Obama's latest folly
By: trollslayer Date: November 12, 2014, 9:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Today Obama signs an agreement with China (one of the worlds
biggest polluters) cutting our carbon emissions by approximately
26% of it's 2005 level. Meanwhile China agrees to cut it's
emissions after 2030 and may even increase them until then!!!!!
I would love to sell our current President a car. The saying
there is a sucker born every minute certainly applies to him.
[quote]The two nations have achieved "an historic agreement,"
President Obama said in a joint news conference here with his
Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the final day of his three-day
China visit. The deal represents "a major milestone in the
U.S.-China relationship," said Obama in the Great Hall of the
People. "It shows what's possible when we work together on an
urgent global challenge."
The United States will double the pace of carbon emission
reduction, he said, to 26% to 28% of its 2005 level.
China intends to peak carbon dioxide emissions around 2030, and
increase the non-fossil fuel share of all energy to around 20%
by 2030, said Obama, in what the White House called the first
ever Chinese agreement to set a ceiling on its CO2 limits.

I don't get it either. Just read earlier today about the
Chinese hacking our weather satellite infrastructure. They
break in to one government agency after another. Yet they get
rewarded for their bad behavior? I'd just as soon slap tariffs
on every Chinese product sent here.
And why aren't we hardening our own infrastructure? 2/3 of our
power plants are wide open to attack? Seriously?

This is a joke. The Chinese are cranking out new coal plants
every day. And we are going to give them THIRTY YEARS to slow
down? This is foolishness.

An agreement with China... Chinas word is worthless.
This "deal" is all about Obamas ego.
He vowed to shut down most of our coal power plants years ago.
This is just him going around Congress in an attempt to do just
that.
Cutting back room deals with China and Iran without Congress
approval.
Obama is a dictator. Not a President.

Snickers, could you possibly engage in intelligent conversation?
Without name calling and broad accusations?

We probably are hardening our infrastructure. It's just a matter
of keeping up. I'm sure we're doing the same thing. Just aren't
bragging about it anymore.

Excuse me.
Maybe we could talk about Sarah Palin? ;)
Or maybe her daughter Bristol?

over....6 years ago.

[/quote] You should have seen the crap that had been posted
about Sarah Palin, her daughters, and other family members over
in Munchkinland.
The nasty names that were called, and all the ridiculous
accusations that were made.
But post anything about Obama and your intelligence is
questioned.
Just what kind of policies did Palin subject the American
people to that were damaging? What terrible things took place
under her control?
Now Obama on the other hand...we can go on and on and on.
Obamacare, Fast and Furious, IRS targeting and harassing
conservatives, Benghazi, Solyindra and the other "green" company
scandals, Cash for Clunkers, to name just a few and the list
goes on and on and on.
