Will President Obama pay a political price for EPAs new anti-energy climate rule? Share the facts at CFACT.org: wp.me/p39tSj-5HG The simple fact is Obamacare, the Veterans Administration and Internal Revenue Service scandals, and a host of foreign policy issues have already put many Democratic seats and open seats in the U.S. Senate at risk in 2014 – and bolstered Republican incumbents whose seats might otherwise be at risk. Adding in the EPA power plant proposed rule to this mix is not going to be a game changer for races already likely decided, or in jeopardy. It may, in fact, cost some Democrats in red states dearly. The President is likely hoping to solidify the progressive base in blue states (like California), hoping that additional state actions in these regions will push the envelope further to the left of the proposed EPA controls and take over the driving of future energy regulation. But the most important goal for President Obama and his allies is to ensure that his successor in the White House will be like-minded and thus willing and able to implement the policies he has championed. Their expectation is that, as time marches on, their anti-carbon, green energy policies will become permanent fixture of the American political culture. Sadly, they seem not at all concerned that their policies, while maybe scoring some political points with their allies, will almost certainly lead to job losses, higher energy costs, and perhaps America’s economic decline. How will EPAs climate rule affect the 2014 and 2016 elections?
