John Kerry

Your last paragraph - and an Obama comment on people being more concerned with the economy rather than the environment are the at the root of the dilemma. The pro pipeline people have inflated the economic pluses. One hard piece of information in the State Department report is that it will create only 35 permanent job

As to Clinton people - of course, he would have hired Clinton people. ANY Democrat who wanted to work in government in the 1990s would have considered doing so. Many far more progressive and liberal than the Clintons.

That was a great blog post - he is a liberal/progressive activist on the environment.
