Jack Welch blasts President Obama, Barney Frank - BostonHerald.com
“I desperately want more thought so we don’t throw out some of the great things we have in this country,” Welch said to more than 1,000 bankers who watched the 73-year-old via video hookup. “Right now, Barney Frank has the floor. He can send us down paths that might be bad for us. That’s frightening. I hope the elections in those two states will slow the speed at which we are attacking climate change, financial regulations and health care. We can’t just pile up deficits and restructure the entire economy in 12-18 months. It’s not doable. It’s insane.”
BOXER VIOLATES COMMITTEE RULES,  REJECTS CLEAR PATH FORWARD
[Inhofe] I am deeply disappointed by Chairman Boxer's decision to violate the rules and longstanding precedent of the committee. The Republicans offered a clear path forward to a bipartisan markup, but it was summarily rejected by Chairman Boxer. Instead, she decided to ignore the entreaties of all 6 ranking members from Senate committees with some share of jurisdiction over climate change legislation, as well as leading moderates in the Senate. Her action signals the death knell for the Kerry Boxer bill.
American Thinker Blog: Boxer Goes Nuclear on Climate Bill
This is about a ticking alarm clock.

The number of Americans now buying into the politically-tainted junk science on which this bill is based has dropped from 47% to 36% in the past year alone. And that waning number will make it increasingly difficult to pass what amounts to an enormous and needless exercise in national (and finally international) wealth destruction and redistribution. Particularly if the voting spills over to next year – an election year.

Boxer Rebellion: Senate Panel Approves Climate Bill Without GOP - Environmental Capital - WSJ
One interesting thing: Climate change and global warming does seem to be slipping down the list of Democratic talking points. Sen. Boxer said the bill “addresses a crucial issue of our time.”

What would that be? Turns out there’s several—but saving the planet from climate catastrophe isn’t one of them. The bill will “move us away from foreign oil imports that cost Americans one billion dollars a day, it will protect our children from pollution, create millions of clean energy jobs, and stimulate billions of dollars of private investment,” Sen. Boxer said.

Perhaps Boxer is rushing because she is heavily invested in carbon credits and will make a fortune if the bill passes.
