Another Radical for Obama
Sep 07, 2009 04:13 PM EST
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-businessepidemiologist" 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.
