In these last days of the 2012 presidential campaign, Republicans are busy making asses of themselves by making wild speculations that Barack Obama is covering up secret Islamic symbolism on his wedding ring, and making demands to see Obama’s college records, as if he’s applying to graduate school, and not for a second term as President of the United States. The accusations are so absurd that the reflect more on the people making them than they do on the Obama himself.
That’s not to say that there aren’t valid criticisms to be made of Barack Obama. There are, but the most alarming revelations about Obama come from the Left, not the Right. This week, for example, Greenpeace has discovered, within government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, that the Obama Administration purposefully withheld from the American public information about whales that had been killed or covered with oil that came from BP’s Macondo Well, underneath the wrecked Deepwater Horizon offshore oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
Why did Obama cover up this information, falsely minimizing the impact of the oil spill on the ecological integrity of the Gulf of Mexico? Why is Barack Obama now campaigning for the expansion of offshore oil drilling, rather than the restriction of the dangerous practice?
Questions like these were not asked during any of the presidential debates this year. That’s because, in order to achieve electoral victory, the Democratic Party has abandoned commitment to the goal of environmental responsibility IF you want an environmentalist in the White House, Mitt Romney is a poor choice, but Barack Obama isn’t much better.
Hey Green Man – thanks for noticing! The Gulf has been all but forgotten except by those who live there and the few of us that weren’t taken in by the media lies that “all is well.” This spill IS a major disaster and the effects will be felt for decades if it doesn’t just make the Gulf of Mexico a giant dead zone. BP never cleaned up their mess (it was 4500 feet below the surface and all they did was suck up the “sheen” on the surface). Their Corexit dispersant only added more toxic chemicals to the mix, and they basically tried to pull off the biggest scam in oil spill history. Obama covered it up and so did the media and BP.
Yup – and oil has been discovered still leaking out rom the well cap.
I had not heard that whales were covered in oil or killed, so thanks for pointing that out. It is such a shame.
With politics come agendas. Often the public is not informed, or they are told one thing, but another is taking place.
