Our President did more for science in 100 days than W did in 8 years. This is a science site- show me how the party of no has proposed, supported, or even tolerated the secular advances in science that Obama has championed.

We don’t have a totalitarian state. If dem’s won’t back the Prez, should he just stop trying? It’s not just a black thing- Hillary wouldn’t get any love either if she sat behind the big desk.

34RB21CB – I don’t think the term ‘republicans’ makes sense in that context.

Rhac – You are so right, the dems are incapable of doing much, even when in control. Big corporations perhaps have more power as they donate to and influence both parties. Humans are/can be, naturally, greedy and lazy, if something is working that is making a few guys billions, they will do whatever they can to secure the status quo and resist any form of change that will cost them. I think its a natural instinct, as well as a cultural phenomenon to crave and hold on to power and material items, even at the expense of others or the environment. Worse than using coal and oil for electricity and transporation, I think the “junk goods/fast foods” production, distribution and disposal is much worse for the long term health of the planet: Wasteful plastic use, toys, packaging – most of the junk people buy and toss out from Wal-Mart or Target and all the ships and trucks that haul all of that stuff around. Fertilizers so lawns can stay green, pesticides so people wont see a spider, millions of tons of sunscreens draining into lakes and the oceans, tons of plastic flip flops that last one season only to disentigrate in the oceans. Where I live, the ignorance I see from the general population, their lack of concern and knowledge about the environment is much worse than the politicians and corp execs as the consumer choices trickle back up and influence policy.

Whoever is in charge of assuring Obama’s re-nomination for the office of President for the Democratic party in 2012 must be quaking in his or her boots. I can’t wait for someone to challenge for the nomination.

Ug, it seems to me that the Republicans are relentlessly effective at keeping any legislation I want from passing, while the Democrats are utterly incapable of passing any legislation I want. At the end of the day, it’s pretty much six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Cap and trade is a republican styled notion. A new market, set up and running by and for the private sector, seems the perfect foil to the socialist practices they claim to hate. The only reason republicans were so opposed is because it came from a democrat’s administration.

The herd should see something so obvious. What’s going to happen when congress flips in November? The repub’s will so F__ up the U.S. that Obama gets another term in 012.

Okay, now we’re officially screwed. As if two oil spills wasn’t enough…
