remember when obama had to "make up my mind" on gay marriage and only decided to support after it was clear the tide had turned, when "evil" dick cheney supported ages lmao

He supported it in the 90s, and then went to not publicly supporting it in '08 for some dumb reason.

No need to make up poo poo when the truth is funnier (the truth is he was gonna do his big revelation that he supports it w/the "evolve" poo poo and it was going to make all these news headlines and he was going to do it on a certain day but then somebody interviewed Biden and Biden supported gay marriage publicly first ruining everything lmao)

Because American's are retarded and as much as we love our "Freedoms" we would be more than happy for congress to get fired into the sun and just elect a all powerful king every 4 years

You realize all that that's gonna do is make coal powerplants shut down and the coal companies are just going to export their coal to other countries in the eastern and western world who would be glad to use such a cheap supply of power.

point is coal is still going to burn and other people who are not American shall continue to not give two fucks about carbon footprints.

Its not Obama's fault that your government deadlocks and acts like children over every little thing.
because %75 of america cant name anyone in congress except their senator & representative, maaaybe the speaker of the house if they're really up on things, and its way easier to understand "the president hasnt done poo poo!!" than "well there's a loud minority in the house that is large enough to render the entire body intransigent and"

Coal creates a lot of local pollution as well so moving coal burning out of the US is still pretty good. Also pressures power companies to think of better ways to power poo poo like nuclear.

You realize that reducing any sort of major industry in a time when the job market sucks is pretty much a bad idea. Now is not the time to try and move poo poo out of the US, you do poo poo like that when people have more feasible alternatives and aren't threatened by a bad economy.

Because if your goal is to stop worldwide pollution it's not going to work, coal burning is just going to move to different places like Bangladesh or india because those people are burning asbestos or old computer parts to keep warm or for fuel and coal is certainly preferable to that. America has coal by the poo poo load, and someone somewhere is always going to get the rights to the deposits because a large portion of the global human population still needs coal by the truckloads.

All this does is appeals the environmentalists who just want their immediate area to meet their specific idealistic requirements. And they're not all that friendly to nuclear either since they're one of the main reasons why people are so afraid about atom splitting. They just want poo poo out of their visible sight.

The "war against coal" or what ever idiots call it these days is about stopping local pollution such as destroying rivers and air quality as well as pushing power companies to move towards nuclear/wind/anything else because 1. There needs to be more investing in those areas and 2. they will in turn create more jobs.

Pushing coal just creates lovely short term jobs, ironically for all the harping clean energy will kill jobs in the long term clean energy will offer a fuckload more stable jobs.

Except none of this will happen because this is a decree by the political machine. They'll take away jobs and then forget to add them because 6 months down the line they don't have an election coming up. I mean lets be honest neither party gives that much of a poo poo about the environment outside of the fact that it can make people give them money without question which helps funds their political campaigns.

I agree the different sorts of energy should be monetized, it's just look who's issuing the orders and their previous track record of getting poo poo done.

Actually coal power plants from states such as Ohio or Texas pretty much ends up in the NE due to prevailing winds, lolling at your bad argument on how they will just move it overseas.

Obama is doing what he can with what power he has, he can implement new EPA regulations and bend the rules a bit to move funding towards cleaner power but of course he can't force the market to do anything. The fact he's making this simple effort is great and he should have been doing this executive action poo poo since day 1.

Pretty much every president people have ever liked always broke the rules a lot and told congress to eat poo poo. FDR did anything he wanted to and everyone loved him because people like leaders who do poo poo, and unfortunately as president you need to to break rules to do poo poo.

Obama is a good president in the sense that he follows the rules and tries to negotiate sometimes, he's a bad president in the public view because he didn't take a fat poo poo in his hand and throw it at congress then just go do whatever to get his campaign promises done.

I was using an example of a president getting poo poo done but obviously going outside the rules to do it. He implemented a shitload of good things like the CCC and pushed Social Security. He also pretty much saved Britian from the nazis and helped out Russia a shitload with the lend lease programs.
