Obama’s EPA makes it even harder to do business in the U.S.
Officials gather in Copenhagen this week for an international climate summit,but business leaders are focusing even more on Washington,where the Obama administration is expected as early as Monday to formally declare carbon dioxide a dangerous pollutant.
An "endangerment"finding by the Environmental Protection Agency could pave the way for the government to require businesses that emit carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases to make costly changes in machinery to reduce emissions —even if Congress doesn’t pass pending climate-change legislation. EPA action to regulate emissions could affect the U.S. economy more directly,and more quickly,than any global deal inked in the Danish capital,where no binding agreement is expected.
Many business groups are opposed to EPA efforts to curb a gas as ubiquitous as carbon dioxide.
An EPA endangerment finding "could result in a top-down command-and-control regime that will choke off growth by adding new mandates to virtually every major construction and renovation project,"U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said in a statement. "The devil will be in the details,and we look forward to working with the government to ensure we don’t stifle our economic recovery,"he said,noting that the group supports federal legislation.
This Presidents agenda is clearly anti-business,anti-free enterprise. His poudng away at the very fabric of our nations economy with support of the global warming myth is malpractice. Shame on America if we continue to allow him to beat up our fellow man with measures that close down businesses and put our neighbor out of work. Stand up and be counted or be mowed over by this one world order,would be king called Barak Hussein Obama.
Your so right American Man. People are beginning to see what this man is all about. He's anti-America,an enemy in the oval office destroying America every single day that passes.
IMPEACH OBAMA campaign.

Yes,we need to impeach this man,he does hate our country and what made it great. Control carbon dioxide???? Man,how stupid can one get. That is like trying to control gas a human passes at least 3 to 15 times a day. Never happen. IF this happens,kiss a lot of jobs away. There is NO SUCH THING as global warming,period!!!!! Have you ever known someone to die from green house gases???? No???? You are right. All green plants of all kinds take in carbon dioxide and gives off pure oxygen,it is part of life. Plants are one thing that all women have in their homes to keep the air fresh. Have you ever bought plants from a green house??? Sure you have and you are still alive right??? Well,take away the gas(oxygen) and then you will die. So much for their (E.P.A.) stupidity.
Excellent observation Duane. Love your explanation. Glad you agree on impeachment. I don't want to wear it out,but we need to get those signatures so the procedure can start.
It is time for revolt. Tell Obama to shove it,you aren't paying for his bulls@@t,tell the EPA to go to hell and tell the IRS to pound sand. If you study a bit,there are loopholes in all the agendas…use the loopholes.
In the meantime,I will keep on burning old tires. Screw 'em
I agree with all of you,we the people have got to do something to get ALL of these people out of office!!
2010 is coming,our sweet revenge to clean both houses up.
I agree…unfortunely democrats are not listening ! As evidensed by the tea party they have ignored. They are doing as Obama wants them to..Hiltler had the same kind spell binding personality. It is too bad white people are so civilized…because we mad need to create civil disobiance to get them to listen! We pay for their pay checks,for their insurance..it is time to fire them all.
That's right Boe
As one with a doctorate,I realize,unlike this moron Obama,that one cannot equate degrees with either intelligence nor managerial ability. Furthermoe,this loon is either deaf or brain-damaged if he sat in Wright'church for 20 years and heard not a word of his America-hating nor his bigotry. I do hope that a Republican/independent Congress in 2010 wil be able to mpeach this aspiring White House ayuotollah.
We need to get a House and Senate that will start impeachment in2010 these that aew up there now have already been bought off by George Soros for the evil mraxists communists muslim boy in the white house they are all alike
Your right Faith HOPE. I'm really looking forward to 2010.
