"We were hoping that NOAA under the Obama administration would actually adopt the precautionary principle that's built into the Endangered Species Act," said attorney Brendan Cummings. "But unfortunately, when it comes to Arctic policy, they're largely indistinguishable from the Bush administration."

It is becoming clear that Obama is just another politician in Sheep's clothing... There are so many pockets being lined with stimulus money, with no accountability like he said there would be. Lies Lies Lies... I am just so disappointed.
