 Obama’s EPA director is threatening to take matters into her own hands

The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn’t move to regulate greenhouse gases,the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control"role over the process in a way that could hurt business.

The warning,from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity,came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen,Denmark.

Jackson,however,tried to strike a tone of cooperation in her address Wednesday,explaining that the EPA’s new powers to regulate greenhouse gases will be used to complement legislation pending in Congress,not replace it.

"This is not an ‘either-or’moment. It’s a ‘both-and’moment,"she said.

    I think the solution lies in the American people banding together and peacefully marching on the white house,senate and house and taking our country back. They can't stop 100,000 people marching on Washington. We peacefully march into the oval office and notify obama that he has been discharged from the office of President and is being replaced,let it be know that he has till the end of the day to get himself and his family out. Then we march onto the floors of the senate and the house with same message,your all out,vacate the premises by the end of the day your being replaced. Then put a new government in place that is dedicated to the best interests of the American people. It is not complicated and the people need to understand that those folks in Washington are afraid of the American people because they can't stop us if we decide to take our country back.

      No..No don`t give them until the end of the day! Those SOB`s are too slick and will regroup and call in the bro troops. They should be told we will gather their personal belongings and send them to them. And why are we being so nice? The republicans have been too civil up to this point. I am fighting mad!! Just tell us when and where.

    Congress our of naivety and greed passed the Stimulus bill without reading it. The president took his time to sign the bill and after 6 months only 3% had actually been spent indicating that the bill was not for economic stimulus but rather a power grab with provisions for payback to contributors and for future leverages. Congress didn't complain as they felt they were partners with the administration and lined up to get some of the goodies. Additionally,they empowered the EPA,no problem we are partners. Now they are being threatened by their so called partner,what a shock. They are making themselves effete and of lessening consequence,destroying the balance of power. If they don't wake up they will have the honor of being the ones to destroy the greatest republic ever on earth. What a shame..Only congress can stop this madness and they must act immediately.
