Apple quits Chamber of Commerce over Obama's greenhouse gases policy.

If you think about it this is hysterical funny.

On Monday, Apple resigned from the Chamber "effective immediately" over the organization's opposition to the Obama administration's environmental policies. "We strongly object to the Chamber’s recent comments opposing the EPA’s effort to limit greenhouse gases," wrote Apple government affairs vice-president Catherine Novelli to Tom Donohue, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce. "Apple supports regulating greenhouse gas emissions, and it is frustrating to find the Chamber at odds with us in this effort."

In recent weeks, Apple has made a concerted effort to reposition itself as environmental leader. Steve Jobs even gave BusinessWeek a rare interview to push his green agenda.

Given that Apple makes it products over in China with the worst enviro policy and no gas limits and Foxconn who makes the iPod was shown in 2006 to run the sweatshop of all sweatshops and groups accuse them in 2009 of the same charges. I think Steve Jobs is talking big and doing nothing.
