WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday gave Congress an ultimatum on climate change: craft a plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the dangers of a warming world, or the White House will go it alone. "If Congress won´t act soon to protect future generations, I will," Obama said in his State of the Union address. "I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition

Comments:
Another day another ´ultimatum´. This one as he jets-off to Florida for a long weekend to enjoy warmer weather.

In all seriousness. He´s insane.

Amen, #1!

Anyway, this "dark cloud" might have a silver lining: defund the EPA.

Unreal. At a time when pretty well every ´green initiative´ Obama has taken - has wound up fairly classified as ´dismal taxpayer money-sucking failures´ - the clown in chief claims the moral (let alone scientific...) authority to dump yet *more* expense on the lives of Americans - for absolutely *nebulous* results?

Again - unreal. Apparently these jackasses really *do* intend for us to pay 9 bucks a gallon for gas - and face rolling power blackouts.

And we *pay* them for this? Rather than prosecute???

Whatta´ world...

And the brave Republicans will respond by complaining and then doing NOTHING.

Republicans = Cowards

This is difficult to say, but if Obama wasn´t protected by his affirmative action status, he would under psychiatric treatment. If he continues with his ruinous policies, his constant lies and his manic need to appear in front of staged crowds, he may be removed from office. In many ways, he is a threat to national security, but saying so gets one labeled a racist.

Let him go it alone- Let the American people, especially the unemployed ones, see exactly who is responsible for their misery.

Does he have more favors to pay for campaign donations ? More friends ?


Reply 10 - Posted by: Nodak, 2/14/2013 12:12:33 AM     (No. 9175270)

There is one thing that he could do on his own. He could voluntarily stop emitting carbon dioxide.


Reply 11 - Posted by: woofwoofwoof, 2/14/2013 12:19:56 AM     (No. 9175276)

I don´t get it, what has he been waiting for?

"If Congress doesn´t act soon, I may have to start doing my own job," he explained.

Some ultimatum.


Reply 12 - Posted by: afherkdriver, 2/14/2013 2:41:44 AM     (No. 9175348)

He causes the disaster but never gets the blame because all he does is campaign. Hsi supporters just don´t and can´t make the connection.

He keeps doing the same thing, HOPEing for a CHANGE in the result. Lets see, how do you define insanity?

This isn´t about "preparing our communities for the effects of global warming". It´s about preparing them for totalitarian control. We´re headed for civil war.

If he was serious about climate change, which Dems think is caused by pollution, he would talk to the Chinese whose pollution is so overwhelming it just drifted over to Japan.

Isn´t it amazing how Obama keeps the promises on the most destructive elements of the country but drops the ball on things like the economy and jobs.Now we see Obamacare will pay for sex change operations because people can´t help being born in the wrong body."I´ve been waiting all my life to be able to take a whiz without raising the sea".

Bloomberg raises property taxes on Sandy victims but the same people would vote for him again.None of the morons living in blue states look next door at low tax ,sane states and say I want to live like that.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Federal forecasters are predicting yet another busy hurricane season. Thursday´s outlook calls for 13 to 20 named storms, seven to 11 that strengthen into hurricanes and three to six that become major hurricanes.

Islamist militants have staged twin suicide car bombings on an army base and a French-run uranium mine in Niger, killing at least 20 people in retaliation for the country´s military involvement in neighbouring Mali. Niger´s Defence Minister Mahamadou Karidjo said the last Islamist was neutralised at the army base and denied early reports that a suicide attacker had held young army recruits hostage. The attacks come just four months after al-Qa´ida linked militants seized a desert gas plant in neighbouring Algeria in a siege that left 38 hostages dead, also in retaliation against the intervention in Mali.

WASHINGTON — Yemen welcomed President Barack Obama´s decision Thursday to lift a moratorium on transferring prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to the Gulf country. Obama announced the decision in a major speech outlining a new bid to close the "war on terror" prison, saying history will "cast a harsh judgment" on the offshore detention program and those who failed to end it. He said he would lift a moratorium in place on transfers of Yemeni detainees to their homeland, name a new envoy to handle the transfers, and ordered the Pentagon to designate a site in the United States

Sears Holdings Corp.

Revenue fell 8.8 percent to $8.45 billion. The company said it is also evaluating options for its Protection Agreement warranty business, including a possible sale.

NEW YORK - A company that promised sightseer tours to the Bronx that included a New York City "ghetto" has stopped the bus rides under protest from an outraged neighborhood. Real Bronx Tours, which took mostly European tourists from Manhattan to see life in the South Bronx "from a safe distance," issued a statement this week saying it would immediately cease all tours there. Three times a week, the $45 ride took visitors past food-pantry lines, a housing project and a park a guide described as a pickpocket hangout. Tourists were told they´d get a look at

Is Greek yogurt
hurting the environment?

Good for your body; terrible for the planet. Greek yogurt has seen an astronomical growth in sales over the past half decade — but it may be taking an unexpected toll on the environment. (Snip) Not only would that be illegal, but whey decomposition is toxic to the natural environment, robbing oxygen from streams and rivers. That could turn a waterway into what one expert calls a "dead sea," destroying aquatic life over potentially large areas. Spills of cheese whey, a cousin of Greek yogurt whey, have killed tens of thousands of fish around the country in recent years.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st?

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
