Obama's Priorities

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Expansionist China regularly threatens the United States. It has hacked the personnel files of the government workers. Security analysts fear lives could be in danger as a result. Xi Jinping, president of China, mocks Barack Obama with some regularity in his public comments. China is threatening our allies and cleaning our clocks at the trade table.

But don't worry. The major newspapers are reporting this morning that the president of China and the president of the United States are close to an agreement to control the weather.

Xi's pledge to lower carbon emissions is meaningless -- he has little control over China's collapsing economy and nothing lowers carbon emissions faster than a cratering economy.

And when it comes to enforcing this new agreement, the administration has already signaled that its intention, just like the Iran deal, is to bypass Congress completely.

So President Obama will make an agreement on what is perhaps the least important issue, and he intends to enforce it through regulation. His policies will stifle our economy, cost jobs and cause hardworking families to pay higher energy bills.

All of which is a reminder that it is not going to be enough to elect a conservative president in 16 months. The next president must have an incredible amount of fight, and be prepared from day one to reverse a huge volume of policies that are wrecking the country.

From my years of experience in Washington, there will be a thousand people in this town, including some in the GOP, telling the new president why he or she can't do that.
