Another Painful Speech...

[Econoline]

Wow, Obama just can't win. Now opponents of fracking apparently are royally pissed at Obama for his "full-throated advocacy for fracked natural gas and oil"!

Jim? Dave?...this the the same speech in which you apparently heard him say just the opposite. What gives?

Apparently educated people think it was a good speech and a good idea.

4 former EPA chiefs who served Republican presidents. For example.

Only apparently educated though.

You cannot actually read, can you?

The EPA chiefs of four Republican presidents. Were you able to parse that? Or was that too much for you?

Oh, that's easily explained; fanatics are never satisfied if you're basically on their side; if you're not 110% with them you are totally against them. (These types exist on both sides.)

We should strengthen our position as the top natural gas producer because, in the medium term at least, it not only can provide safe, cheap power, but it can also help reduce our carbon emissions.

If that qualifies as "full throated advocacy" in their book, remind me never to ask them to offer me "full throated advocacy"...

What that statement expresses is a grudging willingness to compromise ideology with reality...

Fanatics hate that; they want no compromises with reality....
