PUSHING THE "GREEN ECONOMY" IS EXPOSING OBAMA'S ARROGANCE AND CAUSING A MAJOR RIFT IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

NYTIMES:
“There’s a bias in our Congress and government against manufacturing, or at least indifference to us, especially on the coasts,” said Senator Sherrod Brown, Democrat of Ohio. “It’s up to those of us in the Midwest to show how important manufacturing is. If we pass a climate bill the wrong way, it will hurt American jobs and the American economy, as more and more production jobs go to places like China, where it’s cheaper.”

This brown state-green state clash is likely to encumber any effort to set a mandatory ceiling on the carbon dioxide emissions blamed as the biggest contributor to global warming, something Mr. Obama has declared to be one of his highest priorities.

Mr. Obama has said he intends to press ahead on such an initiative, despite opposition within his own party in Congress and divisions among some of his advisers over the timing, scope and cost of legislation to curb carbon emissions.

The centrist Democrats who urge a slower-paced approach represent states that are crucial electoral battlegrounds and that stand to lose the most from such regulation. They say they believe that global warming is a serious threat and they will support legislation to address the problem — but not at the expense of their already-strained workers and industries.

These Democrats are concerned, they say, that climate bills will be written by committees in the House and Senate led by two liberal California Democrats, Senator Barbara Boxer and Representative Henry A. Waxman, and shaped by Mr. Obama’s team of environmental and energy advisers, virtually all of whom are from California or the East Coast.
LOVE THIS PART:

THAT'S HUBRIS AND IT MIGHT LEAD TO OBAMA'S DOWNFALL. YEAH, BABY!

WE NEED TO EXPLOIT THIS FISSURE AND TURN IT INTO A GRAND CANYON!

THEN WE CAN STOP OBAMA'S "GREEN ECONOMY".

YES, WE CAN!

The Dems in Congress are concerned about garnering votes in the 2010 elections. This concern may put the brakes on some of BHO's agenda.
