaying until Feb 11th, seating the legal senator, Brown?

How many bills has this non-senator now voted on since Brown was elected?

When dems were elected, they were seated 1 and 2 days after the election. Brown - and the country - is kept treading water for 3 1/2 weeks, just as long as the traitors can string it out.

And where are the republicans, the press and the people demanding different?

Reid and gang connived to delay like this and everyone was up in arms and Reid professed to capitulate and would seat him “immediately.”

Well, he still has not been seated and no one is making a peep.

HELLO

HELLO???
