Pence: Obama exploiting spill to push climate change legislation
By Michael O'Brien - 06/15/10 10:28 AM ET


President Barack Obama is exploiting the Gulf of Mexico oil spill to push climate change legislation, a top House Republican asserted Tuesday.

GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) accused the president of piggybacking off the environmental crisis to push climate change regulations as part of a new energy bill this summer.

"To exploit this crisis to resurrect his climate change legislation is just wrong," Pence said at a stakeout at the Capitol this morning.

Obama is expected to call for new energy legislation this evening in his first Oval Office address, following a two-day trip to the Gulf to survey the economic and environmental damages resulting from the ongoing oil spill.

The president has begun to whip up support for such legislation in an e-mail to supporters yesterday, and is expected to expand in greater detail his expectations of what that legislation might look like, and whether it would include measures to rein in climate change.

...legislation necessary for the survival of civilization through a bone-headed, corrupt and incompetent Senate.

The smarmy POS...

Just like deficit spending and war mongering.

:thumbsup:

environment is so evil! What better time then now?

Haven't you been listening to your Glenn Beck???? :eyes: :sarcasm:

Mike Pence can suck lemons.

for itself..except to the very ignornant, pence.

Barely optimistic though...

as in a noun, a verb, and...

their agenda....

Can anyone really say that without thinking of 9/11 and being awestruck at their fucking hypocrisy? Jeebus!

I assure you that he is not representative of all Hoosiers, at least not the rational ones.

to push us into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

You know why? CAUSE THAT'S WHAT FUCKIN HAPPENED.

for expanded drilling with no new regulation.

Oh yeah, thats right. Obama gave away the farm on that one too, getting nothing in return again.

Presidents and corporations do this shit all the time. Use an issue to drive a bill, law, regulation, or war. It's the only way shit gets done at all most of the time.
