President Obama knows that agribusiness cannot be trusted with the regulatory powers of government. On the campaign trail in 2007, he promised: We'll tell ConAgra that it's not the Department of Agribusiness. It's the Department of Agriculture. We're going to put the people's interests ahead of the special interests.
But, starting with his choice for USDA Secretary, the pro-biotech former governor of Iowa, Tom Vilsack, President Obama has let Monsanto, Dupont and the other pesticide and genetic engineering companies know they'll have plenty of friends and supporters within his administration.
President Obama has taken his team of food and farming leaders directly from the biotech companies and their lobbying, research, and philanthropic arms:
Michael Taylor

former Monsanto Vice President, is now the FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods.
Roger Beachy

former director of the Monsanto-funded Danforth Plant Science Center, is now the director of the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
Islam Siddiqui

Vice President of theMonsanto and Dupont-fundedpesticide-promoting lobbying group, CropLife, is now the Agriculture Negotiator for the US Trade Representative.
Rajiv Shah

former agricultural-development director for the pro-biotech Gates Foundation (a frequent Monsanto partner), served as Obama's USDA Under Secretary for Research Education and Economics and Chief Scientist and is now head of USAID.
Elena Kagan

who, as President Obama's Solicitor General, took Monsanto's side against organic farmers in the Roundup Ready alfalfa case, is now on the Supreme Court.
Ramona Romero

corporate counsel to DuPont, has been nominated by President Obama to serve as General Counsel for the USDA.













..................and the plot thickens.

Just another refection of ALL the lies Obama told us. ... thats for that list.

It is essential that all people who know people in California to contact them and make them aware of the ballot measure to be voted on Sept 17.

This ballot will determine if GMO foods must be labled in california. We cannot protect ourselves against that which we cannot know. Labeling is essential to wake people up. ... and as they say... as goes California .... so goes the world.

Unfortunately, most politicians are liars.

Could it be that they lie because we let them get away with it?

Hoooo Boy!!

That topic is PhD thesis worthy.

Only two presidential candidates that I know of said, "Social Security is bankrupt; They stole your money and ran with it." And, "We must end the wars. They are counterproductive and expensive."

People wanted to disbelieve the first one so bad that the meaning of the second one was lost. I could weave them both together into a truthful statement that people would want to believe even less.

Oh wait; One other candidate did say he'd end the wars last election. I wonder if he'll say it again this election?

Only if we decide to let him get away with lying again.

Let me guess, Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich? two that never got past the primaries..

Ron Paul and Gary Johnson.


Dennis Kucinich talk these days seems different than his walk when he held office.
