Environmental Disasters Just Waiting To Happen

The well blow out in the Gulf of Mexico near to Louisiana has shown me again that advanced degrees from famous universities don't make a person smart or teach them good judgment. Don't forget, George Bush Jr. graduated from Yale and Harvard Business School.

Barack Obama is intelligent and is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School. But he doesn't have enough sense to pour piss out of a boot.

Anyone with half a brain knows that opening the floodgates to offshore oil drilling is a guarantee of environmental disaster. The same goes for giving enormous government subsidies to the nuclear power industry so they can start building more nuclear power plants. For a politician to support either of these anti-environment policies, he has to be pretty naïve and not real bright, or he is on the take from the corrupt capitalists.

Sometimes I think that Barack Obama is just a Republican wannabe. He certainly is not a liberal or a progressive. If he were he would have supported single payer or at least the far weaker government option. And he would not have radically increased the killing and wasteful spending in Afghanistan. This fellow has not done much to advance the causes of women, poor and middle class people, or people of color. He loaded up his economics team with Bush and Wall Street liars and criminals, and he has followed their sick right-wing advice.

Obama talks a good game. He gives eloquent speeches. But talk is cheap. That old actor and red neck politician Ronald Rayguns could read his lines too; and the guy gave great speeches. The only problem was that his ideas were hard core right-wing and only favored the wealthy.
