President Obama acknowledged Thursday that a climate change bill strongly backed by the White House will face an extremely close vote in the House of Representatives as early as the end of the week.

Obama made an urgent plea for congressional approval in what could be an early make-or-break test for his young administration.

"Now is the time for us to lead," Obama said in the White House Rose Garden. "We cannot be afraid of the future. We cannot be prisoners to the past."

“We cannot be afraid of the future. We cannot be prisoners to the past.”

Oh yes we can of confiscatory taxes and economic collapse if we follow your fool plan Obama.

[Neoliberalnot]

Going according to his transfer of wealth from the private to the govt’ sector as we stand by for the neo-marxist to put the economy in another tailspin.

That’s not even counting the 58% higher gas cost.

Dear Lord, my last prayer was about OBAMA not Michael Jackson. Please, Lord, let’s do this one more time.

Imagine you're a dim congress-person from Ohio, WV, AL or TX...or a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (the most REGRESSIVE tax in US History)and 'ol bambi and Pelosi are forcing you to actually VOTE for this monstrosity tomorrow.

It's one thing to get along with your caucus and talk the talk about Cap and Tax, it's a whole 'nuther program to actually vote to increase the cost utility bills, the price of gas/diesel and every single thing Americans purchase.

IF the GOP can hold the line and deny these CBC and rural/"conservative" dims cover, this bill will fail by 30 votes, EASY.

[hoosier hick]

Too low. Obama promised to make alternative energy “profitable,” and that will take 400%+ increases...

A Fools Fool nothing more I fail too see what driving the country into an insurrection is going to do for his toy and Illegal so called presidency?

[Joe Boucher]

And each and every p.o.s. congress that votes for this will be a target come election time.

[blueyon]

KEEP CALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tobyhill]

OPM, Other Peoples Money. That is what's driving this insanity. There's two classes driving this so-called debate but in this case they ultimately end up on the same side, the ones that want to punish those that have and the ones that have but don't think the consequences will effect them. Conservative are out of the debate and the two sides controlling the issue are idiots.

[jcmfreedom]

I called over 16 yesterday.. the switchboard is jammed tonite. p.s. call Rep. Mike McIntyre (NC) 202-225-1640. What a jerk. I’m going to fight to get him beat the next election.

Another thought....who in Congress will benefit from cap and trade? I know Al Gore will. His 100 million pocketbook will increase to 1 billion. Who else is in on the potential cash?

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

Next time, try using his name instead of ‘that really light-skinned narcissistic black guy who keeps trying to screw my kids”
