"Obama brushed aside criticism of compromises House leaders made by giving away free emission allowances to a long list of industries and interest groups, including coal-fired utilities, oil firms, algae makers and superconductor makers. He said the allowances were needed to ease regional differences, help industries adjust to carbon pricing, protect low- and middle-income households from higher electricity costs, and round up enough votes in Congress.
Obama said the bill's foes were seeking to "get political gain by scaring the bejesus out of people."
Many liberals have also opposed the bill, saying it gives too much to big energy industries and farm interests, which wrangled some last-minute changes that could make it easier for farmers to meet emission limits through the use of offsets based on tilling techniques. The latter concession most worries environmentalists because, depending on how the offsets are administered, it could undermine the solidity of the cap."

So, conservatives don't like it. Liberals don't like it. Now, that I call it A PERFECT BALANCE!
