AFP Agence Francais Presse, carried a story about the portland appearance yesterday. They provided a few Quotes from Obama, the one that got me was this one:
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen." Barack Hussein Obama
The reason they carried it is because they are a European news agency and they think this statement is wonderful.
I laugh when I hear how the union folks love this guy, becuse if he gets elected on promises of keeping American manufacturing strong those union guys are in for a rude awakening.
From Obama's webpage on the environment:
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/
Cap and Trade: Obama supports implementation of a market-based cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary: 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Obama's cap-and-trade system will require all pollution credits to be auctioned. A 100 percent auction ensures that all polluters pay for every ton of emissions they release, rather than giving these emission rights away to coal and oil companies. Some of the revenue generated by auctioning allowances will be used to support the development of clean energy, to invest in energy efficiency improvements, and to address transition costs, including helping American workers affected by this economic transition.
You just can’t make this stuff up. From Goldman Sachs webpage:

Trading and Capital Markets
Goldman Sachs is active in the markets for carbon emissions, SOx, Renewable Energy Credits and weather derivatives, among other climate related commodities. Additionally, we have created new financial products to help our clients manage the risks posed by climate change.In September 2006, we made a minority equity investment in Climate Exchange PLC, which owns several European and US trading platforms that facilitate trading in environmental financial instruments: the European Climate Exchange (ECX), the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the newly created California Climate Exchange (CaCX).
I couldnt for the life of me figure out why Goldman Sachs employees were Obamies top source for contributions, until I read this manure above. The exchanges are to facilitate trading of carbon credits and give Sachs a way to siphon 10 cents off of every dollar in your pocket.
Questions??
