First

This is the first time in my life I have a President I actually *like.*  It feels...funny.  To want to know what he said and did today.  To be applauding his moves.  To actually care about his family. 

I wonder how long it will last?

I liked Clinton, too, so it's the second time in my life I've liked my President. That said, I keep turning on MSNBC to find out what wonderful thing he's done today. Today, he reversed Bush's ecological policies. Squee!!

I know, isn't it amazing to see headlines that make you smile and even squee? I just might start watching the news again!

Unfortunately, it won't be enough:( I just heard on the radio that some climate change scientist said that the changes are permanent and it will take something like a thousand years before they could be reversed if we don't worse first:(

I've been hearing for years that even if we fully stopped greenhouse emissions "right now" (whenever that happened to be), which is of course damn near impossible, that we'd be a minimum of 50 years of things getting worse before they started to improve again. But that seems like all the more reason to get started ASAP.

True, but had the policies been left in place, they'd be worse and worse still. Some improvement has to be better than none.
