I had to shorten the title. Should read:

Obama Energy Department: The Law Prevents Us From Doing What We Want, Therefore the Law Doesn’t Apply

Very interchangeable!

Obama Justice Department: The Law Prevents Us From Doing What We Want, Therefore the Law Doesn’t Apply

Obama Health & Human Services Department: The Law Prevents Us From Doing What We Want, Therefore the Law Doesn’t Apply

Obama Homeland Security Department: The Law Prevents Us From Doing What We Want, Therefore the Law Doesn’t Apply

The Department of Energy should be required to change its Official name to the Department of Energy Depredation since it is No longer capable of doing the Job Congress gave it during the 1970’s.

I think the DOE’s Funding should be killed.Why are we providing billions in funding to an agency of the Federal Government that Fails to do its Prime Function and that is to find and Create energy.

What is truly priceless is the administration’s claim that the law had to be ignored because “investors are unlikely to make an equity investment in a distressed company on commercially acceptable terms” if they’re not given this protection, and therefore to execute the law faithfully (that little thing the executive branch is supposed to do) would “preclude the use of a common restructuring strategy.”

What makes this even more precious is that this very same administration did EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY NOW CLAIM THEY HAVE TO DO with the auto company government take overs. Rather than give the LEGAL protections to the investors, the administration knowingly broke bankruptcy laws in order to give controlling interest in GM and Chrysler to Obama supporters, while screwing the actual investors!

They can't even break the law consistently!
