Obama Is Going To Combat Climate Change With Or Without Congress

Business Insider: Are we witnessing a strange kind of symmetry? In his first presidential election Barack Obama constantly talked about taking measures to combating global warming all the time -- as, indeed, did his Republican opponent, John McCain. But, once in office, he did little or nothing about it. In his second campaign he hardly mentioned climate change at all. Does that, equally paradoxically, mean that he will now take action.

Turning left: From climate change to women in combat, a liberal tilt for Obama in second term

Associated Press: From gun control to gay rights, President Barack Obama's second-term agenda is shaping up as an unabashedly liberal wish list. In less than a week, he's vowed to tackle climate change and protect government entitlements. His administration has lifted a ban on women in combat and expanded opportunities for disabled students.
