Top Obama Environmental Official Departs “Frustrated” Over Pipeline, Inaction On Climate

12. I wonder if it is possible anymore for a real environmentalist to make to the

WH, or if they did, is it possible for them to implement policies THEY believe are for the good of the planet? I get the feeling that there is no way anyone can make it to the WH unless they have made it clear they are willing to do the bidding of those who are actually running the country now?

When Obama went back on his campaign position on offshore drilling without even an 'I'm sorry' to those who put so much trust in him, I was shocked. Mostly by his slamming of environmentalists in his statements about that decision. I remember him saying that he was now in possession of up-to-date information on how progress had made and there was no chance of an Oil Rig causing the kind of damage caused by the Exxon Valdez. He basically insulted every Democrat who fought to keep that ban in place by claiming they were living in the past and did not know what he knew now.

And 18 days later tragically, he was proven wrong, and they were proven right. 11 men died when that oil rig did exactly what he said would not happen according to the 'brilliant' advisers he supposedly had. But he never apologized to the people he insulted and who were right.
