As Barack Obama’s signature health insurance program implodes, some observers are speculating that regulatory action on climate change could afford the beleaguered president a second chance at establishing an enduring policy legacy. Unfortunately, Obama’s climate policies, like his health care policies, highlight his fondness for centralized economic planning. The president unveiled his “new national climate action plan” at Georgetown University last June. The plan aims to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to 17 percent below their 2005 levels. In his speech, the president noted that he had urged Congress to adopt a “bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change.” But he also said he wasn’t going wait for Congress to act, so outlined what amounts to a kind of Climate Five-Year Plan, setting limits on greenhouse gas emissions at home while pursuing efforts abroad to reach “a new global agreement to reduce carbon pollution through concrete action.”

Just like any other Marxist Dictator, once he’s consolidated power, nary a care about the suckers who helped install him.
And lest we kid ourselves, with the Congress and Press we have, this guy does anything he wants with no meaningful objection.
We are so close to a NAZI-like United States.
Agenda 21 - Obama’s next excuse for tyranny.
The idiot is at it again..Spending our money..He thinks that his buddy the tree Al Gore made it rich he will too..
BTW, God made the earth to be completely populated and totally sustainable. "Sustainability" is another phony issue and excuse for tyranny.
He’ll sell Climate Change with a lie too.
The Prius crowd (no offense to people who buy it for the right reason, fuel economy) has already jumped on Haiyu the way Chris Matthews rejoiced over Sandy (”Thank God for Sandy”). A guy at work pompously informed me without the slightest qualm I might not agree, “The Philippines is one of the 4 most endangered places in the world because of global warming.”
It may be time to water the tree of liberty.
If Obama is going to do something about global warming, then the results will be the Earth will get hotter.
What an idiot - Barry-O's got a real good chance at an "enduring policy legacy" right now.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.
3. The earth is a rock.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
