Silly to blame Obama for disappointments in the negotiations, he cannot force Congress to act, or eliminate the fossil fuel lobbyists and their friends. He has indeed at least taken some worthwhile steps at the Executive branch level.
I think the failure of Congress to act is partly the fault of our environmental community which too often talks to itseklf about these climate issue instead of the public where support has been slipping. I hear no sign of the environmental movement on talk radio, and the letters to the editor columns are dominated by the skeptics/deniers. In even an imperfect democracy, this takes a toll.
