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.
