President Obama and his administration continue imitating Dubya and Saint Ronnie's damaging regimes.  Why doesn't he just admit he's a DINO and stop his charade.

It has become increasingly disgusting. 

The latest from the Guardian: "Conservation groups based in Alaska have accused the Obama administration of repeating the mistakes of George Bush after it gave the conditional go-ahead for Shell to begin drilling offshore for oil and natural gas in the environmentally sensitive Beaufort Sea.

"The Minerals Management Service, part of the federal Interior Department, yesterday gave Shell the green light to begin exploratory wells off the north coast of Alaska in an Arctic area that is home to large numbers of endangered bowhead whales and polar bears, as well as walruses, ice seals and other species. The permission would run from July to October next year, though Shell has promised to suspend operations from its drill ship from late August when local Inuit people embark on subsistence hunting.

"Environmentalists condemned the decision to allow drilling, saying it would generate industrial levels of noise in the water and pollute both the air and surrounding water. Rebecca Noblin, an Alaskan specialist with the conservation group the Centre for Biological Diversity, said: "We're disappointed to see the Obama administration taking decisions that will threaten the Arctic. It might as well have been the Bush administration."

"The question of offshore oil drilling in the Arctic was one of the controversial environmental issues that confronted the Bush administration. Its permission for exploration in the Beaufort Sea, widely condemned by environmentalists, was struck down last year by a federal court on grounds that it had failed sufficiently to consider the impacts on bowhead whales and the subsistence activities of Inuit populations.

"There are also fears that any drilling could lead to oil spills which would be impossible to clean up amid the Arctic's broken sea ice."

When the Bush regime tried it there was an outcry; but now that the Obama regime is allowing this destruction of the environment, will Democrats be willing to say this DINO administration is wrong, and move to stop the attempted damage?

As one commenter wrote: "It is just the beginning of President Obama's term. I can just imagine how we are going to feel about him toward the end of his term? If he is already surpassing Reagan as 2nd worst President of our lifetime, he may actually surpass George W as the worst. Let's face it he has 3 more years and he can still reach the number one spot in that time."
