Obama just slammed the bush admin again

[cali]

on environment, science, energy and more. His address just now was very strong on those issues. He put climate change front and center and he really put pressure on the auto companies to raise fuel efficiency.

1. And by mentioning all the job losses going on, he may have

embarrassed rethugs into being more amenable to the stimulus plan.

It's all great; I'm so inspired by this guy.

3. That was a very heady address

I can't help but wonder what became of all the DUers who've been shrieking for months about how Obama is just a center right corporatist shill.

4. I've noticed the silence, but not any kudos for a job well done (so far).

That's a shock. OK, not really.

2. you noticed Obama said "inherited" yes indeed and don't

let the stinking media forget it.

5. I noticed that too.

It's sad to say but I'm just happy we have a president who can construct a complete sentence.

6. pressure on the auto companies but with a helping hand

He's reaching down to them and basically commanding them to take his hand and get up or else.

steel fist inside a velvet glove - I like it.

7. why set a new mileage standard by 2020? they can make it happen sooner than that..

European cars are in the 40's or better now..
