Bill McKibben in the news

Is Bill McKibben right to be angry with Obama?

A reaffirmation of the my questioning of McKibben's cause. Yes, I aggree with the bigger picture, but the approach seems a little wobbly. David Roberts, the author of this article gently puts McKibben in his place, who is upset that Health Care reform has been made the first initiave in Congress, by saying that Obama is not where the blame should be. He goes on to point a few fingers, namely democratic senators who are pushing the health care bills. With reform on the horizon, or so the picture has been painted, climate change bills are still getting their feet under them. If McKibben were presented with the option of either providing insurance for how ever many millions of citizens don't have health care or saving the environment, I wonder which he would actually chose? However, the point is that the President, regardless of the title, doens't really get to chose.
