Obama: Yes to 2011 climate bill push
President Barack Obama is pledging to throw his full weight next year behind efforts to overhaul the nation's energy and climate change policies, though he concedes such moves might need to happen "in chunks."
In an interview published Tuesday by Rolling Stone magazine, Obama lamented how the economic crisis contributed to this year's Senate stalemate over a comprehensive bill to cap carbon dioxide emissions and establish renewable power standards.
"One of my top priorities next year is to have an energy policy that begins to address all facets of our overreliance on fossil fuels," Obama said. "We may end up having to do it in chunks, as opposed to some sort of comprehensive omnibus legislation. But we're going to stay on this because it is good for our economy, it's good for our national security and, ultimately, it's good for our environment.

Now THIS is funny as hell! I bet there is a slew of Democrats just cussing Obama out under their breathe over this. Just before election Obama gives the voters ANOTHER REASON not to vote Democrat?
Obama either has to KNOW the voters do not want cap and tax, or he is even MORE tone deaf than Jimmah Carter.
At the same time, get an insight into how liberals work. Obama knows he might not be able to get all of his agena at once. So, he will pass it "in chunks."
This is how liberals work. When they know something is unpopular, they pass it "little by little." So you don't notice as much what they are trying to do, until it is too late.
Only problem is, everyone knows what Obama wants to do. We have seen the results to the economy (In Europe) from similar legislation.
At a time when the economy is REELING from Obama's disastrous policies to promise this, and before an election.
He's either stupid as hell, or he is deliberately trying to make sure Democrats lose.
