Who could have expected that Obama would be a big States Rights guy, like we on the Conservative side want the GOP to be?
Reversing another Bush administration policy, President Obama announced this morning that he will order environmental regulators to immediately look at the request by Massachusetts and at least a dozen other states decide their own standards on auto emissions, an avenue for reducing carbon dioxide and other gases that help cause global warming.
“We must have the courage and commitment to change,” Obama declared.
In 2007, the Bush administration denied California’s request to enact tougher tailpipe emissions standards, which would force automakers to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent in new cars and light trucks by 2016.
So, Obama is a neo-con, wanting to uphold the power of the 10th Amendment and return the power back to the States where it belongs, and Bush was a neo-liberal, wanting to increase the power of the federal government over the States? Weird, dudes
(Yeah, I know he probably did it for some other reason, probably because States will enact the legislation faster then the Fed gubermint, but, it was fun to write! Now, if only he and the other electaCritters would remember what the 9th Amendment states.)
In related news, the car makers are highly concerned over this, as they think it could harm their business even farther when combined with this down economy.
And, oh, Mann Made Global Warming Has Been Confirmed.
