LIBERALS, now that Warren Buffett DISAGREE with Obama?
-
8-9 months ago Liberals were telling all of us that Warren Buffett, one of the richest man in the world, support Obama & we should listen to him...... Here are some examples: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArtoRZy_6JL4JQFenymWdpUjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20081008071547AAPbiUO http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqcB44XRbjKOeBupDsFF1hwjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20081021092555AAoL0Et http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlrZM9vRhkq7Pz0m4EjuovgjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20080923120637AAQ8YgO Now that Warren Buffett (Big Obama supporter) led the charge in an interview on CNBC where he stated that this Job-Killing “CRAP-and-trade” bill, is nothing more than a giant energy tax on the middle class. It is “a huge tax and there’s no sense calling it anything else.” Buffett also stated that the U.S. economy is in "shambles," with no signs of a recovery anytime soon. adding, "Everything that I see about the economy is that we've had no bounce. The financial system was really where the crisis was last September and October, and that's been surmounted and that's enormously important. http://www.cnbc.com/id/31526815/ So my question is: LIBERALS, now that Warren Buffett DISAGREE with Obama about how this economy is being handled, SHOULD WE STILL LISTEN TO HIM, or is he now just as "" BAD"" as Rush?

Answer:
The important issues are how anti-American Obama turns out to be and how much of a fool he is. That he is self-serving, in love with the idea of government, and without scruples should never be in doubt. Limiting CO2 emissions is a false threat. It is a trace gas, and a gas vital to almost everything on this earth. The warming brought on by increased solar activity has waned. This is a mass delusion, a fear perpetrated by people who seek only power, and abetted by fools. Cap and Trade will accomplish nothing other than the decline of the American economy. Energy intensive businesses will become more expensive and will decline in the US while they grow in other countries. Take concrete for instance. It's vital to build roads, bridges, airports, and buildings. To cook it up takes a lot of fuel. Plants will close in the US and open in other countries. The same amount of CO2 will be pushed into the air, plus a little extra from the ships who will bring concrete to the US. It will be the same with steel. But the real grab here is power. The cities that need concrete for their roads, the steel makers, the energy companies will now have to buy exemptions from the government by bribing Congress. This is how protection rackets work, manufacture a threat, and then sell its disposal. If Obama is anti-American, which I suspect, and not a fool, which I also suspect he will try to block this and in this way weaken the country. If he is pro-Ameican and a fool he will try to block it. Otherwise he will accept bribes of some sort for this accommodation. Cap and Trade has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with a grab for wealth and power. It is our wealth and our power that will be taken from us, the power companies the agents, and the politicians the beneficiaries. Those of us who understand this are still damned to live the mistakes of the other fools who think this is a real solution. Life is tragic that way.

Warren Buffet will now be disowned by the liberal media and most likely crucified by them as well, for going against Obama...

Liberals are delusional and self-serving opprotunists, they will support anything Obama's asks of them if there are hand-outs attached to his policies (and there is in this case). No matter how destructive his policies may be. They will turn on Warren Buffett, as they do all those who disagree with Obama. Buffett will be thrown under the bus.
Infernal Disaster
I read the article and he didn't disagree with how Obama is handling it. The economy is a shambles, residue of the Bush Administration. "The financial system was really where the crisis was last September and October, and that's been surmounted and that's enormously important. But in terms of the economy coming back, it takes a while." Who else said it would take awhile? Oh yeah! Obama did! BUFFETT: "No, I don't think the urgency has come away. The urgency has moved away from a total meltdown of the financial sector which we faced last fall. I've never seen anything like that. But I would give enormous credit to the people there. (Federal Reserve Chairman) Bernanke did a fabulous job. We were right at the point where people lost faith in money-market funds, when commercial paper stopped being issued. People would be having a problem meeting their payroll, very big companies, if that hadn't gotten addressed very quickly. And I give credit to people for doing that. So that part, we've moved past that particular period. We haven't got the economy going again." Note: "The urgency has moved away from a total meltdown of the financial sector which we faced last fall."

He is just breaking the news to us gently that cap and trade is a money grab. More than likely set up by obama`s people so they can`t say they did not tell us so.
It is too late to debate whether or not this legislation should be passed at this time, it should have been passed 20 years ago. Now the dems control both branches so it's time to pass the legislation now rather than risk losing the majority and having to wait another 5-10 years to get it through. American technology companies need to understand that this is the future and not hold off on developing new technology like the US auto industry has.

"BECKY: You know, cap and trade is something we talked about when we spoke with you back in May as well. And you raised some of the issues and concerns you have about cap and trade. It does look like it is still on the agenda for right now. So is health care. Does it concern you to see Washington, Congress and the administration, moving on some of these big initiatives while you're still concerned about the economy? BUFFETT: Well, I think if they're important issues and they get well thought out solutions. It is important that we move on carbon emissions. It's important we move on health care. But I don't think they should be jammed through in a hurry. But those are issues that should be addressed by America. But I do think the economy is number one. BECKY: You said you didn't like cap and trade especially in this economy though, because it puts a tax on people. BUFFETT: I think if you get into the way it was written, it's a huge tax and there's no sense calling it anything else. I mean, it is a tax. And it's a fairly regressive tax. If we buy permits, essentially, at our utilities, that goes right into the bills of the utility customers and an awful lot of people in Iowa, in Oregon, and Utah, and places where we are, very poor people are going to pay a lot more money for electricity. So I think that can be improved". He says "It is important that we move on carbon emissions", and he's right. John McCain agrees with him, as do 97% of climatologists. *** "But I don't think they should be jammed through in a hurry". We needed to start reducing CO2 emissions many years ago. Pay a little now, or a LOT later.
