    Yes, BUT, Obama is the one who CLAIMS to be the big friend of the environment. Bush has been out of office for a LONG time and Obama has had the opportunity to solve this. His administration could do that now, in a matter of minutes, so yes, now it is 100% his fault. IF it continues into ANOTHER...

    Those locks in Chicago will not be closed. Certain people in Chicago are having their profits protected by the administration.

    When the FBI comes calling.

    IF he was doing his job he did. When I got my clearances for the Agency they had to send a person to every duty station I was at when I was in the Army, including Japan. A proper clearance costs a LOT of money and can take months. I doubt there are many politicians who could pass that kind of...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    The cost of that "Subsidy" is being paid by everyone, and there are millions, who have had their rates go up to make up the difference. There is no such thing as a FREE RIDE. What it comes down to is that SOMEONE ELSE is paying for those who are getting subsidized. Do not forget that those who...

    I think you kinda are missing the point. It is not ONLY the "fishermen" who will be hurt. They have the potential of wiping out EVERY native species, including plants, fish and animals that depend on the water in the Great Lakes. The Asian carp were brought as a management tool for aqua farms...

    Asian carp, carp in general, are not native to North America. Many invasive species were brought in, by government, to "FIX" nature. Just like the Asian carp. Not that ANY of this matters, nothing is going to be done and the ecosystem will be altered to the point where it will no longer...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    The loans are coming due. I don't want to do this to my granddaughter. What was, and is being done, is criminal. 17 TRILLION and counting. It would not take much at this point to bring the house of cards to fall.

    What would be your solution? They already have a special "beetle" that only eats "purple loosestrife", an invasive plant species that is destroying native marsh plants and what is left of our marshes. They are working on a similar "biological" solution for "phragmites", another invasive plant...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    ALL of the "benefit" programs are broke. Monies wasted, stolen etc. They are all now running on "borrowed" money, since the taxes can no longer support them in full. They are all "Ponzi" schemes, much like the Madoff cons, and the time has come for the fraud to begin showing up. It is caught up...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    No it's not. It is paid for by tax dollars. There is NO such thing as free. Everything has to be paid for by someone. Those "someones" are those of us who work. We earn the wages, the government takes it from us, and gives it to those who did not earn it. That is exactly how it works.

    They are working on it. Not sure why you would find it horrible. Getting rid of an invasive species that is capable of destroying an entire ecosystem would be a good thing. The problem is that there is little interest in the environment, other than "global warming". The ONLY reason there it the...

    When the FBI comes calling.

    IF that agent was doing his job YOU would have been checked out as well. When I got my clearances they checked out my references and sometimes another layer deep below that. Few politicians could pass a real security clearance background check. None of our presidents could have for a long time.

    Yeah.....I Expressed MY Opinion..........

    "(which is why I believe that you need to be an actual expediter in order to participate in the EO Soapbox, since generally those who cause the most trouble in the Soapbox aren't even expediters)." Too bad this is not the case.

    Everyone is aware. Those who can do something don't care. It is about who spends money on campaigns. The president, and those he controls, have shown repeatedly that that don't care about environmental issues, IF, they could cost profits for big campaign donors. Same can be said for MOST...

    Before good GPS

    We try to pre-plan our route. Not one GPS we have gets it right. Sometimes they can be as much as 50 miles difference between the two, for the same trip.

    Before good GPS

    Our GPS systems have sent us off on wild goose chases more than once. Brand, truck unit, makes no difference. We use 2 GPS receivers at all times and check all routes against the trucker atlas.

    Here you go! More PORK! More studies and nothing being done. All they need to do is sever all man made connections between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi. Just close the locks. That does not take BILLIONS of dollars, years of study or more wasted years of studies. Tab to keep Asian carp...

    The last plan I read states they are planning to do something by 2017, and that cannot happen in time. Funny how they ALWAYS show their true colors once in office. They are waiting until it is too late, on purpose.
