Tom Vilsack: A Different Kind of Agriculture Tie

by: DocJess

Thu Dec 18, 2008 at 08:41:46 AM EST


Already unhinged as I am over Rick Warren (see Quick Hits) and Ray LaHood (see post below), now comes word that Tom Vilsack has received over $40, 000 in farm subsidies. Not to mention this Politico item:
Vilsack is a partner at a lobbying law firm that trumpeted his advice to clients on agribusiness development and renewable energy – a job that appears to bump up against Obama’s promise to bar appointees from working on issues related to their employment for two years.
It's hard to know what to say.

somebody needs to get THE MAN back on track.... (0.00 / 0)
what is going on? you know, he has made a few MAJOR picks of which i had my doubts, but kept saying "trust THE MAN" but now, with these "little" choices, i am beginning to wonder who is advising him? why is he going in directions that are counterproductive to his campaign?

i am still prepared to be very happy with this administration, but it is beginning to remind me of the post  election readjustment we went through with clinton, where he ran as a center left, but quickly abandonded the left and governed as a centrist.

i hope obama doesnt forget about social justice, human rights and world peace, and true green energy independence, health care and ending the war in iraq!


Rick Warren (0.00 / 0)
Actually, I've come to grips with the Warren pick, after reading a very interesting analysis over at electoral-vote.com
http://www.electoral-vote.com/...
(scroll down to the last news paragraph)
Remember, Obama is smart.  he's thinking differently and I suspect it will pay off in the long run.
