Obama Warns Dems on 'Protectionist' Tax in Climate Change Bill - Political News - FOXNews.com: "Obama told energy reporters that, while he is 'very mindful' of wanting to ensure a 'level playing field internationally,' Congress should consider alternatives to tariffs.

'At a time when the economy worldwide is still deep in recession and we've seen a significant drop in global trade, I think we have to be very careful about sending any protectionist signals out there,' Obama said, according to a transcript of the Sunday session with reporters. 'I think we're going to have to do a careful analysis to determine whether the prospects of tariffs are necessary.'"

Tariffs help special interests and hurt the country as a whole so way to go Obama!
