*fingers still crossed*


Thought do not like him being stuck with something he voted against as Senator. And do not like that his environmental creds and effectiveness is being demeaned to praise the work of Markey and Warren, (and bash his former aide aka the talented Councilwoman Ayanna Pressley, who is considering running for Mayor of Boston just to praise others in the running), but guess that is how wannabe pols/ Dem activists operate, vile and it is. sheesh.

And also do not like the game that is played here. Though all for keeping the pressure on and it is Obama's decision in the end; some of those people from Code Pink to all the environmental groups should have been writing those letters to Sec. HRC who was all for this project. There is a slow wake up to how BC/HC use people when it comes to policies.

May get dismissed as being concerned, but do not like to see decent (ok good) public servants get thrown under the bus and be pressured to go against everything they stand for.

Again, all for the Sec. State Kerry going with gut and letting the chips fall where they may.
