It is said that you can judge a man by the company he keeps, so is it a stretch to judge the intentions of President Obama’s domestic and foreign policies by the people he has appointed to his administration?
Most have already heard about Van Jones, who resigned from his post of Environmental Czar due to his links to communism and the 9/11 conspiracy nuts. And some have heard about Cass Sunstein, the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, who believes animals should have the same rights as people. But there are so many more Obama advisers with out-of-the-mainstream beliefs that it is becoming extremely difficult to keep up with the revelations.
Over the course of the next few weeks, I will share some thoughts on what these people can tell us about the President’s potential policies. Some of my thoughts may seem whacky, but as we rang in 2009, who would have thought that the government would take over the banks and two automobile companies within a few short months?
1. Lisa P. Jackson and the EPA
On April 17, 2009, the EPA found that six man-made “greenhouse gases are contributing to air pollution that may endanger public health and welfare.”[1] One of the main culprits is carbon dioxide – the very carbon dioxide that each of us exhales with every breath we take throughout our lives.
If our breaths are killing our planet, isn’t it the EPA’s responsibility, as the governmental agency responsible for protecting our environment, to try to decrease the number of breaths exhaled by Americans over our lifetimes? Could this be the logic behind ObamaCare, under which rationing of healthcare by government bureaucrats will be the only way to keep costs from exploding? Perhaps this is also the reason that President Obama has been such a firm abortion-advocate during his entire political career.
In an August 28, 2009 article on the Huffington Post[2], the Obama-appointed EPA Administrator, Lisa P. Jackson, said that poor Americans are significantly more affected by this man-caused air pollution, which she implies is primarily caused by richer Americans.
If richer Americans are causing most of the greenhouse gases, couldn’t we eliminate greenhouse gases by lowering economic prosperity so there are fewer richer Americans? Could this be the logic behind allowing the economic recession to continue to worsen? Additionally, this completely explains why then-Candidate Obama expressed his desire to “spread the wealth around.”
