Uhh, Obama+the Dems couldn't pass cap and trade when they had huge majorities. What the hell chance do they have now?

Acting like Obama is in any way "compromising" here is typical Mick BS. It's a political reality Cap and Trade is dead, and it's dead by force, otherwise Obama would still be pushing it. In order to "compromise", pretty sure you must actually give in on something, not try to shove something down the American throats, be beaten back, then offer to "compromise" by giving up what you already lost.

And as Obama well knows, his EPA is still trying to push CO2 caps without legislation. Real compromise would be Obama saying "ok, I'll call off the EPA on CO2 for more EV subsidies". Which of course he will never do.

I still maintain the number 1 factor destroying America's economy, period, is the EPA, specifically their absolutely draconian, economy stifling, ozone and CO2 regulations. Until we get two Republican majorities AND a Republican president in 2012, the EPA cant be reigned in on CO2 (because if the GOP passes a bill doing that, Obama will veto it), and nobody can build a factory, thus there are no jobs. Thus, the economy is only going to get worse until at least 2012. This will most likely continue to be very bad for Democrats.

Obama is a weasel and an extreme leftist, time has proved that. I dont like Bill Clinton, but at least Clinton had some common sense back in the day to not gut the economy, Obama doesnt.

I seem to recall Obama saying something like "Uhhh the Republicans put the car in the ditch. We got it out of the ditch, but they can still ride with us. Just maybe in the backseat"

Yeah please, this Obama that would "lead from the center" was a media fantasy, he never existed. He's never compromised, never listened to the other side, and NEVER even tried to work with Republicans.

You know what's really funny? It's not the Republicans that's his leading opposition. They never had the votes until now. It was his OWN party. That's what killed Cap and Trade. That's why they had to use a dirty illegal trick to get Health Care passed. His own party, with a huge majority in Congress, wouldn't give him the votes. He's so radical and uncompromising his own party is turning against him.

What Obama said was that republicans put us in the ditch, democrats worked to get the car out while republicans commented on how democrats were doing it wrong but wouldn't help democrats get it out of the ditch, and then once democrats got the car out of the ditch republicans wanted to drive again.

He also said, much to my amusement, the following:

We want to go forward, not backward. And what do you do to go forward in a car? You put it in D, not R. So we're gonna put it in D!

just to clarify, that word is amusement not agreement...before people jump on this

ALso just wanted to throw my 2 cents in on this. I believe Obama tried to work with Republicans at first. But then when he saw that wasn't happenening the way he wanted it to happen he just decided to do whatever he felt like
