Thread Name: BS: Buck Stops With Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Buck Stops With Obama
The environmental policies can't be detached from the larger human rights violations
supported by the U.S. such as in Indonesia, Israel and Hispanic countries in Mexico, South and Central America and Saudi Arabia.

Obama is a politician who song and dances his way through many issues. He is no different than other politicians in his manner of dealing with these issues.

But the buck stops with you and me, not Obama. We allowed these things to happen
by remaining silent and uninvolved. We have to continue to push Obama and other
officials by protesting against these injustices. Greenpeace works in it's way. I admire
what they do.

Sometimes laws must be challenged like the fiasco presented by the Supreme Court
that Corporations are people. This ultimately affects our environmental policies as we
see in the Louisiana coastline.

Our tax dollars are supporting an unjust and futile occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is not cleaning up our environment.

These are not separate issues but dovetail with one another. We need to continously
look at the big picture.
