Obama proposes greenhouse gas solution that will hurt middle and lower class

Democrat Barack Obama is calling for sharply reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and forcing power companies and other businesses to pay for all of their pollution.


He said Monday that he would get results, unlike those whom he said are bound by the unwritten rules and timidity of Washington politics.


"Our energy problem has become an energy crisis because no matter how well-intentioned the promise, no matter how bold the proposal, they all fall victim to the same Washington politics," Obama said.


"As president, I will set a hard cap on all carbon emissions at a level that scientists say is necessary to curb global warming, an 80 percent reduction by 2050," he said.


Well, at least Barry tries to tell you that his bold proposal and well-intentioned promise is doomed to fail.
