Just watch, energy policy will become the Achilles Heel of the Obama Administration. This will take a few years but it will be the biggest reason why they lose the election in 2012, when gasoline prices will move up over $4.50 in the summer and then stay there. The Obamites will push for “windfall profits” taxes on oil producers sometime in 2011 when oil moves over $100 per barrel, and that anti-business rhetoric, CO2 regulation, and any actual tax increases will just drive prices higher.

When people cannot afford to heat their homes in the face of global cooling and skyrocketing energy costs...

When old folks are found frozen to death in their homes on a regular basis...

When children burn to death in homes heated with inadequate wood stoves...

Even then they will blame co2 emissions and continue to freeze people to achieve their ends of making the human existence as primitive and uncomfortable as possible.

Its one reason I wish they would pass cap-n-trade. Pass it before 2010. It will destroy the dems. Even the poor democratic base know what's what when their electric bills go up 400% and their me-maw dies of heat exhaustion...or is frozen to death because she can't afford to cool/heat her home.

Let them explain to their voters why we all have to give till it hurts (or kills) to save mother earth.

This...of course...assumes the GoP can string together a coherant arguement to fight them though...
