After you read it, then you can decide for yourself if you just want to pay the ticket or go to court and try to fight it.

Seemingly following in President Clinton's footsteps, President Obama seems intent on pleasing virtually all the people, all the time. Impossible? Well, yes it is, but the American people don't seem to care, as long as he tells them what they want to hear, even if he contradicts himself when he moves on to the next batch of supporters.
He has the added bonus of all those czars. He can let them speak out about all of the "hope and change" he envisions for America without having to take the heat for any of it that might cause a stir among those Americans who are still paying attention to the details. If one of them gets in hot water, he can just toss him/her under the bus and move on ... as has already happened to "green jobs czar" Van Jones.
Enter science czar John Holdren. Here's a guy that is hot-to-trot over the "climate change threat" that he believes is putting the world at risk, and someone who believes that overpopulation is one of the major contributors to that risk.
You know, I didn't think of it before, but that mindset doesn't go very far in alleviating the fears of those who believe the proposed health care bill will be merciless to seniors, but I digress.
Holdren is convinced that global cooling is what we should be worried about -- er, that is, he felt that way back in the 1970s.
Amazingly, his scientific expertise has suddenly turned his beliefs 180 degrees in reverse, and he is now proclaiming global warming as the big issue of the day -- or maybe not: he also seems to want to cling to his original roots, as he is now saying that global warming will actually cause global cooling.
President Obama, is the engine in that bus still running? I think you're going to need it again.
