62. I can't help it - I read it and what interested me was thaqt

Jul 2013

The quote the Chronicle reporters made had to do with Obama saying that the Keystone Pip0leine had to go through for the good of poor people who might not be able to keep up with their utility bills. It was not my opinion - it was a quote. And I re-read and re-read that section of the newspaper, as what Obama was telling re[porters was in contrast to what gets printed here on DU.

Sorry I didn't keep the hard copy.

However, as we have observed with all the Big Important Appointments, and also in keeping with what film maker Josh Fox noted about Obama's "Environmental Climate Change Speech," the man is all about natrual gas, fracking, and supporitng Big Energy. Basically he is owned by Big Finance, and Big Energy.

If you wanna change my mind, then please offer up some names of some appointments that show him to care about the Middle Class. About the only decent appointments he has made, that show any consideration for us in the middle class are his appointment of Neal Barofsky, and also Van Jones.[/h2][/font color=blue]
