This really is nuts. If you know anything about Monsanto, you know they are pretty much public enemy #1 when it comes to big corporation processed and genetically modified food production.
Folks, it just keeps getting more insane.
Michael Taylor was just appointed senior advisor to the commissioner of the FDA. This is the same man that was in charge of FDA policy when GMO's were allowed into the US food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety. He "had been Monsanto's attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA [and then] he became Monsanto's Vice President and chief lobbyist. This month [he] became the senior advisor to the commissioner of the FDA. He is now America's food safety czar. This is no joke."
Full story:
Mmmm... GMOs taste GREAT!
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

He's saving the real work for his second term!
Did I miss anything?

I was a member of "The Baby Steps Guild" for some time now.
It's time for Dems to snap out of it: This guy is a lousy president. Period. Full stop.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 8/19/11 at 7:08amOh PalJoey how I wish your statement would come to fruition. Granted Obama hasn't had the utmost cooperation from others as it is, but it's slowly sinking in that I don't think the guy has a clue.

From your finger tips to Hilary's ears.
I supported Hilary completely until she conceded, then I gave Obama my support. I have TRIED my best to stay positive, but I don't think he can come back at this point. I don't think another democrat will legitimately run against him and I don't want a Republican president, so what the heck do we do?

Posted: 8/19/11 at 2:59pmHe has been from day one exactly what he was all along - a corporate puppet to giants like Goldman Sachs and the biggest defense contractors, and a slave to religion. There is no surprise in any of his actions, except to those who saw what they hoped for, instead of what was.

Posted: 8/19/11 at 3:18pmI recently hired a very nice fox to guard my henhouse, and despite what a bunch of naysayers like you all told me, it's working out fine.
