Readers take a dim view of President Barack Obama's Better Buildings Initiative, announced in February 2011, according to a poll of GlobeSt.com readers.

The 60 percent who chose "another Obama boondoggle" voted after a December announcement detailing $4 billion in federal and private sector money to invest toward energy upgrades for public and private buildings.

For the rest, 27 percent picked “the kind of incentive the industry needs,” and 13 percent said that “it sounds good, but I’m waiting to see,” GlobeSt.com reported Monday.

The site also reports that Andrew Goldberg, managing director of Government Relations and Outreach for the American Institute of Architecture, said most complaints about the initiative abate

Goldberg said that most of the suspicion, he thinks, relates to parts of the program that need congressional approval, which seems hard to get for anything anymore.
