Obama’s radio address, 03 Jan 2008: renewable energy, no transit 2

Obama’s radio address, on the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan,” mentions doubling renewable energy and energy efficiency renovations; it does not mention public transit. Lots of bipartisan talk, in the runup to the great kickoff of Jan. 20.

    But did you listen to McConnell?When you listen to Obama, it all sounds good.  But I don't think that he has the bipartisan support in Congress to pull this off. If you listened to McConnell at all, that is what he will do, as will Rep. Bonehead Boehner. Add to that a number of Democrats with powerful constituencies...eg the extractive industries coal and petroleum, you have a recipe for ineffective action.
    This is going to take the grassroots of the American People to tell their Congress Critters what to do if they want to keep their pensions.
