It sure sounds that way. What a vile human being.
Water in California’s San Joaquin Valley was essentially turned off because the Obama administration values smelt over people. It’s been devastating to the economy. But now it looks like they value destroying freedom more than they value the smelt.
Wizbang: But now the president’s health care reforms are on the ropes and the San Joaquin Valley’s two blue-dog Democratic congressmen Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa have been reluctant to support the president’s reforms. So imagine everyone’s surprise when the Department of the Interior announced yesterday that it is dramatically increasing the water supply to the valley’s parched lands. And what a coincidence, now the two California congressmen who were once “undecided” are being moved over into the “yes” column:
[...]
But nowhere has his indifference been more obvious than with this apparent water deal. The once lush and fertile Central Valley has been a barren waste land for months and the president did nothing to help the restore the land or the people living there, who over the months have been made virtually destitute. They were invisible. That is, until he needed their congressmen’s votes for his health care reform package. Only then did the valley finally get the water it desperately needed.
Who’s to say the Obama folks won’t shut the water off again once ObamaCare passes?
Welcome American Thinker readers!
Back in Septmeber, Boxer and Feinstein voted against water.”On the Senate floor, a clearly unhappy Feinstein likened the surprise amendment to Pearl Harbor and she voiced dismay that it would be brought up without her prior knowledge” The Republicans had offered an amendment in support of water, which was voted down along party lines. Bye Bye Smelt, Hello Obamacare.

What really happened is the Oregon farmers are getting their water from Klamath river tributaries cut and the largest tributary, the Trinity River, will continue to provide at least 2,500,000 acre feet to the souther SJ Valley, and more if they can steal it. In Oregon, cutting water got Democrat votes, and in California, allowing diversion of water that sorely impacts ESA listed species is increased. The loser is Chinook salmon, more so than Delta smelt, and that loss extends clear to the Columbia River because both Sac-SJ salmon are caught in the ocean off Oregon as are Klamath River and Trinity River stocks, both included in the Klamath River restoration plans. Egregious misuse of water for political purposes to buy votes is just what we expect from the slime bag of spent calamari named Pelosi…She who has denied wage protections for Marshall Islanders who man her husband’s tuna canneries, is hard at the extinction of salmon and all the species dependent upon a healthy SF Bay, and the estuarial plume from runoff to the ocean. Just another San Francisco madame, pimping for the President. And the ESA be damned!!!
