Barack Obama Promises to Veto Bill That Will Provide Water To Central California Drought Region
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 29, 2012 | Jim Hoft

In December 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued what is known as a “biological opinion” imposing water reductions on the San Joaquin Valley and environs to safeguard the federally protected hypomesus transpacificus, a.k.a., the delta smelt. As a result, tens of billions of gallons of water from mountains east and north of Sacramento was channelled away from farmers and into the ocean, leaving hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land fallow or scorched.

Progressives live by brilliant thoughts and must protect the earth from mean, greedy capitalists who want to exploit all that exists for the sake of evil profits. Ya know?

I am sure sometime in October this administration will approve the oil pipeline and allow California to use this water....

After all, they need every vote they can beg borrow and steal

If he wins....oops....sorry no go....No oil or water for you

Obama will be the Soup Nazi on steroids...unless you are a union thug or a left wing front group...

California voted for the kenyan in ‘08 and probably will again this year, so they’re getting what they want and deserve.

The farming area of the inner valley votes Republican. I suspect that is the real reason the state and feds turned the water off.

I’d bet there are quite a few that won’t this time. Same in several cities at least.
He has stepped on too many people’s livelihoods.

Sure there are still the bribing, and fraud that will go on but I
have to believe that down deep in Americans hearts, they want him gone.

I think the fascist are going to get a big surprise. Whether there will be enough to make a difference I don’t know. I hope so. I hope it will be such a surprise they’ll fall on their knees and cry.

The sad fact that California, my state, voted this bummer in, just shows this state doesn’t know on which side of their bread is buttered. Pray for enlightenment.

I grew up on 20 acres of vineyards 200 acres of orchards in the Central Valley. I'm so glad my dad didn't live long enough to see his livelihood shrivel up over this.

He was one of the louder voices in Sacramento on behalf of the farmers in his day so this would be particularly devastating to him.

Amen Brother:

That’s what this is about. Bringing America down.

Obama’s claim to be for jobs is proven a lie by his actions to put more people out of work.
