#3 Why does President Obama hate the poor? If he can push this through -- via executive orders and regulations, one assumes -- the poor will be cold in the dark this winter, unable to pay their energy bills.

#4 Amazing that the Chinese Foreign Minister was able to keep a straight face thru it all. Good Show!

#5 WTF? Has the Donk Party cornered the market on stupidity? Will the race to the bottom ever cease with these yahoos? It is a race between dumping them out of government before they destroy what's left of the country.

#6 The Green Weenies are touting the fact that China has decreased it's use and mining of coal by 2.9%, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. They convent lyrics ignore the 5.9% increase in oil usage and the 4% increase in natural gas usage.

#7 TW, the poor will get 'free stuff' like free utilities and the rich will, of course be able to afford it, it's the middle class that's the intentional target of forced price increases to destroy their means of advancement and desperately trying to avoid from sliding into the 'lower' class.

#8 A silver linings this a.m. is that Kerry didn't become POTUS back in 2004. Thanks you Swift Boat operators.

#9 One article claims the Chinese decreased their coal imports 38%, their coal mining 6 (coal provided 66% of their primary energy supply) and increased their natural gas consumption 7% and oil consumption 4%, in just the past year. I don't believe it is possible for those numbers to be correct unless their total economic output has collapsed.

#10 Obama is merely obeying the wishes of his Mandarin masters. Surely they are very pleased with him. They get the industry. Their people get the jobs. They pollute worse than we ever did and the wind blows the pollution across the Pacific Ocean toward us, dropping mercury into the water as it goes. We get the shaft. And if they claim to be reducing their emissions remember who they are, remember who Kerry and Obama are, and how many times they've lied before. This is all by design.
