...mean practically for major emitters. Jackson said she did not have a timetable for when the agency would publish a detailed plan to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, and both Jackson and Obama have said repeatedly that they would prefer legislative action - in the form of a carbon cap-and-trade bill - over top-down regulation. The House has already passed a bill that would cap U.S. carbon emissions at 17% below 2005 levels by 2020, and the Senate is considering similar legislation. The threat of EPA regulation might be enough to nudge the Senate in the right direction. "We still...

...their part, business groups and many conservatives remain even more opposed to the possibility of EPA regulation of greenhouse gases than they do to a cap-and-trade bill. They say CO2 is far more prevalent than any other pollutant the EPA has ever attempted to regulate under the Clean Air Act and that top-down regulation would lay a heavy burden on U.S. business. "An endangerment finding from the EPA could result in a top-down command-and-control regime that will choke off growth by adding new mandates to virtually every major construction and renovation project," said...

Granted, Latin America is on Obama's back burner as he tackles Afghanistan. But next year he plans to tackle immigration reform - an issue, like drug trafficking and free trade, that's heavily related to how well the U.S. helps Latin America build more equitble democratic institutions (the region has the world's worst gap between rich and poor). Yet as he ends his first year in office, Obama seems to have ceded Latin America strategy to right-wing Cold Warriors whose thinking - including the idea that coups are still an acceptable means of regime change - is no more equipped...

...heavy-handed double standards in the region. He won kudos for acknowledging that the drug war is as much about U.S. consumption as it is about Latin corruption. But the cheers have since turned to chagrin on numerous fronts. Obama is loath to offend supporters of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba; yet even Latin leaders who scorn the Castros shake their heads at Obama's insistence on retaining that utterly failed and globally rebuked policy - a position he holds despite polls that show a majority of Cuban-Americans now favor letting U.S. citizens travel to the communist island...
