He for some reason is fair game but no one wants to admit he is entirely crippled by the House of Representatives.
And I'm sorry - but my member of the house in NEW JERSEY is an R who just voted again to send women to back alleys for abortions.
NOTHING is going to get done in America - good, bad, or indifferent with the current House of Representatives.
When Obama - whose wife keeps a fresh garden at the White House - can wave his wand and single handedly work his magic to stop Monsanto - then that will be a good thing.

Why should Obama? And really - what is the Netroots going to do? Write them (the Republican House) to death?
