Here is what Obama said about Cap and Trade lately:


"Cap-and-trade was just one way of skinning the cat; it was not the only way," Obama said at a news conference Wednesday, a day after Democrats lost control of the House. "I'm going to be looking for other means to address this problem."

________________

Now I have to ask, why isn't PETA in an uproar? Obama is telling is that he knows more ways to skin a cat. Does this mean Obama is a dog person?

Catfish.
Fish don't feel pain ya know!

Just another way of Obama saying I'm still gonna screw you. If he can't force it down our throats, he'll tell us to turn around and bend over so he can force up our poop chute. What a complete loser. His disdain for the American people is only outweighed by his ego. Hang in their Jim, only two more years.

Remember to read the Cap and Trade bill introduced by John McCain and Joseph Lieberman back in 2003 or so. I will leave it up to others to get the exact date but I distinctly remember that they introduced the bill at least once. Where was the outrage then and now?

I don't defend Obama but I like fair and balanced reporting and assessment of congressional transgressions from both sides. The Bill is wrong no matter who introduces it but both sides share the blame for the abominable piece of poor legislation. My point is that many conservatives have selective memory--including Lush, Insanity and Beckster.

Obama had the votes to get it passed and that is why the outrage. There are lots of things proposed, but few are brought to a vote.

Truth right there, cap and trade will strangle our economy no matter who comes up with it or approves it.

Which "sides" do you refer to as "both" ? The liberal republiclowns and the liberal demonrats ?

That's only one side. The other has been opposed to this crap all along.

Same with that amnesty for illegal aliens BS Mclame and co rolled out a few years ago.

I said it before... Obama going to order USEPA to give Cap and Trade rule under Clean Air Act.
Rule has force of law but DOES NOT need Congress.

Congress can try to force EPA to cancel etc the rule but is unlikely to happen.
Court have a shot but Obama stack SCOTUS? Also unlikely...

The folks here never make distinctions between liberal republicans, liberal democrats or conservative republicans or conservative democrats so why should I? I like McCain but my allegeance is because he was in the Hanoi Hilton while most present day politicians(Bush, Clinton, Cheney, etc) were hiding out with college deferments or in the National Guard. I drew the line with McCain over Cap and Trade. I detested it then and I detest it now.

I heard Hannity many times nearly salivate over Lieberman's defection from the Democrats. Why would such a hardline conservative spokesman like him embrace Lieberman given his voting record? I heard NO uproar over the Lieberman-McCain Bill at the time. I listened daily to Lush and Hannity in those days and heard nothing.

What is your opinion over Reagan's amnesty for 13 million illegal aliens in the 1980s? Were you outraged then as now? If so, how did he get reelected? Why is he diefied by the hard right? Inconsistency and selective memory seems to be some conservative's strongest points. FTR, I am against any amnesty for illegals and I strongly support the Arizona governor.
