” Wilkes is the first person in at least 30 years to be tapped for the job without any background in forest policy, indicating the Obama administration has no specific plans for managing national forests.”
LOL!
Anyone really surprised by this?
Whenever I read about yet-another-incompetent pick I’m reminded of Obama continually hammering away at Bush’s “judgement” during the campaign.
Let me guess his race....
Not at all. He picks a guy that later on he can replace with a "Forest Czar" who WILL take complete control of the national forests and declare them all closed to humans.
Not at all! It takes literally ZERO background in forest policy to say "hey Earth First! and Sierra Club and Greenpeace - what should we do?" All Wilkes has to do is make sure and demand enough payola to the Obamassiah, and then accurately report back the demands of those shuffling the cash...
So easy, even a caveman could do it!
Can’t help it if the list of Democrats that Obama owes favors to is narrow and parochial...
“Favors” are wrong when repubs do it and wrong when dems do it but somehow we the electorate tolerate the practice when “our guy” does the pimping (Michael Brown, Harriet Myers—we got angry and won that one, John Pennington, Hal Stratton, etc...).
