Barack Obama - and his intimidation team
Pretty tough spot.
First, you are placed under oath to tell the truth, while, at the same time, you are pressured NOT to say anything contrary to the Democrats marching orders.
Whew!...

At theHill.com, Molly K. Hooper reports:
"Sokol told the committee that the Democrat’s cap-and-trade bill’s 'trading mechanism will impose a huge and unacceptable double cost on customers: first to pay for emission allowances, which will not reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one ounce, and then for the construction of new low- and zero-carbon power plants and other actions that will actually do the job of reducing these emissions.'
Republican lawmakers contend that Markey’s letter to FERC was an example of a wider effort on the part of Democrats to intimidate individuals who have different viewpoints than 'what the Majority wants to hear,' citing reports that the Senate Finance Committee Chairman 'just this week … instructed Democrat health care lobbyists not to meet with Republicans.'
'There’s systematic intimidation going on, and bullying of individuals by a party that preaches tolerance and it must stop,' Rep. Steve Buyer (R-Ind.) told The Hill."

Steve Buyer is the recipient of the largest amount of tobacco money of any Congressman in the history of Indiana. He is especially favored by Smokeless Tobacco PACs. He is nothing but a spokesperson for his corporate donors. He's the same guy who said we should use nuclear weapons in Afghanistan and who lied to Congress that he had been called to active duty in Iraq and then took a 3 week leave of absence at his home.
