Post-America: presided over by a man who hates it

As you surely know by now, the Most Equal Comrade has made official his thumbs-down on the Keystone XL pipeline.

He fully understands that it will cost thousands of post-American jobs in energy, construction and auxiliary fields.

That is is aim. You have to hobble the nation's economy in order to bring about full socialist revolution.

And the next step is putting the carbon dioxide emissions reduction regs on post-American power plants in place, which will kill thousands more jobs.

And, of course, this month is the big pow-wow in Paris, where he intends to lock in his stature in history as the man who ended human advancement:

Obama is counting on the climate treaty, to be finalized early next month in Paris, to vault him into a category of his own: the first president to treat climate change as a top-tier issue, and the first to secure the type of commitments from other countries needed to address the problem significantly

Consider what this vile creature has already done:

To that end, Obama's many executive steps to reduce greenhouse gases have been designed in part to maximize his leverage when he negotiates overseas.
Aside from the power plant rules, Obama has ramped up fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, taking aim at one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases. His administration has also moved to curb emissions from methane, hydrofluorocarbons and other pollutants while providing more federal dollars for renewable energy sources like wind, hydro and solar.

And in the run-up to Paris, Obama struck major climate deals with China, hoping that a commitment by the world's largest polluter to cut emissions would make it impossible for other developing nations like India and Brazil to beg off from making commitments of their own. China, which is still building coal plants to fuel growing power consumption, plans to max out its carbon emissions around 2030, if not sooner. 

The jackboots' appetites have been whetted:

"To fight climate change effectively, we will need to make thousands of changes across our economy," Michael Brune, the head of the Sierra Club, said in an interview. "We have gone through a period of increased climate denial, but now we're in a place of dramatically increased acceptance of the need to act on climate."

It is so very late in the day.
