“This is a backdoor maneuver to create vast new climate change powers without any public comment or involvement of the American people,” said Rep. Doc Hastings of Washington, ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee.
The thing is – many of these items written into all the bills passed since Obama’s been in office could probably have been passed. They DID win. The country swung left. So why all this backdoor maneuvering?
I can’t keep up and I’m thankful to those who do and it just pisses me off more and more every single day as something else comes up.
It can only be that Obama actually has a positive attitude about this economy so he wants all this stuff passed before the recession ends within 2 years like every other recession has done in the past. Evil. Sneaky. Underhanded. And all to gain power. This sounds exactly like how the left would characterize Bush. hmmmm
I don’t think the recession is going to end in two years. In our perpetual condition of navel gazing, few have noticed that the economic crisis is world wide now, and American policies can’t really fix this in a year or two.
Oh – It’s been noticed. Don’t worry. Why do YOU think that there is all this back door maneuvering?
These sorts of bills would pass through this Congress. I’m very uncertain as to why he doesn’t want to walk them through and instead is just adding them on to other big items.
