Reply #10: If this in reference to yet another Obama retreat on environmental issues

[The Traveler]

Well, sorry about that. Nice that he made union formation easier ... I don't know enough about those details to know how important that is but it sounds pretty important.

But ... environmental protection is one of my core issues ... and his record in that regard is very ambiguous It is the pattern of retreat that most disturbs me, rather than any single decision.

Despite these misgivings, Obama retains my support, if not my enthusiasm. I am leery of any the "primary him" approach (though I do understand how the advocates of a primary challenge feel). Anyone who thinks handing the Republicans a victory in 2012 is a good idea really needs to think that through carefully.
