One of the biggest questions about a President Obama's first 100 days in office has always been what signature issue he wants to tackle first. The educated guess has long been the environment -- Obama has just never seemed all that obsessed with progressive health care policy. And in a interesting new interview with Time's Joe Klein, the candidate confirms that's the case:
For us to say we are just going to completely revamp how we use energy in a way that deals with climate change, deals with national security and drives our economy, that's going to be my number one priority when I get into office, assuming, obviously, that we have done enough to just stabilize the immediate economic situation.
