If Obama picks RFK jr for EPA, he will be a better pres than I expected.
Seriously, he couldn't send a clearer message that he is serious about changing the government to better serve the people. Robert Kennedy, jr. is no joke, and about the most horrifying selection to corporations imaginable.

I really hope it happens.

8. Last I knew, he supported the thimerosal link theory,
or at least supported further investigation. There is some evidence for it, but a lot of people dismiss it as tinfoil hat stuff. Either way, I don't think that falls under EPA purview.

3. A great choice for EPA.
Caroline Kennedy would be a great ambassador to the UN as well.

4. it depends on which RFK Jr we get....
The rabid evironmentalist, or the self-serving NIMBYist.

I hope we find find a solid, rational, and consistent advocate.

7. I hope he chooses RFK Jr., he also works on election REFORM
and we need both so badly...what a wonderful choice.

Obama needs to be progressive with the environment.

F*ck the corporations...finally!

Say good bye to fascism


That's my hope!
