  Most of these sound

  like positive, reasonable steps.  It's bizarre to me that our farm policy is as crazy as it is.On Barack Obama unveils agriculture plan posted 1 year, 11 months ago 5 Responses

  Obama and greens

  I'd agree.  Obama isn't ever going to be the greens' candidate, but he will be the green candidate in the general election. Like everyone, I hope he drops the coal and ethanol nonsense -- but at least it's understandable.  Still, it seems that
  a. he's open about his real views
  b. he's thought about the issues
  and
  c. he'd consider changing his mind.
  He needs stronger green voices on his staff, especially since he seems to really listen to people .  Is there really another viable Democratic candidate?  The fact that Obama is a listener frustrates those of us who understand green issues, since lots of the people he listens to don't.  The trick is to get our voices to be heard in his entourage.
