Critical Memo to Obama: Do Something

Ok, again a totally useless comment without any merit whatsoever.
Obama hasn't even taken office yet - and although you seem to not know it, it's not his fault that inauguration is on Jan 20. He does not have the power yet to "do something", as you should know.

He has in fact done more in preparing to hit the ground running than any President-elect in recent history at this time during the transition period. People like you demand that he walk on water after giving the Bush-criminals a pass on every failure.

And your absolutely pathetic demand for shelving the $150 billion alternative energy program doesn't become smarter the more you repeat it. In fact, deficit spending for alternative energy is one of the powerful means to finally dig the US out of the mess created by its oil addiction. As fast as the price for oil has plunged it will soar again (in two or three years) - and then people like you will scratch their bald, hollow heads again. Action is needed now.

The oil industry is still vastly higher subsidized than alternative energy - much to the detriment of the planet; it harms my children, and I am pissed.

As to subsidies for new technologies: As you should know, every new major technological shift has been subsidized by the governments: Railroad, cars (through building of roads and highways), nuclear power (oh my), space technology, computer technology (through the military industrial complex), and so forth.
No industry has ever been more deserving and urgently needed than alternative energy, so investing heavily is the right thing to do and long overdue, thanks to the dumbass of a jerk of a president that people like you voted for.

Not one mention in your "memo" of the urgency of curbing greenhouse gases in your commentary! I wonder: Is this thanks to your ignorance or to your affiliation to the carbon industry?

When will people like you learn your lesson? Probably never.
Get. Out. Of. The. Way.
