Congress Energy Bill Speedreading Atrocity

This is an incredible insult to every American. This would be a funny skit on Saturday Night Live, but this actually took place in our Congress yesterday. The proposed 964 page green energy bill will cost Americans trillions of dollars and forever increase the cost of energy in America. How can our elected representatives be so cavalier with something as serious as this? Notice the subtle snidely smile on Waxman's face as he calls the speedreader to read the bill. Notice the laughter on the faces of those in the background. Notice that even the speedreader thinks this is a joke! Congress won't even read the bill but instead have a speedreader make a mockery of it and our government. And this is how they are going to understand the contents of the bill? You have to be kidding! After two minutes of hearing this guy anyone will tune him out! What are those guys thinking? Are they thinking at all? It looks like they don't even care! How many earmarks are in this bill, just like they were buried in the stimulus and omnibus bills?

The world must be laughing at us as our country is destroyed by the audacity of the Democrats and the Obama administration. As Americans are losing jobs, their life long savings, and their homes, Congress shows they don't even care and will blindly heap more and more financial burdens on the American people. This arrogance of the Obama Administration needs to be exposed for what it is far and wide. We need to get everyone in Congress that is up for vote next year out of there. Obama's systematic destruction of America has to be stopped! Please get your friends to view this, pass it on. Get them to watch Fox News Channel to find out the truth about what is going on in DC!

My friend was the speed reader and this is the REAL situation down in Congress:

1. Republicans wanted the bill read aloud TO STALL IT. The Democrats were the ones trying to get the energy bill passed.

2. EVERYONE on the committee had either read the bill, or been briefed by the aides they hired to read it. To suppose that your elected officials really are doing nothing to help the country along is just stupid.

Come on people - do you all really believe everything that you hear on Fox News?

Thanks for at least being civil in your reply. You are entitled to your opinion, but I have to disagree with you. Anyone has to be naive if you think any of them read the bill. No one read the 1000 page Stimulus bill which had thousands of earmarks and no one has read this one either. If you look at a longer version of this video on you tube you will see that this committee admits to not reading it.

It is filled with earmarks too, and at over a trillion dollars wasted on non-existent global warming, it's not worth the paper it's printed on. Our elected officials are a bunch of idiots pandering to Obama, who is the biggest mistake this country has ever made. He has instituted change all right, putting us on the road to Fascism and bankruptcy.  Thanks for your opinion!

A Long Kept Secret For Generating Free Electricity is Finally On The Open, And You'll Never Have To Pay A Single Dime to the Power Company! Working units have already been built worldwide. It will only come down to YOUR skepticism or trust. I am only sharing my research! Just leave your mail at Jorit van der Bogaerts Blog and follow the steps to receive your magnetic generator DIY guide. All the raw materials needed cost less than 100$. doesn't use resource like wind or solar energy to function

"All we're asking for is read the damn bill?" The Arrogance is on the part of the idiot Republicans! Did they read the Patriot Act out loud? Did they read the TARP bill that Bush signed out loud? It was a ridiculous request to waste time and stall and stop any progress by the Party of NO. God Republicans suck they're like children messing thing up when the grown-ups are trying to get something done.

Just becouse a man/and or women can speed read does not mean him/and or her fully understands what exactly they are reading.They set us up for failure every time!

Beck is a traitor to the Constitution and will be remembered in history as such....

[gdr8]

Funny how they pull the speed reader away before everyone claps at them. BTW this was an useless amenment used to try to exaust the bill to death.

The global warming scam passed by Congress. Goldman Sachs is in the middle of it, as usual a potential trillion dollar sure thing.

And Former Vice President Al Gore who will profit from the cap-and-trade plan through his company, Generation Investment Management,

Gore is joined by three former Goldman Sachs heads in their carbon offsets business.

My opinion: Who watches Glenn Beck now anyway???? His recent comments and especially behavior is really an embarrassment????
