Boehner hits the nail on the head
President Obama’s soon-to-be-revealed second-term climate change proposal is “absolutely crazy,” Speaker John Boehner said Thursday.
The Ohio Republican was incredulous when asked to react to reports that the White House plans to regulate carbon emissions from power plants as part of its climate change strategy.
“I think this is absolutely crazy,” Boehner said at his weekly press conference. “Why would you want to increase the cost of energy and kill more American jobs at a time when American people are asking, ‘Where are the jobs.’ “

James Padgett says: “Obama is looking for his legacy.”
By what I can tell he already has several, here are some of them:
* “Fast n’ Furious” – sending US guns to Mexican drug cartels resulting in two slain government agents and many murdered Mexicans for the purpose of bolstering his political position for more US gun control. Invoke executive privilege to withhold communications he says he didn’t have with the DOJ.
* Benghazi -dereliction of duty, lying to cover it up, maybe giving SAM’s to people who vow to kill us, maybe even being complicit with the enemy in a kidnap plot of Ambassador Chris Stevens that he knew might result in the death of Stevens and others. Flatly refusing to send military help to those under attack.
* IRS thuggery – use IRS as one more political snooping tool (like he didn’t already have enough..) and to snuff out political opposition by shutting off their financial means to educate people on the direction of US policies.
* Perversion of the NSA and the Patriot Act – retain ALL conversations and just lie ~saying~ that no one is listening to them when in fact they are listening for the purpose of blackmail and leaks to his lapdog media. (Just like ‘no one’ looked at Ryan’s sealed custody papers before his thugs ran to one of the most pukingly liberal judges in the country to force them open.)
* Obstructing the Keystone Pipeline for no good reason.
* Ordering a moratorium on deep water Gulf oil drilling despite having no sound scientific basis to justify it.
* And of course… Obamacare – Fascist collusion with insurance companies to takeover 1/6 of the US economy. Destruction of US health care; doctors now retiring early, fewer med school applicants, insurance premiums skyrocketing, death panels are a reality just like Sarah Palin told you, (Sarah Murnaghan – Fortunately, this time, House republicans were able to save her life from the jaws of a death panel of one – Obama’s grim reaper Kathleen Sebelius )

If the military–a quintessentially practical organization run by hardcore realists–is planning for it, it is real. Our government does not place billions and billions of dollars in the hands of generals to protect us from fantasies. It’s unfortunate that these billions aren’t going toward protecting us from the fantasies and idiotic and corrupt notions of conservatives who are too stupid and corrupt to govern the nation in necessary ways.

The military had plans on the table to deal with the coming ice-age back in the 70’s too. Also contrary to your solemn faith the prudent financial practices of the Federal government it seems apparent that it throws around $billions more carelessly than guys throw around singles at a strip club.
