Almost as if it had been created for him, it seems that the BP oil spill couldn’t have come at a better time for Obama. Just when The Obama was cogitating over how to reintroduce the Energy Cap & Tax bill--which will skyrocket energy rates so that many of us will not be able to afford basic electricity--the BP oil spill occurred. This was most convenient for Obama and his plans to continue gutting the USA and its citizens.
Suffice it to say, if US and US-based oil companies had not been forced by environmentalists to drill at depths to which humans cannot safely travel, this would not have happened. If the spill had occurred at more human-friendly depths, the clean-up would have been much easier to handle and much faster to affect. And, why is Obama still dragging his sizeable feet in allowing Louisiana and the other Gulf Coast states to begin cleanup on their own? Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) begged Obama for weeks to allow the placement of berms (raised barrier separating two areas). Obama ignored the Governor. Even leftist James Carville--a resident of the State--begged his leader to assist with: “We’re dyin’ down here!“ Finally, on 3 June, Obama relented and said he would allow the placements to begin. But, even this has not happened yet. But, it now appears it may be too late as the famously beautiful and pristine Louisiana marshlands have already been glutted with oil. Native birds are now covered with the deadly blend, while Obama fiddled, golfed, went on vacation and attended a Paul McCartney concert. Nero would be proud.
However, Obama believes this will work to his advantage. He thinks he can and will--as he did with ObamaCare--shove Cap & Trade down our throats and virtually complete his enslavement of we the American people. Don’t let him do it folks. Call your Senators and Congress people, especially those up for reelection in November, and tell them NO CAP & TRADE OR YOU’RE OUT! Obama must have his power base removed. At this juncture it truly is Obama & Co vs. the American People. He cannot and must not be allowed to get away with his newest atrocity. It is We-the-People who must now decide who is to survive. I’m counting on us!

Washington Post Wonkbook: New Cap & Trade Push; Nuclear Option; New Ed Standards
Thursday, June 3, 2010; 6:42 AM
Dylan Matthews is writing Wonkbook while Ezra is in China.
Pivoting off the oil spill, Obama has promised to wrangle the votes needed for cap and trade this Congress. Meanwhile, the administration has ruled out plugging the oil spill with a nuclear weapon. And a group of governors and state school chiefs has released a set of national education standards set to adopted shortly by many states.

Obama is making a new push for cap and trade legislation, report Steven Mufson and Michael Shear: "In a speech at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, Obama made one of his strongest pitches for comprehensive climate legislation, arguing that the case for breaking the nation's addiction to fossil fuels has been made clearer by the environmental catastrophe in the gulf. The president vowed to gather votes for the climate bill in the 'coming months' and repeated his intention to roll back billions of dollars in tax breaks on big oil companies, to tap natural gas reserves as an alternative to coal, and to increase reliance on nuclear power."

No To CAP & TRADE!!
Hey, Mr. President with all due respect you can’t even cap a well in the gulf of mexico. So go fly a kite and take this cap and trade junk with you.
3. By what can 'only' be described as an extremely weird coincidence, a BP platform explodes, and walla, the Gulf of mexico is contaminated. Now one can see this as mere coincidence, or one can see a conspiracy. I merely ask the question, in light of no evidence at this point,...could the enviro-wackos have had ANYTHING to do with the failure? Bribing workers? Payoffs for faulty materials? Bribes to officials to ok dangerous construction?
4. Ozero begins the defamation of BP and ALL oil producers (except Getty who fellated him on his West Coast fund raiser). Now, all drilling and explorations is stopped. Green is the color of money and energy. And Cap and Tax are going to be pushed down America's throat for the purpose of finally, once and for all, destroying capitalism.
Is there a pattern here???????????????????
And who's to say it wasn't... ??
~45 odd days later and still no "blue ribbon" investigation into the cause of the explosion? No deep-sea images of the sunken oil platform? Forensic teams...??
Sorry. Something dropped out and I screwed up the post. But I’m sure you get the drift.
Please read and heed; also the linked articles. There is no explanation for the Obama regime's delay and their managed withholding of efforts in response to their charge of protecting America and the world from this oil leak crisis, other than the neo-Marxist, Cloward-Piven strategy of manufactured crisis. They are not that inept, just, apparently, that criminally evil.
Why else would such a force for nationalizing and globalizing the American economy and society leave it up to BP plc (not only a private corporation, also foreign) to manage the response to this national and world crisis?
Who do they blame, as government regulations were not enforced and government response maliciously provides for greater harm? -- the "capitalists" involved.
What do they seek, as they prevent measures of remedy? -- anti-American "cap and trade." - AW

Maybe he needs to focu on the first part of the bill.
CAP the LEAK!
Yep. Even the "walla"... :)
I can’t see Cap and Trade going anywhere.
OH! Now it makes sense! There’s a lot of money to be made through cap and trade. If I were the betting kind, I’d put money on there being people in Chicago standing to get even richer off of cap and trade.
TRAITOROUS SUICIDAL BUSTARD IDIOTS.
I hope you are right. I think the current idiots in congress would love another trillion dollar tax on us. Let’s hope we’re as fired up in November as we are now to vote them out.
