Will Barack Obama be our First Green President?

There is much ado about the election of our first black

president, but really, the color of his skin is meaningless

to me. It`s the color of his politics that are of concern,

meaning, "is he green?"

The gap between whites and blacks, hispanics, and other

minorities grows ever smaller in this country and a black

or hispanic president, and eventually a female president,

was inevitable. Fifty years ago it was an impossibility for a

catholic to be elected to the highest office!

Mr. Obama has already stated in his speeches that part

of his economic stimulus plan would include big renewable

energy projects and that is encouraging.

After eight years of an administration that was thoroughly

in bed with the oil industry and two centuries of plundering

the planet in the name of the industrial revolution, it is time

to reassess our goals and the future of our planet.

We have burned collossal amounts of non-renewable,

highly polluting fossil fuels in the past two hundred years,

and that energy has given us a dream lifestyle filled with

conveniences and gadgets, toys and transportation that

would have been pure science fiction when Fulton invented

the steam engine and started it all. Unfortunately, we are

now paying a huge price for all these conveniences in the

form of air, soil, and water pollution, as well as global

warming, which, if allowed to continue unchecked, will soon

make our planet a terrestrial hell.

Fossil fuels are the culprit, so what to do about our depend-

ence on them should be foremost in our minds.

Not if, but when the ice caps melt, sea levels will rise at

least thirty feet, inundating almost every coastal city and

town on earth. There is great concern that the influx of all

that fresh water will stop the flow of the gulf stream and

bring on the next ice age.

Are we going to give up all the modern conveniences made

possible by the burning of fossil fuels? Of course not! But

there are things that everyone can do to reduce the size of

their carbon footprint, cheaply, as well as save many thou-

sands of dollars in energy costs!

In conclusion, I action these observations on the agitation as an event: The one adjudicator architecture was not the best for this debate. The primary debates usually had two or added moderators and that seemed to assignment best. Lehrer may accept been a little tame. At the alpha he accustomed that he had developed the questions himself. They did not accept too difficult or probing, annihilation to absolutely claiming the candidates, no 'gotcha's'. (Where was Tim Russert aback we bare him?) The time of 90 account was apparently able because neither applicant was in a position to acutely and in detail action specifics on about any question.

Finally, there was no bright champ in the agitation as both seemed to accept able and anemic points. Both denticulate several times, neither committed any unpardonable gaffs, and both appeared 'Presidential' to a degree. Tie! No overtime, but a rematch is appointed for Thursday, October 7th in Nashville, Tennessee hosted by Tom Brokaw.

(Post Script: Keith Olbermann was afar from the MSNBC column agitation altercation console advertence his contempo anticlimax in cachet at MSNBC/NBC is real. However, his 'Countdown" affairs aired anon afterwards and he, and his fresh lefty accomplice Rachel Maddow, got their biased licks in and agilely declared Barack the cutting winner.)

As a aftereffect of my captivation with the admission of HB 1660 actuality in Pennsylvania, I accept abstruse abounding things.

The accountability that the bloom allowance companies abode on administration is one of them.
