California's Henry Waxman unleashed a surprise attack Wednesday against fellow Democrat John Dingell of Michigan. Each wants to lead the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee; Dingell is now chairman. The panel will be extremely important in 2009, when President Barack Obama unveils his plans to dramatically alter America's energy strategy. Obama correctly wants to push renewables, something dear to Waxman's heart. Dingell, on the other hand, has been a longtime supporter of the Big 3 auto companies. He succeeded for years in fending off congressional attempts to require higher fuel efficiency from U.S. vehicles. In Waxman's attack against Dingell, he said in part: "The issues we will confront are immensely difficult. We will need the very best leadership in Congress and our committees to succeed. "Enacting comprehensive energy, climate, and health care reform will not be easy. But my record shows that I have the skill and ability to build consensus and deliver legislation that improves the lives of all Americans." Jodi Seth, a Dingell spokeswoman, responded: "Tearing a leadership apart is something the Republicans should be doing after their big loss. It shouldn't be the first order of business for the Democrats after a historic election." |

That would work..........
Jodi Seth, a Dingell spokeswoman, responded: "Tearing a leadership apart is something the Republicans should be doing after their big loss. It shouldn't be the first order of business for the Democrats after a historic election."The election shouldn't have gone Obama's way. What's "shouldn't" got to do with anything?
