I wonder what Obama will do in response. It looks like he has been trying to shore up his base as he goes into reelection mode. He just had immigration stop deporting illegal aliens all together. This should help retain hispanic votes. The black caucus is also demanding a bone thrown their way which I suspect might be seen in Obama's new proposed stimulus plan in September. The plan won't pass but, it probably be will be enough of an effort to retain black votes.
Obama will need the environmental movement on side come election time. He should get their votes by default because environmentalists know their voice would shrink under any Republican president but, Obama needs more than that; He needs people on the ground willing to knock on doors and give him money.
