Reply #34: I appreciate some of your comments, Jaxx, but selling out Obama? The base is not doing that. [View All]

He's selling us out. Almost everyone seems to be aware of this except a few. It is astonishing how LITTLE Obama did for the environment and to fight global warming and many other issues this past year. He definitely did NOT hit the ground running.

I have seen campaigns that were turning into disasters and the most panicky people of all were the Prozac peddlers screaming "Do not panic!" Wearing a smile button will not fix the rot taking hold in Washington and a fish rots at the head first. The planet is already going off a cliff and Copenhagen was a disaster. Obama went to Copenhagen and essentially said, "Eh." This is not a fight. THE PLANET IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE. And as for use of capital letters and PASSION, there is something wrong with people who can't exercise passion when times are tough. Are you saying you are AGAINST passion during the greatest crisis in all of history? It ain't healthcare, pal, it's global warming. If you are emotionally comatose at a time like this, that's a problem. There is a reason for passion. It's a conduit between thought and action. A person can know intellectually what the right thing to do is but if they are calm, calm, calm, and can't get exercised about it, moved, passionate, what are they going to DO about it?
