Not only that, but two summers back, when activists convinced Tom Vilsack, who heads Department of Agriculture, that GM alfalfa should require a designated buffer zone, and Vilsack agreed, Obama immediately sent ten people from the WH over to twist Vilsack's arm into realizing that he either collude with industry and ignore activists desire to have that buffer zone, or else start looking for a different line of work.
