Open Left

"when you've got corporate leaders like Jeff Immelt

legislators from coal regions like Rick Boucher, and Al Gore all agreeing that this is worth doing", then that's a sure sign that the bill could have been much stronger. It would have been much better if ONLY Al Gore supported it! This shows, once again, Obama's totally failed approach towards reforms. He seems to think it's a victory in itself if there is a broad support from different lobbyists for a bill. Well, that's a policy for fools, of course! The value of a bill shows in it delivering positive results for the people. Period.

And that Obama doesn't care about achieving the best possible results is a tragedy for the US. People don't necessarily need a feel good president, who is popular with the left and right. They need real reforms, the change that was promised to them. And delivering only the same old crap in a slightly improved version isn't good enough!


Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter
