Despite Obama's Lofty Words, Scientific Integrity Rules Are Lagging

Friday, July 9, 2010


"'AFTER"?



Like Obama does everything on his own, no other employees, staff, aides, to actually perform the tasks of running the government?



Barack Obama on 9/25/08 - "A president is capable of doing more than one thing at a time."

Your list is completely out-of-whack, booboo.



For example, Medicare may NOT negotiate with drug manufacturers for cheaper drugs. That didn't make it into the final bill.



And Obama plays word games on torture -- The US is still doing it, still renditioning, and still in violation of the Geneva Convention. US troops executing prisoners in Afghanistan - http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0512/hersh-battlefield-executions-continue-obama/

This "magic" line is old. Get some new material.



Nobody expected "magic" from Obama; just competence and keeping his word.



So far, neither has taken place.

How?



Obama has continued just about every Bush-Cheney policy, and then has gone Bush-Cheney one better (presidential assassination program of American citizens without due process, preventive detention, etc.).



Obama's most ardent supporters are no better than Bushies, and as long as Obamazombies continue to lay their bodies down for him, he will continue to break his promises in an effort to win Republicans' support.

SEC and MMS: A Tale of Two Failures

Thursday, July 8, 2010

Nothing new here.



Where is the outrage, the fury, the calls for action by this administration to get off its a$$ and do what it promised when it ran for the job?



Where's the "fierce urgency of now"?

BP's Incentive: To <em>Not</em> Capture All the Oil


BP only has to pay out $75 million under the law. That hasn‘t been changed, nor is Congress changing the law, eliminating or raising the $75 million cap that currently exists. The side deal that Obama made with BP is extralegal, outside the law, and has no binding legal power. That $20 billion isn't in an escrow account, and is just talk at this point. And word out today is that BP is refusing to pay fishermen's claims. http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/08/smallbusiness/bp_claims_process/



In a meeting in New York last week with the people who are in charge of trying to distribute this money, it was learned that the $20 billion deal has not been escrowed. There hasn‘t been money escrowed at this point at all. Nor would it be securitized. If BP were to move to bankruptcy tomorrow, there‘s no security interest that the US government has in that money. That's what BP told lawyers from eight major law firms that are involved in the litigation last week.
