Carol Browner hasn't read the highly contested climate bill

[ruddip]

in other words.....NO

[rickenbacker4001v63]

She's a Scumbagger!

[IdiotsForObamaCom]

seen this on IDIOTS4OBAMA COM what a dirtbag she is.

[ClimateAware]

Check out youtube eco-video The Book of New Creation...

[danchad79]

search 'climate chains' on youtube.

It is a compelling view on Obama's 'energy' plan

[PutUSA1st]

THEY ARE ALL COMMUNISTS.. .THEY ARE NOW BEING REVEALED. ALL INTELLECTUAL EFFETE SNOBS WHO TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THEIR INTELLECT AND HATE AMERICA/ PATRIOTISM. OF COURSE THEY"VE USED OUR FREEDOM TO GET WHERE THEY ARE>>>BUT NOW THEY THINK THEY KNOW BETTER AND WANT THEIR ONE WORLD...they can have it...it's called. HELL

[idlefritz]

Yeah! Burn the books! Hang the poets and scholars!!! wait... sounds like you're a commie sympathizer. Lemme see your birth certificate, mister.

[hellotommy]

Carol M. Browner, Obama's global warming czar, was one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Socialist International Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change. If you try to find the info on her you will have to look hard, the info has been scrubbed from the internet. Even Wikipedia censored their information. Let's ask ourselves, why does a Socialist have the ear of President O???

[danchad79]

Also check out.search 'climate chains' on youtube.

It is a compelling view of cap and trade.

[politiconned]

1st She tries to avoid the question, then she says she read major portions, then vast portions. She could have saved a lot of oxygen and remitted a lot less carbon dioxide, just by saying NO.

[craigdwlr]

"I've read vast portions of it" translation-

I've read all except the one little part that says we're signing away all of our liberties, but thats not that big of a deal, after all its not our money we're spending its yours!!

these people make me sick...

[timDOGcrane555]

And the oligarchs are taking over. Don't we pay these fucking retards to read the bills!

[modifiedcontent]

Obama's new science czar John Holdren 1977: "... One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings ... "

[RonaldthePatriot]

The days of forcing bills through congress and the senate, without giving enough time for them to be read, must come to an end. People need to understand, if your congressman/woman or senator is voting on bills they havn't read, how do they know the're not voting in draconian laws. They should be allowed 5 days to read it and deliberate with colegues, and any unread "last minute attachments" should be concidered null and void.

[salinagrrrl69]

The days of hiring closet communists has to come to an end. I didn't live in the days of the 'Red Scare' but this is thee other side of that dark time. These czars are about taking this nation on a fast track to a world our founders would have found unbelievable.

Fascism, communism, totalitarianism, was beaten by my family & other American families w/ blood & sacrice for peoples they never meet. Now all they died & bled for stolen by a gang of grifters w/ a happy face & a word 'HOPE'? NEVER!!!

[SAOProductions1955]

And this is the same lady that told the Auto Execs not to leave any documentation about how they arrived at the new CAFE' standards. How's that change working for you now all you Obama kool-aid drinkers. The most open and transparent administration to be put into power my arse!

[joskemom]

Cap and tax will be the tool the govt will use to put a fnger in every aspect of our lives. The Obamnation will make America look more like the nation in Orwell's 1984 novel.

[888American]

She didnt read it..cause she doesnt care..she just knows that its going to destroy our way of life as we know it and she is an advocate of the New World Order..aka..One world Government...She is a member of Socialist International

[DontBeObamaZombies]

This is going to cause States to secede, its that serious.

Especially states like Texas and Oklahoma, who's economies depend on energy and agriculture.

[idlefritz]

While I agree that she should be intimately familiar with the contents, she didn't write it and it certainly wasn't the original design of even Waxman-Markey. The bill is a compromise, so much so that most environmentalists are unhappy with how easily the carbon trading can me gamed by traders on wall st. I think you would find it difficult finding any pro-bill dems or anti-bill conservatives that have read the bill in it's entirety.

[idlefritz]

You will definitely find a legion of lawyers and hedge fund managers that could recite it verbatim, though, as they are interested in working around and within legislation for profit. We see the same with Bush's TARP payout and already with Obama's credit reform. An energy czar, like most of the other czars (and presidents), serve more as a face/target for policy that they have very little power to direct.

[idlefritz]

While we bicker about conservatives, liberals and libertarians, private interests are studying legislation and greasing palms. Not so much a conspiracy as power we ceded long ago in favor of personal conveniences and lack of individual responsibility. It's much easier to blame Obama or Cheney than it is to hold ourselves accountable.

[pherronii]

beg your pardon, but how are the citizen to be held accountable for this? Our contribution is the ballot box. The leaders we elect are suposed to represent our interests. I voted for Obama change, because he promised to get us out of iraq, end extrodinary rendition, repeal the patriot act, and persue war criminals. So now I am responsible for all of these things, because the man I voted for lied to america. what would you suggest as taking personal responsibility, hanging them individually?

[idlefritz]

Obama never said he would do any of those, unfortunately. I believe Nader is more in line with what you refer to. The president represents all of us, not just those who voted for him and especially not the most progressive minority that backed him. That said, he has been a big factor in preventing an economic collapse. We are a people weaned on quick fixes. No administration could ever please a majority of Americans and still honor the painfully slow rule of law. Give him at least 1 term.

[baldrad]

Browner has never done anything productive. She has always been a nature cultist, with a chip on her shoulder for private enterprise. 92% of Obama's cabinet and czars have never worked in the private sector. The majority are avowed or closet Marxists. A large number of Democrats are now surprised that the party has been hijacked by radicals living in a 60's haze. They (the surprised Dems) have simply not been paying attention.

[idlefritz]

Pay attention and you'll realize that the progressive democrats are mad because this administration is not in the slightest bit radical. If you tea party nutjobs are doing anything, you're portraying this administration as being much more heroic than it is. Good job working for the Obama public relations team.

[btwall60]

@baldrad

Here we are a year later, Bernanke is going to start to PRINT MONEY, when inflation hits, no speech by the ONE is going to be able to stop it. :(

[hellotommy]

@baldrad amazing comment. A year later, it's no surprise to me.

[envanje]

There will not be any change when all promotors are considered to have read all reports about a subject. They'll just stuck on reading. I don't believe any president or governor of any country did so during whole history. It would be an unwise thing to do.

Fox news still sticks to false arguments !

[joskemom]

To get the cap and trade bill passed in the house the WH had to pay and trade favors to the holdouts.Democrate Rep Marcy Kaptor of Ohio was promised 3.5 billion in tax payer money to be made available for use in projects in her state. She did not vote based on what she thought was best for the country, her ass was bought like a whore.

[joskemom]

She did not read the bill because she dont give a damn what is in the bill. Her job is to promote the crap not study it. This cap and tax bill is nothng more than the infrastructure to control the lives of all Ameicans. Pres O is the pitchman for the progressive socialistic movement. Welcome to the USSA. This bill would change America into a wimpy ass european style 2nd tier nation unless we kick out anitcapatlist out of office in 2010 and kick out Big Bro in 2012.

[capitolguy106]

She didn't read the bill, just like Democrats didn't read the stimulus bill before they voted for it. No big deal when your spending the taxpayer's money. Steve Doocey tripped her up and then SHE had the nerve to get pissy about it? What a whore.

[thejollylamas]

People in these types of positions should be held to more scruitiny. She DID NOT read the Cap and Trade POS yet she's trying to shove it down our throats. she's lying on national TV to the American people... It's criminal.. You're FIRED!!

[dodgerdynasty1988]

Like that guy has read 1000 pages combined in his life...

[Omnious24]

Since inauguration Obama and the Dems congress have been deconstructing the country at a frantic pace

[historico69]

Please explain in detail or do not reply.

PS the BILL OF RIGHTS were all CHANGEs to the Constitution.. or i guess rush, sean and mark don't mention that so often huh?

[HammockTimeNow]

More like warp speed...all with no foresight to the long-term effects on the economy and US lifestyle.Tax-n-spend is all they think about

[historico69]

Oh, the era of political "GOTCHA'S" the republicans complained so much about have mysteriously transformed into the faceless Fox News trying to go viral with attacking a respectable American leader. Shame on these hacks and their agenda, true American blood sees right though this shit...

your ratings will show it eventually. =]

[toneo2001]

Rating will show it eventually? These people are simply asking the questions that "American blooded" people like me want to know! I and so many others watch precisely for this reason!!!

[historico69]

Sensationalism is a helluva drug huh?

Climate change legislation is NOT a new issue. Having a news agency vilify progressive representatives is very very scary. 

Mark my word as a TRUE TAX PAYING AMERICAN, history's favor is not on your side.

[GreatWhiteMale]

"Having a news agency vilify progressive representatives is very very scary."

There's nothing to villify when you're reporting the truth. What's fascinating is that you idiots have the audacity to attach the word "progressive" to your backward cause.

[toneo2001]

If your a "TRUE TAX PAYING AMERICAN" then you are certainly not "progressive" by wanting more taxes....

[robm425]

please explain then why Fox's ratings are only going up?

[maggutts]

"That's absolutely not fair" because they didn't have time to read it. They added 300 extra pages at 3:00 a.m. on the day that it was pushed through the house.  Well people, be prepared to fork over your hard earned money for this "crap and tax" bill that they glanced at. Unbelievable.

[IhateGary]

Obama administration is like the Front office management of the Cleveland Indians.

[pmesser1]

These pieces of shit-- like the liar obama, steal our money, don't pay their taxes, and are the most pathetic excuse of a human being that ever existed. Obama will make the loser Carter look like a great hero. What a fuck up obama is!

[IhateGary]

What a train wreck this administration is. Keeping track of all the Obamanations would be a more daunting task than reading this 1300 page bill.

[john176900]

The gop complains about all most every bill the reason is the can't read neither did gov bush so it may be hard for members of gop in and few dims congress to adjust to material presented for review when longer them 2 line

[brian38383838]

What the hell did you just write? lol Were those actual sentences? Not only are you an illiterate POS, but you are a fucking idiot to boot!

[Dewdaahman]

did you read it, "it" being the bill, I deduce the answer is NO.. reading parts of it is reading parts of it.. reading it is reading from the first page to last.. she did not read the bill.. next..? next time gimme an easier one.. that one took alot out of me..

[allamericanboys2001]

I'm glad they are asking this question, but Fox and Freinds didn't ask this question when the Patriot act was going through.......funny how they care so much now.

[GOPisTheHypocrisy]

Is that a "Gotchya" question from the Corporate Media?

[zzx2847]

WTF?!

[bughead152]

We have become a nation of idiots that elect idiots that pass massive legislation packages that no one reads, that no one is expected to read and if anyone asks about reading it ...well you're just nit-picking or part of evil Fox news.

Who is writing this legislation?

[idlefritz]

The only thing those derps at Fox have read are the teleprompters and People magazine covers, but they seem to be doing just peachy, right? Carol Browner (not Carl, original smug poster) could run circles around them in any substantial conversation so they revert to goofball attacks from the comfort of their failure couch.

[News4usall]

Well, she had the opportunity and here's how she acted...

[ToddonCapeCod]

WTF are you talking about?!?!?!

They asked her if she read the damn legislation. This isn't a question about teleprompters, you imbecile!

If Carol Browner could "run circles" around them, then why didn't she??  She's the freaking Energy Czarina! Its part of her JOB to know this legislation. And she admits she's only read PARTS of it! They exposed her for the dolt she is, just like I did to you, but you're too much of an idiot to get it!!!!

[brian38383838]

ToddonCapeCod: You responded in the exact way that I was about too. I think liberalism is actually eating away at their brains, it is scary watching them put their party before integrity.

[idlefritz]

All you exposed, Todd, is that you enjoy screaming in CAPS and using exclamation marks. They lobbed a rhetorical question in at the end of a fluff interview. Nobody on that couch cared for a specific issue, only whether she read the entire document. That's like bagging on a christian who hasn't read the entire bible or isn't able to recite every verse... That Fox show is a Regis+Kathy Lee style entertainment show that is in no position to offer any substantial discussion and it shows.

[brian38383838]

Your analogous comparison is really bad, its NOTHING like "bagging on a christian" for not reading the entire bible.

I know you don't like caps, so allow me to use them. See, she gets PAID to oversee the climate and the energy industry. That is HER JOB, meaning she SHOULD read the entire bill before it is passed. 

That Regis and Kelly (not Kathy Lee) show is more critical than MSNBC and CNN combined, it really is sad.

[idlefritz]

Would you ask the head of homeland security if they had read their procedural manual? Have you thoroughly read and understood your employee handbook or insurance policy? The point is an ability to access, understand and apply information. You probably know that, but would rather pretend that you have all the answers. I'm not a huge fan of Carol Browner, but in this day of political scandal I have to give her points for answering honestly. They knew she would and that's why they asked.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Idiot

Its her job to know the document. Or step down.

[idlefritz]

...and your job requires you to know the Chick-fil-A mission and values, but you don't see me challenging your work ethic. I'm willing to trust that you can bread and fry with the best of them based on your sunny disposition alone.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Heh heh heh

You're so funny when I've gotten the BEST of you, Fritz.

Keep running around, in denial, that's all right.

Glug glug glug, goes the Kool Aid. Don't hold anyone accountable for their job, in this administration: You're Obama's wet dream: completely naive, completely willing to do whatever they ask, believe whatever they tell you. You kind of remind me of Kevin Bacon, in "Animal House:" "Thank you, sir! May I please have another!!!"

[idlefritz]

Oh! This is where all the Hannity and Beck aficionados come to ply their trade. Kool aid, messiah, socialist, higher taxes... blah. This new version of patriot conservative is the lamest yet. Go brush up on your Buckley at least. What exactly concerns you about this bill? I assume you've all read it since you feel so strongly about it. Wikipedia and Fox News can give you the highlights at least. I'll wait here while you hastily form an argument.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Simple deflection

Predictable

Which Buckley do you suggest I read up on? William F or his son, who did vote for Obama, but now regrets it as one of the worst mistakes of his life, hmmm?

Browner cant' do her job; neither can you do yours, as one of the messiah's defenders.

Pathetic to the core

[capitolguy106]

Really? Most of the on-air talent at Fox hold graduate degrees or law degrees or both. As for Browner, she didn't do so well in this segment against Doocey, now did she? Dumb broad couldn't even answer the question let alone read the document.

[idlefritz]

The "dumb broad" only said she didn't read the entire document. If she failed, it was in respecting her audience by telling the truth rather than pandering. No one person needs to read those documents. There are multiple parties that draft these tomes and guidelines to assure that the core principles are met. Had she realized total novices would be picking apart her interview she probably would have just nodded yes. What is your concern, btw?

[wolfgangfaust]

the sold out cretins forced members of congress to vote on cap and trade without even seeing the actual bill being voted on. the official copy distributed does not include 300 pages of amendments.

THEY ARE STEAMROLLING THIS BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP DAILY TO GOVERNMENTAL CORRUPTION, LIES AND THEFT

[wolfgangfaust]

most members of the senate have channels on youtube

YOU VOTE FOR CAP AND TRADE

The party of Torture

The party of Racism

The party of Economic Collapse

[MEpianist]

Do you really want your Congressman personally reading every bill?

[News4usall]

Of course. What a silly question.

[MEpianist]

What % of their business hours should be dedicated to reading them?

[News4usall]

89.93 %

How silly.

[MEpianist]

You obviously have no idea how your government works.

[News4usall]

And for some strange reason you are defending one that clearly doesn't

[MEpianist]

And for some bad one you are wasting your time

[capitolguy106]

As a matter of fact, yes, I do. That is why I sent him to Washington.

[WWJCashD]

The question really is ..Have any of these fox F#@ks read it?. the answer is none, because the only point of the question is to make the person holding the opposing view look bad. Its bull shit, and any one thinking that this is a valid question does not know how the system works, there are aids/assistants puoring over 100's of bills that go through congress, i'm sure there aren't any senators that read all of any one particular bill. Just another example of bull shit fox reporting.

[freedomanddemocracy]

Furthermore ... how long the US wants to remain in the Middle Age with energy, health care, education, etc.?

[freedomanddemocracy]

She read what whe had to read. Republicans don't read at all they just vote NO and they present budgets without figures ..... go figure

[sunsinger357]

The original bill that set up our country's entire highway system wa only28 pages long! I think politicians intentionally make these bills complex so that they can hide their true agenda from the people (and add a ton of pork)!

[News4usall]

Lady this isn't dodging a paper assignment by grabbing the cliff notes...

These people are embarassing. And if the ENERGY czar hasn't read it all - then what the??????

[Username2322]

have you ever attempted to read one of these bills? its a mess. what she said is she read the important points, but didnt want to get called on for not knowing about X pork project thrown in at the last second

[News4usall]

And that's my whole point.  If they wouldn't rush these things, read the whole bill, quit porking at the last minute, etc we'd be in much better shape.

Imagine this - Your boss at your job ask's you for your input about a project YOU helped design and you respond "Well I understand MOST of it, but would rather not go into detail..."

You'd be out that day...

[Username2322]

yes, I agree completely. The entire congressional process is a disaster. I read Obama's book reflecting on that, and it was rather eye opening/depressing on this subject. I recommend it, at so that you understand the position he took while in the Senate. Everyone turns a blind eye to each other's greed, and bills just get filled with pork. Then the lobbyists help out some more. It's sad.

That being said, it isn't her fault, and Fox had no intention of honestly discussing this point.

[News4usall]

I think Fox (and others) just like to know if they are doing their job. And if they aren't the public should know.

The definition of failure is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result....

[Username2322]

Yes, but they attacking the messenger. They know she hasn't read it. They know no one has. They aren't actually trying to have an enlightened debate about transparency in government.

They invited her on for a few minutes on the light hearted morning show, chatted with her for a few minutes, and then, as they were segwaying out of the segment, they throw it up as a gotcha question that can't be explained in a sound bit. If they really cared, they would have asked it as the first question.

[News4usall]

She should have read it.

A simpl "yes I've read it all" would have ended it and showed them up.

The show highlighted hypocrisy.

[56gig]

Yeah, being a liar would have been so much easier.

[News4usall]

Doing her job would seem to be the easiest and best.

[chessgame1960]

Cowards and incompetents voting the party line and to enrich themselves and their cronies. If they will not perform the basic duties of their job description then they should not be paid and if that doesn't work then the military should physically remove them from office. If that fails then we citizens should do it.

[brothermoon]

This political process has got to stop. They do not represent their constituents' interests and are not performing due diligence when they do not read or have these bills summarized for them by those who have read them. And when hundreds of pages are added at the last moment, it becomes impossible. Let the gears grind to a halt !!

[mulgamutt]

Ah, what the hell. Since the country is going to shit, let history record for eons to come that it was the Socialist Democrats that did it. And then the sensible hardworking thinking people will have to rise up and start the whole place all over from scratch.

[duhCider]

She's too busy cleaning up Bush's and Cheney's mess.

[blogegog]

Certainly you mean Obama's mess, right?

[ariesvids]

More like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

[a7green]

....... Those bills are setup to be so confusing.

You literally need another book or "KEY" to read it.

[2008goo]

Is she really a Czar?

[irisojects]

Unfortunately yes that is her title,comrade.

[jxford]

Wow its really hard to call a liberal Stupid. Why not try, Stupid Republican. Its not that hard unless your a stupid republican mutha trucker. Biatch !

[pwoznic]

Of course that Can't Understand Normal Talk did not read it.

None of the retards that voted for that bill read it.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

[bittergunowner12]

What a moron!

[Templier90]

Stupid liberals.

[benstl]

shes also the ones who had EPA records destroyed while in the clinton administration, she was told not to by judges and did it anyway......kickbacks and shady deals are the norm for these people...the only reason the senate isnt voting on it yet is they have votes to buy

[maggutts]

This is pitiful. What happened to Obama's campaign promise of allowing the public to view any bills that crosses his desk for 5 days before any action is taken. What happened to the so called "Transparency" he promised. It's pretty sad that they pushed this through without even reading it. And it's sad that so many people are living an "ignorance is bliss" lifestyle. I hope more people wake up and smell the corruption. We need the help.

[well99]

Here is a wild thought. All bills must be read by those voting on them or sponsoring them.

[christmanpunch]

"I discussed it with other group thinking beaurucrats a few times in meetings. Yeah, I know everything about it. It's the best bill ever."

Obamabots activate!

[brian38383838]

I wonder if she just hired a speed reader, seems the democrats these days are all about letting others do their jobs for them.

This is quickly passing the funny stage and is now just angering me.

[Weleski]

You act like it was any different under a Republican administration.

It wasn't.

[irisojects]

Weleski That is such a tired OLD argument. "Its all Bushes fault" Good Lord how long, can you stretch that. Of course its both party's . DUH.This is now Obama's economy. This is Nancy and Harry's power grab. Wake up. Just admit our politicians have failed us all. Confession is good for the soul, denial will get you no where like we are all headed.

[robm425]

Which bill did the Republicans make a 300 pg addition to and placed on the desk of the representives 3:09am the day it was being vited on?

[NoCensorshipYT]

You GO Steve!

It IS FAIR.

How VAST were those PORTIONS?

Ten page's out of a THOUSAND.

LIAR!

[deftech79]

I can't believe she has the audacity to claim that the question is unfair. At least make an effort and read your own damn bill before lying about it's "dire" need on national television.

[irisojects]

Why can't they just be truthful? NO, I have not read the whole bill! What a bunch of pathetic people, Pres. Obamas czars are. The really bad thing is that they are not held to any standard or ethical behavior. They serve at the Presidents pleasure. Does any Senator or Rep. have the well you know what to introduce a bill to limit this outrageous use of executive power ?

[AirborneIdentity]

Douchey is the master of the strawman.

[brian38383838]

How in the world is that a strawman? She is top brass when it comes to energy in this country, yet she didn't read the biggest piece of legislation in many of our lifetimes, which also happens to be energy related. I just don't get why you think that is ok.

[AirborneIdentity]

well i just think he is a fox news hack

[FaaQ]

We are in the very best of hands

[Tobias2012]

The devils in the details Browner. Vast portions, what a joke.

[psocecil]

This is ridiculous. They control our lives, they can change our lives, and they don't even seem to care. Yes, 1000 pages is stupid. VERY stupid. But they're falling into the trap that was set. Put so many pages, then slip in a little something for a group that supported you during the election *cough*ACORN*cough* and it'll get right past these people. There needs to either be a requirement to read the whole bill, OR have a maximum page limit, like 200 pages.

[doejoemoe]

Why do should they have to know what they are voting for when half the people that vote for them cant pass a constitution quiz!

[ingodwetrust99]

Shouldn't those who signed off, on this ridiculous Cap and Trade bill, and others bills, which affect the lives of the American people be prosecuted for fraud (or something else), if they do not read the bills they sign? At LEAST they ought to be removed from the offices they are privileged to hold.

Americans must hold them all accountable.

[doejoemoe]

And at the same time they vote for the credit card reform act because people dont read the fine print.

What a stellar idea, we need a legislation reform act, so we dont need a lawyer to read the politicians the mall print! (choke) transperancy.

[kt8268]

What is wrong with these people? Wait I know, nobody holds them accountable, including American citizens.

Time for a revolution starts 2010

[DMitchVA]

This administration is pathetic

[soma187]

I have other words for this administration that are not so nice as what you chose to describe.... I'd say this administration is 'criminal'

[JayAreDubya]

Vast portions? Is that a metric unit?

[AJAX556]

She is such a Commie!!!

[soma187]

The entire administration is one big communist/fascist cabal.... hope and change.

[2008goo]

communist/fascist? you are retarded.

PWND!!!! ABSOLUTELY PWND!!!!
