Barack Obama

If we don't hold his feet to the fire now, at this moment, then I suggest you are not helping him or youself or your neighbors. Those negative things are exactly what we should be watching for, not bathing him with unquestioning admiration as I daresay you are implying. He HAS leased western land very recently for shale development. He HAS approved one-half the pipeline. He DOES brag that we're about to be number 1 in oil production. He has NOT re-installed the solar panels on the WH even! What more do you want? I merely want to see these problems addressed... I do not want to participate with a group more interested in hero worship. Is that what you're asking everyone on DU to do? Remember, 20% of us voted Green - do you want us all to go away so that you can "support" the President?

I am a newbie here, and am flabbergasted there's not even a category for Climate change... maybe I've missed it but the closest is "Weather Watchers" - cut me a break, isn't there more to this discussion group than R-bashing?
