I saw this article just a little while ago on my favorite HuffPo and can’t help but wonder what’s in store for the next few years. Pretty sure it’s better than the past 8 and he’d definitely put together and superstar team, but are all the other economic and political woes too big? The Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, has a Nobel Prize in Physics, so that can’t be anything less than a great start, right?
He’s created a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, as depicted in this throwback pic 
and passed the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 (need to do more research on that!). My only question is of his appointee Tom Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture who is in favor of locally grown foods (yea!), bet also favors GMOs (booo ;( ) But who can argue with the First Lady and her green thumb…and who can possibly look as cool as her gardening ?!?!!! Not I. Her garden cost only $180 and has produced 740 pounds of produce! Best of all, the EPA is now regulating CO2 as a pollutant- woo hoo!
However, now deforestation (aka logging) and drilling are allowed in Alaska. I’m not a fan of the drilling at all b/c it threatens nearby whales in the Beaufont Sea which migrate there twice a year. You will soon come to realize GDB is a big, big fan of whales- more on that to come…
So the jury is out on whether Obama is a hero, but he is human, so he’s still got my vote for good intentions.
Peace Out!
