I don't want our President to give anything to anyone. One of the arguments given why he should be elected was that he is an outsider, and didn't have to play the IOU game in Washington...remember that?
That's my personal standard for the Presidency...it's more important than politics, or loyalty, or getting re-elected. If global warming is real, steps have to be taken. If it's priorities...well, some people think the environment is more important than the economy, some don't. But to make good decisions, it needs to be articulated whether the decisions are made to favor the environment, or the economy, or election chances
