Redistribution of salmon. And then only let the indians fish, with no limit.

How does he come up with these hair brain ideas? He is obsessed and just itching for a fight. This one takes the cake.

First, there was the Cash for Clunkers where perfectly good cars were destroyed for no reason and now we’re destroying dams and flooding people’s homes for fish. How about we just do an airlift of the salmon on Marine One between Hussein’s weekend outings.

All that matters to The One is his systematic, deliberate, step-by-step dismantling in every way possible of the economy, foreign relations, defenses, energy supply employment and vital infrastructure of the United States of America.

These folks won't be happy until every vestige of civilized society is either removed or destroyed.

I would suggest that these folks are trying to take us back to the "Garden of Eden" however, they are mostly atheist folks.

Removal of dams and human habitation throughout the great lakes basin is one of the goals of the group headed by the great lakes czar.

Also, Michigan is one of the few states that hasn’t handed control of our wetlands to the feds. Jenny Granholm wants to change that.

That's exactly what they want. Destroying dams not only destroys homes, but reduces the electricity generating capacity.

Last night, the power went out in the section of town where I live (it's an old system and occasionally parts of the grid go out) and when I was outside in the darkness with my neighbors, it occurred to me that all Obama really has to do to cripple this country and throw us down to Third World status is destroy our electricity supply.

I seriously think that's his objective.

no offense, but why are these fish more important that the folks that rely on the energy?

Hydro electric is clean, cheap and efficient. So why would they want to get rid of it? The crazies have taken over.

Why not! Next year when there is worldwide food shortages because the San Joaquin Valley is now a DESERT, we can rejoice that a minnow has been saved.

So then we can rejoice when the upper northwest US is having brownouts, salmon have been saved.

I’m for saving the salmon run, it’s an important part of our ecosystem, but there IS a compromise.

Wonder if and when the average person is going to come to the conclusion that they are environmentalists until they have to live like a bear in the wild and have to actually hunt for their vegan foods in the woods.

I’ve learned to mistrust claims about fish being seriously harmed by dams in many cases.

The alliance for the great lakes speaks with great pride about the removal of a small dam here in Michigan. They claim that the trout have returned to the river. The problem is that the trout were never gone from the river. A decade ago I used to go trout fishing both above and below the dam.

I wonder how those lame brained democrates who voted for the Zero will feel when their lights go out or better still, when they pay about a buck for every kilowatt that is produced under the heavily taxed cap and trade concept?

I guess the guy who favors removal of the dams does not know that electricity is fungible along the grid so while there maybe extra electricity for Washington State when the dams are producing, it goes to a near by state using fossil fuels.

Beam me up Scottie.
