..Obama halts controversial EPA regulation
AP – 16 mins ago..
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-halts-controversial-epa-regulation-143731156.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is directing his administration to withdraw a controversial proposed regulation updating government smog standards.
The withdrawal comes two days after the White House identified seven proposed regulations that would cost the economy at least $1 billion each. The proposed updated smog standard was estimated to cost anywhere between $19 billion and $90 billion, depending on how strict the standard would be.
In a statement, Obama says he made his decision in part because it is important to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses as the economy recovers. He says he is still committed to protecting public health and the environment.

i'm sure once Obama reads your opinion of him, he'll immediately revoke Obamacare and send that money to the CEOs are Paul Ryan so politely requested.

This is all so unnecessary. We could improve the situation tommorow:
1. Repeal Dodd Frank
2. Repeal Obamacare
3. Tell EPA to fuck off with the carbon rules
4. Re-open drilling in the gulf
5. Agree to the canadian pipeline
6. Disband the NLRB
7. Bring the wars to an end and use some of the $$$ to build up border fence and wall and put soldiers on the border
8. Amnesty for money held abroad
9. Tort reform as well as class action reform

120 is blind to this fact. He just focuses on you not giving the Pres any credit for this decision. Why should you? The correct response to the president should be: About time!!

Obama Asks EPA to Withdraw Ozone Standards

.President Barack Obama said he’s directed the Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw proposed rules to limit ozone emissions that lead to smog.
The draft rules have been faulted by Republicans and business leaders who contended the regulations would be too costly to implement. Obama said in a statement he is seeking to reduce regulatory burdens as the economy recovers.
“Ultimately, I did not support asking state and local governments to begin implementing a new standard that will soon be reconsidered,” Obama said today in a statement. The rules will come up for a regular review in 2013, he said.
The EPA’s proposed regulations for ground-level ozone, a main ingredient of smog, would have tightened those issued during President George W. Bush’s administration in 2008. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson had said that those rules wouldn’t stand up to legal scrutiny. The EPA’s proposal would have cost the economy $19 billion to $90 billion, making it the most expensive new regulation under consideration by the Obama administration, according to the White House.
“The Obama administration is caving to big polluters at the expense of protecting the air we breathe,” Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, an environmental group, said today in an e-mailed statement. “This is a huge win for corporate polluters and a huge loss for public health.”
Business group representatives had met Aug. 16 with White House Chief of State William Daley to push their case for scrapping the ozone changes. They said the costs would be much greater than the administration estimated.
“Environmental concerns are legitimate, but sometimes the cost these policies impose is very significant,” said Phil Levy, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington and an economist in the Bush administration. “To the extent he’s moving to balancing them more carefully, that should be applauded.”

The problem is that Obama is now in a box.
The GOP base is extremely energized.
The Dem base is demoralized and so are the indes. Problem for bama is that no matter what he does to placate indes will have opposite effect on the base voter.
He painted himself into a corner and has nowhere to go.

He's hoping some jobs pick up for his ratings overall before the election. If things stay like this, his own party will force him not to run.
I have been fucking telling you for THREE YEARS now that his agenda has scared the living day lights out of business to the point where they refuse to hire.
You have disagreed with me all along the way despite much evidence being shown to you. Now, it appears even obama seems to be forced into accepting the reality of what many of us have been saying.

so you're now alleging that this will create jobs and that will compensate for pissing off his base
I"ll ignore the part about his party "forcing" not to run as I don't have time for that nonsense this morning
so you're saying we'll soon see an improvement in the job market that will be directly attributable to this move?
Once he is re-elected do you see him reversing this decision and go full steam ahead with the "collapse the nation" strategy?

I still want to know how this fits into Obama's true agenda which is to collapse the nation
I assume once he gets elected to the 2nd term he has no reason to be coy about this kind of thing and it can be full steam ahead with the "collapse" plan

this one statistician has correctly predicted every race in 30 years... based upon 13 keys.
he said the economy is just two of them. The lack of scandal, consistency, OBL, etc... He says obama will in again.
This isn't some dickhead on a message board. This guy doesn't get things wrong, and he is very sure on this one.

Glad to see your making an impact 33.

More pandering from a loser that will do anything to save face. He knows the environazis won't abandon him regardless of what he does so he makes a move like this to placate the center. Too bad it won't do jack shit.
Good start. Repeal the thousands of other regulations this administration has foisted upon this country and then we'll talk.
-
Guys-- hate to break it you, all he is doing is halting this disaster until after the election. If this piece of garbage gets a second term, you better believe him and his Environmental terrorist buddies will run wild.
Implementing something of this magnitude would put the United States into breadline depression mode. Even Obama isn't stupid enough to risk the political fallout before the election.

Robert Redford disappointed in Obama
(Photo Credit: Reuters)
Though many stars have already signed on to support Obama’s re-election, not everyone in Hollywood is happy with the president. The latest disillusioned celeb: Robert Redford.
The actor has penned a column in the Huffington Post questioning Obama's dedication to environmental causes.
“One reason I supported President Obama is because he said we must protect clean air, water and lands. But what good is it to say the right thing unless you act on it?” Redford writes. “Since early August, three administration decisions -- on Arctic drilling, the Keystone XL pipeline and the ozone that causes smog -- have all favored dirty industry over public health and a clean environment. Like so many others, I'm beginning to wonder just where the man stands.”

Barbara Boxer: I hope greens sue President Obama
By: Darren Goode September 7, 2011 09:01 AM EDT
Senate Environment and Public Works Chairwoman Barbara Boxer said she hopes green groups sue President Barack Obama over his decision to punt a regulation curbing smog-creating emissions until at least 2013.
Boxer — whose relatively mild reaction to Obama’s surprise announcement Friday was in contrast to heated rebukes by environmental groups — said she will stand by those groups in any litigation to force the administration to issue a final ozone rule that goes beyond what was enacted by President George W. Bush.
Environmental groups charged that Obama made a political calculus by punting on a rule that was a particular target of critics who charge his regulatory agenda has hurt the economy and jobs.
Boxer didn’t quite go there. “I’m not making any charge. I’m just saying I disagree, strongly, with their decision,” she told reporters Tuesday. She added, “And I hope they’ll be sued in court and I hope the court can stand by the Clean Air Act.”
Noting that every president regardless of political party has been sued by environmental groups, Boxer said, “And I’m on the side of the environmentalists. If you factor in the health benefits you save so many lives and you prevent so many hospital admissions that it’s a big plus for the economy.”
Boxer issued a statement Friday saying she was “disappointed” in the decision but also “heartened” by Obama’s pledge in his announcement to safeguard the EPA and more specifically the Clean Air Act.
