OLBERMANN BLASTS OBAMA ON CLEAN AIR

OBAMA would rather lick corporate butt again than reduce smog!?! Who can defend this? Olbermann said that Obama had given a huge gift to polluters and corporations, and had delivered an equally large "whack across the knees" to his base. "Who on earth in the White House thinks this is a positive for them and in which delusional parallel universe do they live?" he asked.

Where are the clergy on this? Obama and corporate polluters are defiling God's green earth--yet religious leaders say nothing? I guess that offering plate doesn't get too full if they are too controversial and suggest outrageous,conspiratorial lefty ideas like fresh air to breath.

Honestly, how does anyone sleep at night knowing that for some short-term profit they'd kill our one atmosphere? Not to mention that an election is coming up and Obama is the candidate most likely to respect the environment. This has nothing to do with party--this is self preservation, baby!

FROM HUFFPO:



Keith Olbermann excoriated President Obama on his Friday show for halting the impending toughening of environmental regulations against smog.

The announcement from the White House that it would keep widely criticized 2006 regulations in place until at least 2013 did not sit well with Olbermann. In the voiceover introduction to his show, he thundered, "what the hell is going on in the White House?"

Olbermann said that Obama had given a huge gift to polluters and corporations, and had delivered an equally large "whack across the knees" to his base.

"It seems, in short, to reduce his campaign logic to 'what are you going to do, vote for Rick Perry?'" Olbermann said.
