Energy Czar Carol Browner Must Go

Energy czar Carol Browner needs to go the way of disgraced green jobs czar Van Jones: under the bus and stripped ofher unbridled power to destroy jobs and lives in the name of saving the
planet. ASAP.
One of the Beltway's most influential,entrenched and unaccountable left-wing radicals, Browner has now been
called out twice by President Obama's own federal BP oil spill
commission and Interior Department inspector general. How many strikes
should a woman who circumvented the Senate confirmation process and
boasts a sordid history of abusing public office get?
Pushingthe question -- and shining a bright, hot spotlight on Browner's
behind-the-scenes maneuvering -- should be a top priority of the new
House GOP majority. Not least of all because Washington insiders are
still buzzing about possible White House plans to increase her policy
role and elevate her status with Team Obama.
First, the BP oilspill panel dinged her for disseminating misleading information to the
public about the scope of the disaster. In the aftermath of the spill,
she falsely claimed that 75 percent of the spill was "now completely
gone from the system" and falsely claimed that the administration's
August report on the disaster was "peer-reviewed." The false claim
"contributed to public perception" of Browner's calculation as "more
exact and complete" than it was ever designed to be, the oil spill
commission concluded in October.
This week, the InteriorDepartment inspector general singled out Browner's office for
butchering peer-reviewed scientists' conclusions in a key report about
the administration's preordained deepwater drilling moratorium. The
scientists first blew the whistle on the administration's monkey
business this summer. A federal judge sided with the misrepresented
scientists and blasted the Interior Department's big green lie that its
moratorium was "peer-reviewed" and endorsed by "seven experts
identified by the National Academy of Engineering."
As the court concluded: "Although the experts agreed with the safetyrecommendations contained in the body of the main Report, five of the
National Academy experts and three of the other experts have publicly
stated that they 'do not agree with the six month blanket moratorium'
on floating drilling."
It was Browner's office behind thehatchet job. After cutting, pasting and tweaking the drilling
moratorium report, one of Browner's staff members sent a 2 a.m. e-mail
back to the Interior Department on May 27 with edited versions that
implied that the outside scientists endorsed the moratorium. The
Interior Department inspector general tip-toed around Browner's
responsibility for fudging the truth, using passive language to
describe how the edited versions "caused the distinction" between what
the administration wanted and what the scientists believed "to become
effectively lost."
Nonsense. The distinction didn't "become"lost. Browner's office disappeared it, doctored it and obliterated it.
Browner's wordsmiths played Mad Libs with the report until it fit their
agenda. There was "no intent to mislead the public," Browner's office
claims. But this eco-data doctoring fits a long pattern of politicized
science over which Browner has presided.
While head of theClinton administration's EPA, she ordered a staffer to purge and delete
her computer files to evade a public disclosure lawsuit. Lambasted by
the judge for "contumacious" behavior and contempt of court, Browner
claimed it was all an innocent mistake -- and blamed her young son for
downloading games on her work computer that she was trying to erase.
During her tenure as EPA chief, she was also caught by a congressional
subcommittee using taxpayer funds to create and send out illegal
lobbying material to more than 100 grassroots environmental lobbying
organizations. Browner exploited her office to orchestrate a political
campaign by left-wing groups, who turned around and attacked Republican
lawmakers for supporting regulatory reform.
According to theleft-leaning Atlantic, Obama has increasingly relied on Browner's
counsel on issues beyond her environmental portfolio. Which means he's
listening to her advice and strategizing on how to apply her
truth-fudging, transparency-evading tactics to the rest of the economy
and domestic policy.
Browner, a darling of left-wingbillionaire George Soros' environmental justice circles and the wife of
a top energy lobbyist, is a dangerous woman whose ideological zeal has
helped power the Democrats' war on prosperity. Sunlight, as always, is
the best disinfectant -- and a much-needed monkey wrench in the Obama
job-killing machine.

Obama's intent is to destroy the USA as quickly as possible before he is dragged out of the office and hanged.

The left at home and abroad claims the high ground in environmental matters. The communist trouble makers in Europe always hold the green flag high. BUT: has anyone in
non-communist/socialost countries ever REALLY looked at the
environmental disasters the former Soviet Union and their satellites in
Europe and Africa caused? Alexandr Solzhenyitsin was kicked out of the
Soviet Union in 1973 because of an open letter he wrote to the communist
rulers in the Soviet union. He published the letter underground
(samizdat) and smuggled it out to publish it in Western Democracies (it
is available in English). By 1973 he had a world wide reputation, he was
highly respected and it was simpler for the Soviets to put him on a
plane (minus his family, plus some KGB thugs)and exile him. Now the
American and Western environmental bleeding hearts are like
watermellons: green on the outside, red in the inside.
