WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, fresh from his first legislative victory on climate policy, expressed confidence on Monday that new greenhouse gas emission limits would become law with help from the U.S. Senate.

Obama also announced new measures on efficiency standards for lighting used in homes and businesses to take effect in 2012.

U.N. talks on a new global pact to fight climate change take place in December in Copenhagen, and analysts say having a U.S. law passed by then would boost chances of reaching an international agreement.

Obama has said he wants the United States to lead the world in fighting climate change.

Obama has said he wants the United States to lead the world in fighting climate change.

If he was going to be honest about it, the post would be:

"Obama has said he wants the United States to lead the world in the robbing the public blind while converting capitalism to socialism."

I urge everyone to write their senators and let them know how strongly opposed you are to this bill, the healthcare bill, and the new "hate-speech" bill (which is unconstitutional in the first place). Believe it or not, they are starting to listen to "we, the people" for a change.
