Reply #185: What part of this quote is misquoted? Here is what I read...

“My view is that the Republican claim that ‘job-killing regulation’ is a redundancy is as ridiculous as the left-wing view that ‘job-killing regulation’ is an oxymoron,” said Cass Sunstein, head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. “Both are silly political claims that have no place in a serious discussion.”

Emphasis mine, for those hard of reading and comprehending. This is a classic centrist false equivocation of the extreme right wing who wield enormous influence and power over all legislation and White House's political direction and the "left-wing" who have been shut out of politics for about 30 years.

Environmentalists have zero influence, they can't buy Obama and the democratic leadership like the baggers and Wall Street CEOs. To claim left and right are equally discounted is utterly preposterous. No, it's worse than that. It is a bold face lie.
