President Obama on Energy Bill: "Make No Mistake, This Is a Jobs Bill"

Iftheir is a posibility to make our world better let it be done, by us,not to just talk,but do make a change,there is no other wayfor are future.

There are many of us who are not conservatives who know this administration is inept. We don't want the change they are feeding us and are doing something about it.

You conservatives amaze me. It takes no longer than a couple hundred days for you to demonize and resent the "change". We dealt with overstated world oppression and violation of our civil rights and blatant disregard to our world and environment. So the new administration inherits the worst economy since the great depression and you are so self absorbed that you can't see past your own nose. I know its a new concept, but change is good. If you cannot break from the bad habits, disgusting over consumption and mind blowing waste we create as a nation for the rest of the world to shoulder the increase in our power bill over the next thirty years won't matter because we'll be living in tents in the Rockies if we're lucky. Try, please try to break away from the "fat American" thought process and find hope in a new world. YES WE CAN!

Jobs bill? How does he say that with a straight face? What is their end game? If cap&trade passes we will all be in the streets.

NEED TO IMPEACH ALL THE OBAMA AND HILLARY ADMINISTRATION AND PUT ALL OF THEM IN PRISON WHERE THEY BELONG NOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AT ALL

"Make no mistake, this is a jobs bill," Mr. Obama said, arguing that the bill would "create incentives to spark a clean energy economy."

Make No Mistake this is a Snow Job!
This bill will impact seniors and low
income people the most by raising
their home heating costs and gas prices
at the pump.
Just Say No to the Dictator, Obama!
2012 can't come soon enough!

To talmag et al:

The power of the media and the stupidity of the American people cannot be underestimated here. Be warned: those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Doomed.

To MTC: Still trying the Nazi thing. For people who voted for a president who wanted to make changes...I say what is your problem? Every time he wants to make a change, people in Congress say "No". There are pollution problems and they need to be addressed. As to Mr. Boehner...he wakes up everyday to see just what he can be against. I don't hear him commenting on the latest GOP fraility. Seem he is very quite on this S. Carolina thing. What happened to his family values and God and family speech in this case? We need to realize that this president is very smart and know what he is doing. Look how he used the internet and no one else even though of it. I feel we need to support him and he sees the future for the country and maybe,just maybe he is right.

Sheeple:

In the 2005 published book How Green were the Nazis?: Nature, Environment, and Nation in the Third Reich the authors explain the Nazis received a warm welcome by the existing environmental organizations as there was ‘an ideological overlap between Nazi ideas and conservationist agendas’. As clearly illustrated by the current environmental groups, personal liberty is gladly sacrificed for what is called ‘the greater good’. It is a well-known fact that most of the environmental fanatics care nothing for matters of liberty, gladly surrendering it to tyrants and their promises of ‘environmental sustainability’. As the authors state: ‘The Nazis created nature preserves, championed sustainable forestry, curbed air pollution, and designed the autobahn highway network as a way of bringing Germans closer to nature.’ Several nationwide programs were initiated by the Nazis as a facade to cover their real plans. The first, ‘Beauty of Labour’, was created in 1934 to enhance the concept of a comfortable and pleasant workspace for the German worker. In the following year this ordinance was followed up by a ‘Reich Nature Protection Law’ to ensure the worker could walk through parks without worries. Also, laws were enacted to control air pollution. Besides of the fact that all political opponents were deported to concentration camps, it was green and happy days in Nazi-Germany.

But the hardcore environmentalists who had found their champion in the person of Adolf Hitler were soon to be disappointed. By the end of the 1930s, with a World War imminent, Hitler abandoned most of the environmental pretexts he had used to trick the masses, hook, line and sinker, replacing it with a war-ethos of sacrifice for the greater good and ‘lebensraum’. If only a pretext, the entire environmental thing was an excellent beta test for measuring the tolerance of the Germans in regards to the propaganda efforts of Goebbels which had indeed proven to be extremely effective. Not long after, Germany was plunged into a war that finally led to her complete dismemberment.

God help us all if this massive tax bill is passed.

First, CO2 is not a pollutant yet every Democrat happily reports it as so.

Second, the cap-and-tax scheme has already failed miserably in Europe. It costs the average UK family an additional $1300/yr with absolutely no benefit to anyone except the tax collector.

Third, this scheme even under the most optimistic estimates MIGHT change global temperatures by 0.2 deg F by 2100.

Fourth, the "green jobs" initiative in Spain has proven to be a catastrophic failure to their economy. Each "green job" created requires $800,000 of government subsidies to be viable and displaces 2.2 traditional (carbon consuming) jobs.

This whole pitch is insane. Nevermind the FACT that AGW is an unproven theory, that CO2 has never been proven to be a driver of climate in the past or current times, that countries like Australia are finally pushing back on similar massive energy taxes under the guise of "saving the planet". There is hope yet that science will rule the day but time is running out. Call your Representative and beg them to stop the madness. Oh, and ask them if they've read the bill.

"Make No Mistake, This Is a Jobs Bill"

B.S.!

Any jobs that are created will be wiped out by the increase in energy tax we'll be paying with this bill. I can't believe the WH and Congress are so out of touch that this would even be considered. The LAST thing we need is higher energy costs right now. We can't afford this happy green world now, we just can't.

this argument of raising your electric bill is a joke. We've already been told it's going through the roof. We can thank Republicans for removing all regualtion to "create competition"..... funny how that always ends up with 3 companies owning everything and raping the consumer. Thanks again pubs..

Concerned in OH . ..

Very transparent argument . .. you set up the straw man of the 'perfect Obama', the 'messiah' and the person who is saving "40 million jobs" and you pretend that's what we believe.

And then you pretend questioning this makes you the 'winner'.

What it reveals to me is you're more interested in your own personal political agenda to smear the President than in open debate or discussion.

Same with when you touted that Ashley Todd story as the truth and used it to smear Obama supporters when it was really a hoax.

Concerned in OH . ...

Okay, now I see you're just playing out your tired old agenda with no consideration of reality.

This was a preliminary report done BEFORE the final bill was drawn up and before the various compromises reached within the Congress and Senate - and you're attempting to stick the Obama administration with these figures in order to make them look bad.

What has obviously happened is that despite what you call Obama's 'scare tactics', the economic situation is actually WORSE than was first estimated.

As all of the world knows through their own economic situations, we're not through this economic crisis yet . .. and President Obama has certainly cautioned about that.

Anyway, you've got your agenda to smear the President; it would appear not much is going to change that.

"The administrations whole rationale behind the stimulus was to keep unemployment under 7.0% and that without the stimulus unemployment would hit 8.8%"

Really Concerned in OH . ... this report does not say that "the administrations whole rationale was to keep unemployment under 7.0%" in fact it says . . .

"It should be understood that all of the estimates presented in this memo are subject to significant margins of error."

and that this is "a PRELIMINARY analysis of the jobs effects of SOME of the prototypical recovery packages BEING DISCUSSED."

"It should be understood that all of the estimates presented in this memo are subject to significant margins of error.

"There is the obvious uncertainty that comes from modeling a hypothetical package rather than the final legislation passed by the Congress.

"But, there is the more fundamental
uncertainty that comes with any estimate of the effects of a program. Our estimates of economic
relationships and rules of thumb are derived from historical experience and so will not apply exactly
in any given episode.

"Furthermore, the uncertainty is surely higher than normal now because the
current recession is unusual both in its fundamental causes and its severity."

"a preliminary analysis of the jobs effects of SOME of the prototypical recovery packages being discussed. Our analysis will surely evolve as we and other economists work further on this topic. The results will also change as the actual package parameters are determined in cooperation with the Congress."

Concerned in OH . ...

I don't think this economic collapse is anything to joke about and I'm sure you don't either.

"The only logical conclusion, using Obama's own economics teams numbers, is that their $1T stimulus package has made things worse."

That's the only logical conclusion for you perhaps, but a realistic person might say - this economic meltdown (coming out of the end of the Bush administration) is far worse than thought.
