earth destroying means of 'keeping the power on', going to some of the excellent plans that have been put forward to start building up Alternative Sources of energy, it would be easier to believe he is just 'stuck' with these policies.

Sort of like his total backtracking on Offshore Drilling, something we gave so much grief to Bush over he was never able to do what Obama did, because 'the Left' or at least some of them, have developed a blindness to things that were huge issues for them until recently.

18 days after he lectured us on how wrong the Left had been for 30 years on Offshore Drilling and how he had changed him mind after consulting with 'experts' on how SAFE those oil barges are now, implying that the 'left' had not kept up with the latest technology, we had the disaster in the Gulf, proving his experts to be tragically wrong. And the Left to have been right. But even after that, there was no admission of being wrong. A slap on the wrist to Oil Corps responsible for the deaths of 11 human beings and the untold, longterm damage to the environment.
