Another Radical for Obama
Posted by: Dwayne Horner at 4:13 PM

An editorial in today's Washington Times highlights David Michaels -- President Obama's nominee to head the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).  As the Times describes Mr. Michaels, he is "a virulently anti-business
epidemiologist" who "is one the nation's foremost proponents of allowing junk science to be used in jackpot-justice lawsuits."

You might remember that a couple months ago I wrote about BPA,  an innovative chemical for plastics which radical environmentalists have unfairly targeted.

Well, it turns out David Michaels was also one of the zealots behind
the anti-BPA junk-science scare campaign which has cost Americans untold numbers of jobs -- and has lined the pockets of trial lawyers with millions of dollars from the pockets of hard-working parents who bought into his fear campaign.

The Senate must reject David Michaels' nomination to head OSHA.

I don't believe it
Barack Obama would never nominate or appoint anyone to either advise him or serve as a member of his cabinet who held "radical," out of the mainstream views. Obama is pragmatic, he is a centrist, he is bipartisan and a "uniter" not a "divider." Just ask the mainstream press, they'll back me up.

Nope, I can't believe Obama would ever have a radical in his administration, just wouldn't be transparent.

Common Sense
Sounds like another obama pick has no common sense and has an agenda, sounds like business will take another hit, and lawyers will profit.

pick somebody that can grow a decent beard, what is that on his face?

Can This Guy Pick Them Or What?

Why not free Charles Manson and appoint him Prison Czar.

Put the Black Panthers in charge of the Civil Rights Department.

Gather all those Hollywood/HipHop fools who made that dopey "I Pledge" video. Make them Education Czars.

I can see it.

In fact, Obama's radical, socialist advisors have probably made those same recommendations. Par for the course in the Obama White House?

It's right on target.

You Little Jordan You.

You've been reading The N.Y. Obama Times and L.A. Obama Times again. By the way, did you notice the masthhead of those papers. Look closely. Right at the top you'll see the sickle and hammer.

Van Jones adores those papers.

Hey, Jordan. There goes your little friend right now, heading to the Unemployment Office. Hurry. Maybe you can catch Comrade Jones.

You two make a great pair.

You deserve each other, too.

Glenn Beck will turn his attention to this guy soon enough...

Glen Beck
Jerry Springer of the pseudo political talk.

I hear Jerry Springer has a loyal audience too.


Big Sky Cowboy writes: Monday, September, 07, 2009 9:54 PM

Springer is a left wing loon, so far what Beck has said has been true, just ask Mr. Jones wherever he is.
coopmeister writes: Monday, September, 07, 2009 10:00 PM
Beck, right?
Beck said "said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

What's up with that?
Big Sky Cowboy writes: Monday, September, 07, 2009 10:23 PM

obama has made comments regarding his grandmother being a typical white woman, comments about people that have influenced him, I think you can see there are questions about obama when he calls a police dept. stupid because his friend is arrested without knowing the circumstances, in some cases you can question obama's deep feelings. I can.

The Center for American Progress is like a cancer cell in our lymphatic system.

This cancer must be removed and destroyed.

David Michaels Is Obama
He is another in a long list of radical anti business, green, global warming freaks.

This nut job actually believes in global warming or as the say the global climate crisis.

What a crock of socialist shiite. obama marches on and so we must oppose him at every turn.

Patrice writes: Tuesday, September, 08, 2009 12:12 AM
Clean it all up
Freeze all appointments and suspend these appointees (czars) until they have been vetted and have complete background checks. I suspect that many of these people will not be able to pass the same background check that other Federal employees who work in the white house must pass.
Where is the TRANSPARENCY we were promised? All I have seen so far is treachery and a complete disregard for the American people.

If Beck is so 'Springer' why is Jones so gone?

Springer never forced a White House decision.

Unless he introduced Bill to Monica....

Revenge of the Radicals
Is it me or is this like a National Lampoon movie? The humor and buffoonishness is certainly there (if it wasn't so scary, though!). Seriously, watching radical idealogues operate in a capitalistic system so foreign to their ways has been insightful. James Madison and the Framers would be shaking their heads in disbelief!

High school student council
That's what you got here, all the ate up self-styled radicals who wanted to take over the school board and do away with homework and teach US oppression of the Third World...oh, wait.
