Obama climate change and energy policy still sucks

[limpyhobbler]

7. Obama never saw an oil pipeline he didn't like.

He has plenty of money to protect his own family when climate catastrophe strikes. Apparently he doesn't care what happens to the rest of us.

Working class people will be left to die while the wealthy retreat to safe areas. Just like in Katrina, or in Haiti right now. Right now in New York City thousands of people are still without heat. This is something the Obama family will never have to worry about.

That's why he has done nothing to get us off of the fossil fuels that cause climate change. The United States should be leading the world on this issue. Unfortunately Obama is leading us in the wrong direction. We are headed for a climate crash, and Obama is hitting the gas when he should be pumping the brakes.

Coal production is up. Oil production is up. Shale gas production is up. And the US under Obama is exporting all these to the world. All this despite a citizens' environmental movement that is bigger and more vocal than it has ever been.

He was President in the crucial moment, maybe the last chance we will have to change course. He had an opportunity to rise to the occasion and do the right thing, but instead he pissed it away and pissed away all our futures. Except of course for the very rich and well connected, who will be able to buy their way to safety.

I'm talking about the policies of Barack Obama. What a disappointment.
