Better he bow to the demands of Congressional Republicans than to foreign kings...
PANIC...(don’t trust him)
Even if it’s a lie the announcement is good for a few exploding liberal heads.
The comments at the yahoo article are discouraging, at least for the future of our country.
It seems like we, the thinkers, are outnumbered.
Not just the EPA.

All regulations from the EPA with the force of law (ie, ALL) should be required to be approved by Congress.
If the Republicans were serious about smaller government, and didn't want to control it and expand it to support their agenda, they would propose something like this:
I've emailed and faxed that proposal to my Establishment, Ruling Class RINO Congress Critter, but received no response so far.
Regulations are not Laws Act
No regulation proposed by the Executive Branch or any agency thereof shall have the force of law until it is passed by a majority of both houses of Congress and signed into law by the President.
All regulations currently documented in the "Code of Federal Regulations" will sunset 5 years after the passage of this act, unless those regulations are presented to Congress and passed by a majority in both houses of the Congress and signed into law by the President.
“Barack Obama hates clean air”
They don't want the pain of higher energy prices to hit until AFTER the election. If he manages to get re-elected, all bets are off. If Perry or another Repub gets in, we can hope that the insanity is stepped on by Executive Order.
New Mexico Ping
It gets real interesting when you have a narcissist on the run.
This is just lip service-
The EPA will SELECTively go after the power plants
it wants to- how about:
Texas-
Utah
Kansas
Florida
Leave out:
California, illinois- any other liberal state-
Guys and Gals- the Demon party has morphed into :
Anti American
Anti Constitution
Anti Christian
Anti Free market
Anti Buisness
Marxist/Socialists
You are 100% correct.
Overruled the EPA huh. That’s funny, as they’re the jackboots who have been responsible for implementing much of his crushing agenda.
It’s even funnier because the EPA works solely under the direction of the President. Welcome to the twilight zone where the President’s right finger overrules his left toe.
The legislative (law making) powers are Constitutionally vested only in Congress, and as you both said, have to be passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the president.
To punish anyone under a federal “regulation” that has not gone through this process needs to be rule unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. We just don’t have the right makeup on the court to do this. It would be very “ballsy”, and would certainly put the Leviathan back in its cage.
But, it would cost a lot of people a LOT of power, and most couldn’t stomach such a situation.
Obama is toast and will announce not running for a second term. Huntsman will switch parties and run as the democrat. There, problem solved.
GOP best have an outstanding candidate.
Not so fond memories of Clinton/Reno.
He would direct an executive order to dramatically decrease the regulatory burden on the business environment, change the legal regulation to Loser-Pays-All, permit the drilling for oil in already known sites, and ditch the Labor Union supports of the Federal Government, fire the Ideologues in his administration, and take a race/gender/religion blind approach to governance
But he is not smart, and cannot change his ideologue spots...
I like it!
Sad, really, all that would make him a hero! I’m of the school that it doesn’t matter where the good ideas come from!
Until that time that government doesn’t attack businesses, this small business owner is in ‘slow roll’ mode!
