Salazar Stuns Oil Spill Hearing
13th July 2010
Read it.
There were some unusual moments during the first hearing of the presidential commission on the BP-Deepwater Horizon accident. And no, we’re not talking about the speakers who showed up claiming to represent the Communist Party. Or the witness who pulled out a guitar and crooned a song about the accident.
Sometimes Congress is the most entertaining thing around.
No, the really odd moment came when Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement that he was looking to the commission for information that could inform the administration’s position on halting deepwater drilling.
Salazar’s statement stunned the commission’s two co-chairmen, William K. Reilly and Bob Graham, who said they had been assured by Salazar’s office and the White House that giving advice on the moratorium wasn’t their job.
Oh, gee, the Obama administration lied to you? How could that happen? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.

I’m not sure which is worse: the systematic destruction of the Constitution by the Obama Marxists, or that they are so confused and unskilled that they can’t perform the most simple of government functions without screwing up. Is this the New Marx Brothers – Karl, Harpo, and Chico? Where did they park the short bus that they rode into town?
