Obama orders new rules on coal-fired plants, sets condition for Keystone pipeline
Fox ^ | June 25, 2013

Posted on 06/25/2013 11:56:46 AM PDT by Red Steel

President Obama pressed ahead Tuesday with his climate change agenda, calling for new regulations on coal-fired power plants and setting a strict condition for the approval of the controversial Keystone pipeline.

"We need to act," Obama said, in an address at Georgetown University.

Even before he spoke, the president's proposal drew condemnation from the coal industry and lawmakers whose states rely on that industry for jobs.

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican from West Virginia, said the proposal "could deliver an unrecoverable blow to coal-rich states" like hers.

But Obama claimed climate change is having "profound impacts" on the planet and must be addressed. He called for the U.S. to lead the world in a "coordinated assault" on the issue.

Going around Congress and unveiling what was likely to be his most controversial plank, Obama said he was ordering the Environmental Protection Agency to create the first-ever carbon emissions limits for existing power plants.

I am sick of obeying this criminals orders. Amerika is full of wussy men and wussy women. We sit here and allow this crook to steal from us and cheat us and ruin our country.

I hate us more than I do him because we let him get away with this.

Thanks for that!!! In my life I have lived in our largest cities brimming over with arts and culture and “creative people”. I much prefer the boring suburbs. I used to be able to listen to NPR as a news source. Now I can’t stand the complacent over-educated accents of the news-presenters who I am sure all adore the urban scene NPR comes from

Obama was ordering! Isn’t that why we want a POTUS, so he can give orders to the nation?

The coal and power production industries need to start suing this corrupt administration. They have the dollars and the constitution on their side.

I am sure this will make John Mccain and Boner really mad. We have no one in this government who isn’t bought...well Ted Cruz and a few others. So when is Texas breaking off again?

I truly believe the elites are all atheists and believe it’s up to them to save mankind. Personally I don’t care if the world burns to a crisp. I don’t plan on being here when it happens.

I asked some people why they’d vote for a muslim only 7 years after 911 and was told rather forcefully that obama is not a muslim and were pissed at anyone who said he was. They were satisfied that he is a Christian. Funny thing though, both of them are atheists.

The Trojans found a large wooden horse outside their gates. And a bunch of them wanted to take it within the walls of Troy as a trophy to show their victory over the Greeks.

But one old man came out and told them not too. He warned that the horse could be full of Greeks, because it was hollow. To prove it was hollow, he banged on the side of the horse to demonstrate that it was indeed hollow.
