Lets hope he can do something about Climate Change, rather than the ostridge approach of the flying shoe dodgers of the previous administration.
It was worse than that under Bush: the administration was actively antagonistic towards environmental concerns. So already Obama,in appointing more enlightened people at both Energy and Environmental Affairs, has made a positive move.
Note also the contrast with Brown, who invited environmentalists into the "big tent" but promised no real power.
Further good news relating to appointments to Obama's scientific team has been reported by LibDem Voice.
