Reply #4: As is the President's style he will try and strike a common sense balance

[NJmaverick]

balancing the need to reduce our nation's crippling dependence on imported energy with environmental concerns. Sadly as we have seen in the pasts extremists on both sides will be unhappy and the environmentalists will try and paint the President as a puppet of big oil and the right will try and paint the President as a tree hugging liberal. As is always the case both those pictures will be wrong and the truth will be you have a pragmatic man who is using common sense rather than rigid ideological thinking to set his course.
