— DrewM John Boehner and Eric Cantor have been hammering Obama on the danger his regulation fetish poses to the economy.
Two days ago Obama defended many of his regulations and pointed out many were just proposals that might not be imposed. Today, by chance I'm sure, some of those regulations were tossed under that bus.
President Obama abruptly pulled back proposed new national smog standards Friday morning, overruling the Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to compel states and communities nationwide to reduce local air pollution in the coming years or face federal penalties.The move represented a win for the business community, which had lobbied to postpone new restrictions on ground-level ozone—known as smog—until 2013 in light of the current economic downturn.
In a statement, Obama praised EPA administrator Lisa P. JacksonÂ’s effort to improve the nationÂ’s air quality, but said he had asked her to withdraw the draft standards since they were scheduled to be reconsidered two years from now anyway.
I'm sure Obama's liberal base will just love that.
Boehner isn't letting up. Reacting to today's job news, he went on the offensive against Obama's "triple threat" to the economy.
Boehner said private-sector job growth “continues to be undermined by the triple threat of higher taxes, more failed ‘stimulus’ spending and excessive federal regulations."“Together, these Washington policies have created a fog of uncertainty that’s left small businesses unable to hire and American families worried about the future,” Boehner said.
...
BoehnerÂ’s statement was markedly different in tone from that of Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who suggested that there might be room for compromise between the administration and House Republicans.
Noting that Obama will “finally unveil his latest jobs plan” next week, Cantor said he believed there would be areas where Republicans and the White House could “work together to produce real results that will help job creators get people back to work.”
Expect liberals to go nuts over this stuff. They'll see it as giving in to Boehner and the GOP who will only be emboldened to demand more. And they'll be right. Obama's promised his TRILLION plus dollar, so-called "stimulus" would have unemployment under 7% by now and that without it we'd be at 8%. Well, we got it and unemployment is over 9% and the White House itself says it's going to be there for the next year at least. By their own lights, Obama's approach has made things worse, so you're damn right the GOP is going to try and move him, kicking and screaming if need be, to policies that will not only improve the GOP's electoral chances but improve the nation's economy. As the old saying goes, you can do well while doing good.
Thanks to David Hauptmann for the EPA story tip.
Mitch McConnell wants in on this and comes off the top rope with some quality snark.
This action alone will prevent more job losses than any speech the President has given

That should be "trillion".
And yeah, by doing this reveals that Obama knows these regs are going to kill jobs. How fucking transparent is this motherfucker? And remember how he open up the SPR amid rising gas prices? That too was an implicit understanding that supply of a good directly affects the market prices.
This cocksucker can't go soon enough. What a SCOAMF.

He's already made it worse with all the regs he's already had put in place (yes, I say him, not the EPA or whoever- the buck still stops with the President). If he want's credit, he needs to do something positive, not just refraing from doing something negative.
Oh. And Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

Wrong!
Regulations Create Jobs
"Actually, environmental regulations create more jobs because it drives innovation. There's more investment from venture capitalists into trying to invent the new technologies which we use here in the United States and then we export around the rest of the world. What's really going on here is that there's a contest amongst Republicans as to who can be the most anti-environment. For Republicans, EPA stands for 'Every Polluter's Ally.' And, you know, when Rick Perry says that he wants Texas to be able to secede from the union, he also wants the union to secede from science. Rick Perry and these other guys, they're allergic to science. And too many of the tea party people, who basically don't believe in science are now controlling a Republican party that once had a long rich history."

Still, this is just one regulation out of many in the pipeline....so doing just one is more like window dressing. This is a big one, in that it is projected to cost millions of jobs over the next 10 years.

Check out this quote I just transcribed for yous:
"The people who have held dominion over black people in America for decades are the black members of the Congressional Black Caucus. The problem they have right now is that there's nobody else to blame."
Dominion is a perfect word to describe it, too. And it applies to the entire Democrat party.
Now tell me who the true 'dominionists' are?

The new regs are carpet-bombing the whole economy. The nuclear industry is frozen because because Obama suspended the Yucca Mountain waste site. The food industry is fretting because of the sweeping new powers given to the FDA that basically federalizes food safety inspection down to every co-op garden and food stand. The banks are tied in knots because of Dodd-Frank.
The oil industry is threatened with loss of the DPA tax credit and depletion allowances. Gulf drilling permits are still being withheld (despite what Obama says). Many oil rigs have left for Brazil and will not return.
The EPA has declared that it intends to regulate carbon dioxide. It is busy preparing draconian new limits on allowed CO2 emissions from power plants that will more than double electricity prices in many regions.
The NLRB has decided that it can prohibit Boeing from building its new factory in a right-to-work state (SC), even though the factory is nearly complete and 1000 employees have already been hired.
The regs are hitting so fast that businesses can't handle it. A key doctrine of the US military is to hit the enemy inside their OODA loop. You hit them fast in one place, and before they can react you hit them again somewhere else. It ties up the enemy's CIC in knots. Bammy's wham-wham-wham reg attacks are sending America's CEOs into the bomb shelters.

Use this to demoralize his base--but don't let him get credit from moderates for it. Tell people he is only doing this because of the election, and if he is re-elected he will surely allow more job killing regulations to be imposed on the country with no recourse by the legislature.

Regulations do vcreate jobs. You need all sorts of expeditors in NYC to get any sort of license. The same is true in DC, and the process can last for months or years, all the while keeping people employed.
Mind you nothing is created but red tape.

Given that the Big O's "liberal base" quite literally is brain dead, I don't think he's got much to fear from that particular demographic.
That said, this move does smack of desperation on the part of the White House. We have to presume the internal polling is looking very bad.

The only correlation is that NYer's who are going to retire in ten years or so, took advantage of the huge huge huge drop in housing prices there to buy already built mansions that the native population needed to unload fast before they were lost to the bank.

You can figure, though, that if he gets re-elected, Obama will bring back every onerous regulation he's delayed, including the EPA crackdown and all his Obamacare waivers as well as a bunch of new ones. Really, they must think that most of us are blithering idiots to believe that this is anything more than an election ploy.

Mitch McConnell gets hit for being a RINO, but he consistently supports Ky coal, oil and gas businesses. To reward him, the state's biggest newspapers, the Lex and Lou super-liberals, mercilessly label Mitch a corrupt anti-science caveman.

Feel free to counter their arguments and protestations in the way you all do so well. All I can say is, using two hyphens throughout the email when one simple em dash would do, is not only gauche typographically, but a waste of good resources! For shame! 
Dear ______
Just hours ago, President Obama asked EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to withdraw the proposed new national ozone standards, delaying until at least 2013 a safeguard that would protect our families from dangerous smog pollution.
I am appalled -- this delay will literally cost lives.
Send a message to the Obama Administration. Tell them to protect our health and stand up against air pollution!
This issue couldn't be more urgent: Half of U.S. families live in communities where the air is literally unsafe to breathe -- and President Obama is looking the other way.
A new standard for smog would prevent up to 12,000 premature deaths, 5,300 heart attacks and tens of thousands of asthma attacks and other serious respiratory illnesses each year -- yet the President has simply kicked the can down the road.
The White House's decision is shocking and disappointing to all of us who value breathing clean air. Let the President know that we urge him to stand strong against Big Oil and Coal companies and to protect our communities from pollution.
Despite a year of intense grassroots pressure by Sierra Club volunteers and our allies, President Obama has caved to corporate special interests who put profit above all else, including the health of our families.
Tell the President that a healthy economy requires clean air and healthy people. These protections from smog would have improved our communities and saved billions of dollars in health costs. Letting the polluters off the hook won't save lives, won't create jobs and won't fuel innovation. It will just keep thousands of people sick and kill others prematurely from the pollution in our air.
Contact the White House and tell President Obama that cleaner air is not something we can afford to delay any further.
Thank you for all you do for our environment.
Sincerely,
Sarah Hodgdon
Sierra Club, Conservation Director
P.S. -- We need to send a clear message to President Obama- please forward this message to your friends and family or use share this alert on your social networks! Posted by: LizLem at September 02, 2011 02:04 PM (lSuMX)
This is a big move by Obama. I am surprised. The Sierra Club is screaming about how many children and seniors will die without these new regulations, but WTF, I've been breathing all day in Atlanta and the air is fine.
Do we really need more environmental regulations? Do we really need 60 mpg econo-cars that are patently unsafe? Do we really need to shut down an oil pipeline to protect a thriving dung beetle population?
We need to get this economy turned around ASAP so we can have a running start when we take over in January 2013. That's when the Sierra Club will really start screaming.
