Bush is disgraceful.

[piepenhoeker]

Well done, Robert !

Hope your voice is well again.

The same speech could (should) be held at a German University in German.

You are "rich" and try to save the planet for further generations "TOP DOWN".

I am poor and have to try it "BOTTOM UP" from the grass roots.

With great interest I followed the Worldeconomicforum in Davos in January 2008.

The BCG (Boston Consult Group)listed the 100 new challengers of the year 2008 in Mexico, China, India, and Russia.

I fear pollution will increase.

Which Kennedy is this? The one that raped that girl in Florida or the one that raped the babysitter. I get them all confused

[hablerz]

@DarthCormac Well i suppose his heart is in the right place , hes right in everything he says. Hes from a priveliged background but hes more in touch with reality then most of them.

Does anyone know why Bush was so against environmental policy?

Most Texans who care will tell you it is because he is an oil man himself, his family are steeped in oil wells.

You are a bassoon, you bassoon!

[ilovekbo]

Bassoons!!! All of you!!! Have you researched your opinions? Have you determined the level of respect that the celebrities who represent your cookie-cutter beliefs receive from other useless members of the media? That stuff is important. All I now is that if you complain on YouTube, it makes you really smart and awesome. And if you make fun of people with worthwhile opinions, it makes you special. Thanks everyone.

[DarthCormac]

Does he still fly around the world in his private jet? Is he still receiving royalty payments for his work with the oil-drilling companies his family owns?

Do you research before you heap praise, folks. You look like buffoons.

[CrippledRetardo]

Great speech, but could have done without all that 'god' crap.

This documents more reason for happiness in seeing the Bush administration OUT as well as reason for campaign finance reform. Preserve our democracy and our environment by allowing politicians to serve who are only answerable to WE the People. And we can only have that by getting big money OUT of Politics. Limit campaign contributions and spending. Keep lobbyists out of government. Allow GOOD people of education and wisdom from all economic levels to run for office, not just the wealthy.
