More BS

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s new fuel and emission standards for cars and trucks will save billions of barrels of oil but are expected to cost consumers an extra $1,300 per vehicle by the time the plan is complete in 2016.

Green groups applauded the administration announcement as a significant step toward addressing global warming and achieving energy independence. The Union of Concerned Scientists said it expects the plan to slash the U.S.'s dependence on oil by about 1.4 million barrels a day by 2020, almost as much as daily imports from Saudi Arabia.

Kliphnotes:
What a crock of S***!
If they wanted "energy independence" they would be drilling for oil here. No clean Coal.
No new Nuclear power plants.
No oil from sands/ shale.
No off shore/Outer Continental Shelf drilling.

No, the Green people don't want that.
They are the party of "NO" when it comes to oil.

They don't want you driving your SUV's and pickups.
They want you driving Mini Death Trap Cars.
They want the government telling you what to drive.
The next step will be a gas tax increase.
They will say gas is too cheap. Mark my word.

Anything they can tax they will.
Remember they have to pay for all of Obama's
social programs some way.
And taxing EVERYONE is the only way to pay for his programs.

Now Congress is moving to limit the penalties on riskier borrowers, who have become a prime source of billions of dollars in fee revenue for the industry. And to make up for lost income, the card companies are going after those people with sterling credit.

Banks are expected to look at reviving annual fees, curtailing cash-back and other rewards programs and charging interest immediately on a purchase instead of allowing a grace period of weeks, according to bank officials and trade groups…

Isn't Socialism great? NOT!

Obama was wrong about the surge.
And his choice of a Vice President was not too stellar either.
Is there a worse VP, ........ EVER?
