The Misadventures of Secretary Salazar

Colorado Peak Politics ^ | Feb 24, 2011

Salazar's incompetent fumbling of the Deepwater Horizons disaster embarrassed the Obama Administration, and led to the ouster of Salazar's Chief of Staff, infamous Colorado "lawyer-lobbyist" Tom Strickland.

Now it seems he’s stepped in it again.

Salazar's recently unveiled “Wild Lands” decree has shown him to be nothing more than a stooge for Obama, willing to do an end-run around Congress and stop use of land through regulatory fiat. This new BLM policy will allow federal land to be managed as “wilderness” without Congressional approval, a break from the current process.

Continuing his penchant for transparent mismanagement

Salazar needs to be dragged from Washington by his feet and deposited in the middle of the most desolate part of northwestern Colorado, right on top of OUR 1.3 to 1.5 TRILLION barrels of recoverable oil.

The Obama admin isn’t embarassed, Obama is pleased. Salazar did his job perfectly. And while the media concentrated on Egypt, a federal judge found Salazar and co. in contempt of court for not lifting the offshore drilling ban as ordered.

Have they now lifted it or are they still in contempt of court?

He came to my county right before the elections. Our socialist democrat representative, Peter DeFazio, arranged a meeting of the timber companies and the enviormentalists. He came in with his hat and cowboy boots and talked about he grew up in rural CO and knows about natural resources.

It was a campaign appearance for DeFazio, giving hope to our 25% county unemployment and it was all a big lie.
