The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama and Vice President Biden are pressing House Democrats to take action on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 issued for comment last month by Henry A. Waxman (D Ca.), Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, and Edward J. Markey (D. Mass.), Chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee.  Much of the concern appears to be that this initiative stands in the way of health care legislation that the Administration wants to move forward.
