Link Obama scolds Bush on environment, energy proposals Senator calls plans `not a serious effort' By John Chase Tribune staff reporter Published April 4, 2006 Sen. Barack Obama delivered a blistering attack on President Bush's environmental policies Monday, saying the president's recent plan to end the nation's reliance on oil was "not a serious effort" and that the world faces devastation if it doesn't address worsening climate changes. Speaking in Chicago at a luncheon of The Associated Press, Obama (D-Ill.) said the U.S. government must invest more in renewable fuels, encourage advancements in the coal industry to reduce carbon emissions and place tighter restrictions on oil imports. Obama said he initially was hopeful when Bush said during his State of the Union address in January that the U.S. must end its reliance on oil, "but then I saw the plan." "His funding for renewable fuels is at the same level it was the day he took office. He refuses to call for even a modest increase in fuel-efficiency standards for cars. And his latest budget funds less than half of the energy bill that he himself signed into law--leaving hundreds of millions of dollars in underfunded energy proposals," Obama said. "This is not a serious effort. Saying that America is addicted to oil without following a real plan for energy independence is like admitting alcoholism and then skipping the 12-step program." Obama said the Bush administration has practiced a "stubborn refusal" to admit a need for change. Officials with the Republican National Committee said Obama's criticisms are misguided. "Senator Obama seems to be advocating a policy enacted by President Bush and is now using it to attack Republicans," said Ann Marie Hauser, a committee spokeswoman. "Obama's `stubborn refusal' to acknowledge the facts about the energy bill the president signed into law is disturbing, in particular those that focus on energy-efficient vehicles, renewable energy sources and less reliance on foreign sources of fuel," she said. Obama's comments came as part of a series of policy addresses to show the breadth of his interests after a year in office. In recent months he has called for the U.S. to begin a gradual withdrawal of troops from Iraq and for major reforms on ethics. He also has given several talks on the environment, saying the nation's reliance on oil is having a negative effect on the economy and is jeopardizing national security. "And when it comes to climate change, it's the fossil fuels we insist on burning--particularly oil--that are the single greatest cause of global warming and the damaging weather patterns that have been its result," he said Monday. "Climate change may be unleashing the forces of nature," Obama said, "but we can't forget that this has been accelerated by man and can be slowed by man too." Obama called for $100-per-vehicle federal tax credit to cover automakers' costs of installing flexible-fuel tanks. He also called for giving consumers a 35-cent tax credit for every gallon they use of E85, a fuel blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Obama also pushed for legislation to help pay for some retiree health-care costs for U.S. automakers in exchange for those companies promising to spend those savings on building more environmental friendly vehicles.

I was at the first 2 games this year and was thinking it would be cool to be able to identify a SoxTalker in the crowd. Maybe a patch or cap or something. Anyone else think that would be a cool idea? EDIT: I know it's easy for everyone to identify me since I'm the best looking guy on Soxtalk but it's a little difficult to identify other posters.

Looks like Mark will be pitching this game. He owned them last year....but who didn't?

Bump

QUOTE(spiffalicious @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) The only video they showed at the game was the player intro videos (with thunderstruck). None of the other videos from Sunday were played. That is not true. They played the Sunday montage video as well.

Anyone catch The Colbert Report Monday night? Stephen gave the Sox mad props. Was pretty cool. He lived here for a few years when he did Second City.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) I'll be there tomorrow in 544. I'll be in 542, row 5.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) Don't you remember? Frank was the reason we lost that year. Everybody else stepped up. Maggs, Konerko, Lee -- all dominant. What are you smoking? He was the MVP that year...oh wait they gave it to the steroid guy instead. If you're talking about the play-offs, no one showed up offensively.

Who gives a s*** about flags. Everyone should be able to wave theirs. This topic is boring.

flyby...

Awesome game! When was the last time we were not in 1st place? Damn I'm tired. Stupid Blue Line stopped between 2 stops for 25 minutes.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Apr 2, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) really pisses me off to miss so many games while I'm at school then in the summer when I have the time during the day, all the games are at night Because school is in session this early and the weather sucks.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) Well, now Gload, Mack, Sweeney around the outfield, Ozuna, Gonzalez, Cintron, and Widger in the infield (Widge @ 1st?) and Molina behind the plate. I heard Ozzie will use that same alignment tomorrow.
