Apr 30, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Joel Rogers, the American academic and political activist may be the man behind the Progressive Movement of American President Barack Obama, if a report in Fox News is to be believed. Commentator Glenn Beck has put forward this view after Joel Rogers was seen on the speaker’s seat in the Earth Day conference in Chicago which took place on Thursday.

Considering the fact that the Progressive Movement started its activities from Wisconsin, it will not be difficult to believe the prediction made by Glenn Beck. Joel Rogers too is a member of the University of Wisconsin where he teaches subjects like law, political science and sociology. It has now been predicted by the Fox News commentator that Joel Rogers is the man who shapes all the policies which come out of the President’s head.

It has come to light that during the 1990s Barack Obama funded the Climate Credit Exchange program in Chicago from the Joyce Foundation. While the Cap and Trade bill is now pending in the Senate, the previous exchange program has traded carbon credits already. This is of utmost importance if the Cap and Trade bill has to be instituted. Also it has been revealed that Franklin Raines, one of the President’s chief fundraisers had bought the technology required for the management of the Cap and Trade bill while he is the head of Fannie Mae. The question in everybody’s mind is why would a mortgage lender like Fannie Mae invest money for such a purpose. Speculation is still high but Glenn Beck has passed the verdict that Joel Rogers is in the center of it all.
