Let’s Make Obama Keep his Environmental Promises
Last night’s State of the Union address laid out a strong progressive agenda, including a green jobs program.
It’s not new for President Obama to say the right things, but he tends to back down when it’s time to follow through. So we, the environmentalists, have to not just “have his back,” but apply some pressure. Obama moved to the right numerous times over the past four years, to mollify Republicans. It’s time for him to return to the left in order to mollify his progressive/environmentalist constituents.
And that will only happen if we create a political climate where he has to listen to us and act for us. So let’s get out there and create that climate.
