"Meet Monsanto's number one lobbyist: Barack Obama"

[Addison]

(NaturalNews) During his 2008 campaign for president, Barack Obama transmitted signals that he understood the GMO issue. Several key anti-GMO activists were impressed. They thought Obama, once in the White House, would listen to their concerns and act on them.

These activists weren't just reading tea leaves. On the campaign trail, Obama said: "Let folks know when their food is genetically modified, because Americans have a right to know what they're buying."

Making the distinction between GMO and non-GMO was certainly an indication that Obama, unlike the FDA and USDA, saw there was an important line to draw in the sand.

Beyond that, Obama was promising a new era of transparency in government. He was adamant in promising that, if elected, his administration wouldn't do business in "the old way." He would be "responsive to people's needs."

Then came the reality

7. Natural News is always good for a laugh

I suppose even the crazies deserve an outlet.

8. Bullshit?... lets roll the tape:

Video is FOREVER!

One of the very first things President Obama did was to appoint Tom "Mr Monsanto" Vilsack to the cabinet position of Sec of Agriculture. Tom Vilsack, former Governor of Iowa,
whose state flower is Genetically Modified Corn, and known for monocrop factory farming,
never met a dollar from Monsanto that he didn't like.

Google: Tom Vilsack & Monsanto

That single appointment was a slap in the face to those who supported Obama because of his phony campaign commitment to Sustainable, Healthy, Decentralized production of the FOOD we eat.

....but Michele planted an "organic" garden at the White House!!!!
I guess even the Obama's are afraid to eat the food produced by the Factory Farms,
but it must be good enough for the Pawns.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their promises or excuses.

10. So, you accuse Vilsak of being Mr. Monsanto for unspoken reasons...

... and Obama is the #1 lobbyist for Monsanto because he appointed Vilsak to be Sec of Ag.

Who could possibly argue with that?

[bvar22]

12. There is more....much more.

The USDA and FDA are infested with former Execs and Lobbyists for Monsanto.

For a really nasty piece of Monsanto hell,
Obama appointed Michael Taylor to head up the FDA.

"• Michael R. Taylor was an assistant to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner before he left to work for a law firm on gaining FDA approval of Monsanto’s artificial growth hormone in the 1980s. Taylor then became deputy commissioner of the FDA from 1991 to 1994.[27] Taylor was later re-appointed to the FDA in August 2009 by President Barack Obama.[135]

• Dr. Michael A. Friedman was a deputy commissioner of the FDA before he was hired as a senior vice president of Monsanto.[27]

• Linda J. Fisher was an assistant administrator at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before she was a vice president at Monsanto from 1995 to 2000. In 2001, Fisher became the deputy administrator of the EPA.[27]

This wouldn't be so worrisome IF voices from the Safe Food, Sustainable Framing Communities, Organic Foods, and decentralized Multi-Crop Farming were represented in these agencies to counter balance Monsanto,
but they aren't.
Like Obama's other cabinet appointments, they are exclusively from MOnsanto or orher Factory Farming advocacy.

13. Ok. So what is the upshot of this?

I'm curious what has happened to this country since being taken over by Monsanto.

[bvar22]

14. The Upshot?

Go sit down somewhere and think about it.
The "upshot" is clear to those who do so.

[Buzz Clik]

15. Yeah. No doubt.

[KurtNYC]

9. GMO should stand for: Give Me Organic !

[Buzz Clik]

11. Do you buy exclusively organic?
