Obama Not Waiting for Congress on Cap and Trade
Good to know we have a White House which not only listens to the American people, but has the patience to wait for Congress to debate the measures put before it. It'd be a real shame if the President campaigned as one sort of man, and then completely reversed his actions once in power when it came to executive power, legislative action, and the bureaucracy.
The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson scheduled a news conference for later Monday to announce the so-called endangerment finding, officials told The Associated Press, speaking privately because the announcement had not been made.
The finding is timed to boost the administration's arguments at an international climate conference — beginning this week — that the United States is aggressively taking actions to combat global warming, even though Congress has yet to act on climate legislation.
Can't wait to see the Senate's reaction to this unilateral action by the President.
