In reply to the discussion: Obama climate change and energy policy still sucks [View all]marmar
(80,289 posts)...... instead of attacking people for pointing out problems with the current energy policy and where it's going to lead, why not work toward trying to push the administration on the policy? Expecting some accountability for campaign promises is a very good thing - President Obama said so himself.
I've been a supporter of the president since he first announced his candidacy during the 2008 primary season -- that hasn't and won't change. But being a supporter doesn't mean that you can't be critical of policies -- Isn't that what we so decried the "Bushbots" for during that terrible era?
The election's over, so naturally the attention is going to be re-focused on policy. I understand the defensiveness during election season -- but perhaps it's time for skins to thicken a bit to give the administration that "righteous wind" to do the right thing.
