IS OBAMA AGAINST THE CALIFORNIA FUEL ECONOMY WAIVER?
[Get the latest "Truth With Speedzzter" here]
Reuters reports that Obama and the automakers are now aligned against the Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air Act waiver for California and the other liberal states who crib off of CARB's jack-booted, anti-free market emission rules.
Of course this is a flip-flop from Obama's "states should be free to increase standards" campaign rhetoric.
Yet environmentalists need not worry. The standards that will emerge from the Obama bureaucracy will be draconian enough to kill off or neuter those "scary" muscle cars, V8s, SUVs, and the other "bad" vehicles that greens believe that Americans should not be allowed to own. The wimpy, VW-Bug-driving, "chess club" nerds who hated the "dangerous and irresponsible" hot rodders and "gearheads" in the 1960s are still going to win in the end.
It would seem that Obama doesn't want to share duties as "the party pooper" with RINO Gov. Schwartzenegger or anyone below the federal level.
Of course, if "Truth With Speedzzter" were to testify at the high-stakes waiver hearing to be held on Thursday, March 5, We'd say CAFE is a huge failure that distorts and destroys the free market, drives up the prices on millions of vehicles Americans want and need, and absolutely guts automotive freedom. Making it worse by allowing CAFE standards to be Balkanized upward is "change" in the wrong direction.
Is the sudden attraction to "one standard" a manifestation of Obama's emerging global ambitions?
