For years, some of us believed that maybe Obama did not know that pulpit existed. But then, last summer, he took to said pulpit with mush enthusiasm to ask the public to encourage Congress to get us actively into a war over in Syria.
And remember, he even stated that despite budget concerns, he could find money for that war.
How come the man can't step forward and ask the public to inundate Congress with their calls, emails and faxes on the matter of fracking? We as a nation cannot afford to take on this issue community by community, county by county,state by state. Instead, we need a clear directive given by the person at the head of his branch of government, and who is willing to take a stand. After all, the guy has two daughters, who will continue to need clean air and clean water for some decades to come.
