You can’t fool Mother Nature. You can’t abuse or terrorize her, and you can’t buy her off and get away with not taking care of her. Mother Nature requires love and respect. If not, the whole bio-diverse global family suffers.
In America, we stand on the cusp of our New Green Age trying to figure out what really placed our Garden on the verge of economic meltdown. Now, we wonder what actions President Obama will take to renew and grow American hope.
America has not yet learned the lesson of conservation. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a fearless Democratic father figure, created his New Deal in the Thirties and restored America’s faith in government and economy as fascism, communism, socialism, and democracy battled for world dominance.
People did not know how to label FDR’s New Deal. Many are just as confused about President Obama. Like Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy; Obama has selected an ideologically diverse Cabinet for Congressional approval.
President Obama chooses what works over ideology. Like JFK, he selected “the best and brightest.” Many of Obama’s Cabinet selections are leading academic scholars and veteran policy-makers from the Clinton Administration. Echoing famed Depression-era economist Keynes, Obama’s economic team has wisely advised him to create at least three million jobs to “prime the pump.”
