"Bullcrap. His support for coal, nuclear, and oil drilling is conditional."

Sigh. So? Apparently the Gang of 10 addressed his concerns enough so that he announced his support.

Again, it is that novel concept called "compromise". I know, I know, you consider that to be flip-flopping...

Probably because he doesn't believe it to be the case. Yeah, I know. Reality-based.

That is Bad.

"When push comes to shove, it's not clear to me that Obama would be willing to compromise. "

He has a history of it. I know, Fox and Rush says different. But try looking at the actual record.

>Or why he doesn't attach conditions for global warming, such as "IF the dangers of climate change are real and imminent, and if it doesn't involve severely impacting our economy and our way of life, then I would support the fight against global warming!"

Why is it "liberal" to not want to continue to destroy the earth and all that lives on it? Only because "conservatives" don't give a crap?

Of course, they're conditional. And why do you think that is?
