... Given that the administration has indicated it will try to bypass Congress to the extent it can and act via executive order, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee should provide some entertaining footage for C-Span.

The Regime's Supreme Puppet told us his opinion of coal in 2008:

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.” - Barry Soetoro.

If your intention is to bankrupt coal power plants, why not start with coal mines?

Then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, Issa! Subpoena the sumbatches! Don’t just pontificate! We elected this Congress to go and get our freedom back. It’s time you get off your ruling-class ass and DO SOMETHING!

It’s all up to the REPUBLICANS to explain the impact of shutting down our energy industry (i.e., the end of the US as an industrialized country).

If they cannot do it, we really don’t deserve to be more than a Third World country.
