Obama may put global warming bill on the back burner

  In his State of the Union address early next year Barack Obama intends to announce that he will focus on reducing the federal deficit next year. When you are finished laughing and can continue reading please do.

  If Obama does follow through on this promise, which is unlikely considering his propensity for breaking promises, it looks like the cap and trade legislation will be a casualty of Barack Obama’s newfound  frugality.

  There is a chance that Obama could curb spending next year because it is an election year.

Democrats have to reassure voters we are not being reckless,” said a Democratic official involved in the planning. “The White House knows this and that’s why we’ll be hearing a lot about reducing the deficit early next year. Democrats owned this issue for the past four years and cannot afford to cede it to Republicans now

  The country cannot afford cap and trade legislation period and the Democrats cannot afford cap and trade legislation from a political standpoint. I do find it interesting however that if we are reaching, or have reached, a crisis point in regard to the environment and that action needs to be taken before it is too late as we are constantly being told, that Democrats would find the political ramifications of saving the world more important than actually saving the world. If the situation was as dire as we are told wouldn’t it be irresponsible for Democrats to put politics first?

  This should just help to show people that climate change is not the serious issue that the left claims that it is. Climate change, and cap and trade is nothing but bullshit, it is contrived, it is a hoax. Politicians have been preying off of fear in the hopes of passing a huge tax increase as well as government regulations and controls. They realize that this is political dynamite in 2010, cap and trade will further destroy the economy and while the administration has been trying to ram healthcare reform down our throats instead of focusing on the economy turning next to cap and trade would be suicide.

  So cap and trade will fall by the wayside, and don’t get me wrong, this is great news regardless of the reason. But the fact is eventually cap and trade will be back on the table after the 2010 election if we do not vote these people out of office. We may have earned a reprieve on this issue but it is not dead.

  If Democrats manage to save their jobs in 2010 they will be able to return to saving the world. They have just prioritized the issues I guess.
