Obama To Open Up 1.8 Million Alaskan Acres To Oil Drilling


If Obama were legitimate, if he wasn't a corporate t00I, he'd fire Salazar.



Salazar put 53 million offshore acres up for lease in the Gulf in his first year alone. An all time high. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/111965?RS_show_page=0



Salazar helped open up the Gulf for drilling, including the lease bloc that BP drilled, WHEN HE WAS A SENATOR. He's always been for drilling and Obama & Salazar went full speed ahead as soon as they got in office and then they pushed for more offshore drilling.



Do you know that Ken Salazar was a US Senator prior to becoming Obama's Secretary of the Interior? Do you know what his record was as senator?



As a senator, Salazar voted to end protections that limit offshore oil drilling in Florida's Gulf Coast. http://www.lcv.org/images/client/pdfs/LCV_2006_Scorecard_final.pdf



He also voted against increasing fuel-efficiency standards (CAFE) for cars and trucks, a vote that the League of Conservation Voters notes is anti-environment. In the same year, Salazar voted against an amendment to repeal tax breaks for ExxonMobil and other major petroleum companies.

Salazar was one of only a handful of Democrats to vote against a bill that would require the United States Army Corps of Engineers to consider global warming when planning water projects. http://www.lcv.org/scorecard/2007.pdf
