Barack Obama will on Wednesday make a renewed push to spur the US Senate into action on climate change, saying the BP oil spill underlines the urgency for the country to lessen its dependence on fossil fuels.No, he doesn't. He wants cap-and-tax...period. He's not interested in what anyone else has to say. This is another dog-and-pony show like the silly conference he did with Republicans on Obamacare. He wasn't interested in anything but looking like he was interested, in order to fool the pundit class and the small thinkers.
The US president will host senators from both parties at the White House – including those who have proposed variations on a climate change bill – but analysts are sceptical about whether he can overcome the political impasse on a proposal that is seen as essentially a tax.
“The oil spill has dramatically increased the urgency for the need to act,” said Daniel Weiss of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. “But I’m not looking for any breakthrough at the meeting. I think President Obama wants to listen to various concerns and follow up on various ideas.”
It clearly worked with this Weiss fool.
