Obama Green examines environmental policy during President Obama's first two years in office. It tracks the environmental promises of the Obama Campaign to the environmental actions of the Obama Administration, across multiple issues, including, climate change, green jobs, renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean air, clean water, transportation and agricultural issues. The personalities and inter-personal relationships of the major political players involved in setting federal environmental policy are also highlighted. Obama Green looks at who played the heroes, and who played the villains, among Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader John Boehner. In addition, Obama Green takes you behind the White House gates, to see the power struggles among: chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel; senior adviser, David Axelrod; energy and climate czar, Carol Browner; green jobs czar, Van Jones; and director of the National Economic Council, Larry Summers. You may be surprised at who utters the four-letter words - or maybe not. In Obama Green, author David B. Bancroft, analyzes President Obama's environmental leadership through four overarching questions. How has President Obama utilized the tools of the presidency - nominations and appointments; relationships with Congress; and direct appeals to the American people - to move forward his environmental agenda? Is he an under-achieving environmental president, a good environmental president or a transcendent environmental president? Has President Obama been implementing an unprecedented environmental agenda that is so wide, and so deep, that it will ultimately steal all your power, your freedom and your wealth? Or is President Obama a charlatan and poseur, carrying out a modern day version of the 1970s movie, Soylent Green; where he has ground up the hopes and dreams of environmentalists and fed them into the political machine, in order to achieve and maintain power - in a latter day, Obama Green?
