Yeah, somebody asked me how am I going to make up the money I’m going to lose under this theft.

I guess if I figure out how to game this cap and tax system, I could make a lot of money. I’m sure CitiBank, Bank of America, etc. are working on that right now.....

Boehner is doing pretty well, although I can’t take him seriously since he sold out of Bush’s Bailout Giveaway.

They have kept the status quo for decades by blocking America’s ability to use our own fossil fuels. HR2846 The American Energy Act was introduced on June 12th, but the leftist would rather vote on a tax hike they haven’t even read yet instead.

John Boehner is kicking ass out there. He is proving this is just a bureaucratic power grab. Talking about how we would have to import from China because they aren’t under the same rules.

Ha, said he read part of 300 page amendment, and told how it purposely jumps all around etc. The managers’ memo was nothing but crap. What does everything mean?

3:09 A.M. this morning he got this crap

waxman is trying to stop him. the speaker of the house said Bohner can read what he likes he is entitled.
he is reading pages and asking why these 300pages were there and what they mean. he says he cant figure it out.
I hope that he can filibuster it but i doubt that waxman will allow it.

Bohner said Waxman had 30 years to draft this and had the nerve to drop 300 pages at 309am, we need to look it over.
loud applause from the crowd.

Homes to follow California standards.
