Welcome, President Obama
The Bush age has come to an end, and we’d like to take this opportunity to welcome President Obama to the oval office, on his first full day in the White House. The Inauguration yesterday was impressive, and awfully inspiring. I have high hopes that his Presidential term will build on the enthusiasm we all got a glimpse of.
I checked out his energy and environment initiatives today and there were some good bits, but I have to say that I was a wee bit disappointed. The only items represented on ‘energy and the environment’ were energy improvements. I know, I know, reforming energy use and sources will have a huge impact on the environment. I suppose I was hoping to see more along the lines of pesticide regulation, curbing petroleum use in household products, things like that.
Don’t get me wrong – a $7K tax credit for purchasing an ‘advanced’ vehicle is quite the bonus (though I’m still waiting for an ‘advanced’ minivan… Anyone?), and the creation of millions of new ‘green’ jobs kind of makes me swoon. But call me crazy. I’d just like to see some regulations – not unlike E.U. regulations – about pesticides and harmful chemicals in our everyday products.

The Inauguration was impressive indeed. I’m looking forward to see what Predident Obama can do to change America. I hope that he will not fail the hopes of most Americans. Now, are we all ready for a change?
I believe Obama is the next best thing to happen to America after Martin Luther King. I hope he erases all the bad memories of bush administration and the follies committed under his leadership. All the best Obama, we are with you!!
I believe Obama will slowly step into the environmental issues. I also hope that the world could do something to improve in eco-friendliness!
And so far i think he has done a pretty good job, the economy is slowly recovering, we are making peace with other nations, and we are investing in green technology, it has been a good three months.
Really good Nobel-speech from Obama: http://www.nettnytt.no/siste-nytt-om/barack-obama
