| WASHINGTON -- Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will leave the Obama administration in March, an Obama administration official said Wednesday. Salazar has run the Interior Department throughout President Barack Obama´s first term. Before joining the Cabinet, he served as a senator from Colorado. Salazar began his tenure with a pledge to help reduce America´s dependence on foreign oil. He told his confirmation hearing he would seek to expand renewable energy on public lands and promote the "wise use" of traditional energy sources. He is the latest Cabinet secretary

Why is he leaving? The media is remarkably incurious. Paving the way for a full-throated leftist to run the department no doubt.

Why do narrow minded, agenda driven people like Salazar always speak of "wise use" and smart solutions when they have no clue of what is wise or smart?
Safe to bet that Salazar´s replacement will be an elitist woman who looks like the bump on the log that she is trying to protect. She´ll speak of "doing this for future generations" without the least concern for the current population of Americans. As always, its for the future children that Obama is feverishly working to prevent.

There have been murmurs out there for Rep. Raul Grijalva to replace him. Just when you think you couldn´t get someone worse than Salazar you see this. Grijalva is one of the most vile humans to walk this earth. He is a member of MEChA and a member of the "progressive" (Communist) caucus. The link provides information on this:

Can´t wait to read Michelle Malkin´s article on the entire list of egregious crimes committed by this Marxist Secretary.
Most corrupt administration ever, a short list includes:
Lisa Jackson - Richard Windsor fake email account to cover up her "war on coal".
Hilda Solis - 5 billion dollar in overpayment of unemployment benefits to swing states that elected the One.
Ken Salazar - a list that would not fit into this space.
Criminals who will never pay for their crimes against the citizens of our country.

FTA: A former senator from Colorado, Salazar pushed renewable power such as solar and wind, but gained the most attention for his role in the drilling moratorium, a key part of the administration´s response to the April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico. It was one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history and led to the unprecedented shutdown of offshore drilling.
The moratorium was justified with a report signed by a panel of experts commissioned by the administration. The report recommended the moratorium. The report was fraudulent, as salazar added the part about the moratorium after the panel signed the document. salazar belongs in jail. salazar is a criminal.

Outside of Denver and Boulder, he´s despised here in Colorado. He´s an 0bama butt licker of the first magnitude.
He´s like Ward Churchhill - an Indian wannabee. Salazar´s lineage and ethnicity are Portuguese with only about 20% Indian.
When I was a kid, I could pat my mouth and say "Woo - Woo - Woo" thus making me an Indian too.

Great news. First Lisa Jackson, now Salazar, and -- let´s all pray -- next, Chu at energy. We would rid the economy and us taxpayers of the triuvirate of morons who insist wind farms will light, heat, and cool our homes. Billions for cronies, but one cent for common sense. Jobs lost, futures ruined, soaring prices -- but, hey they were making Robert Redford happy and the Algores rich. Anthropogenic warming is a scam in guise of phony ´sceince.´ Too bad they don´t do either math or science at the Ivies. Two down, one more to go!

#1, too bad. It looks like the Creep in a Cowboy Hat™ is headed back to Colorado, where he´ll bore his fellow Coloradans out of the collective skulls.
Mr. Salazar will leave behind a legacy as one of the very worst cabinet secretaries ever. Secretary "Boot on the Neck of BP" Salazar acted like a lawless thug after the BP blowout. He then actively interfered with energy exploration and production on federal lands in the United States, to the enormous detriment of a badly needed economic recovery - and to the detriment of millions of unemployed Americans.
Just leave - please.

President Obama delivered an address today at the National Defense University called “The Future of our Fight Against Terrorism.” Actually, part of the speech was about the past, including much self-congratulation and some shots at President Bush. This part of the speech is revisionist rubbish. As Max Boot explains: Obama said, for example, that after he came into office, “we unequivocally banned torture, affirmed our commitment to civilian courts, worked to align our policies with the rule of law, and expanded our consultations with Congress.” Umm, actually all of that happened in Bush’s second term.

In seventy lugubrious paragraphs, President Obama today asked America whether as commander-in-chief he should bomb terrorists. He concluded that sometimes he should, and sometimes he shouldn’t. He couldn’t quite make up his mind. Therefore, he would appoint a panel to advise him. Mr. Obama has already authorized more than 200 such drone bombings. His staff has bragged that before ordering a bombing, he personally reviews who lives and who dies. Imagine if Prime Minister Churchill or President Truman had appeared on television to announce an advisory panel before bombing our enemy. We would be appalled

Both the northbound and southbound portions of the bridge dropped into the river sometime before 7 p.m., according to Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis. Francis said several cars were on the bridge when it collapsed, and some are now in the water. Bart Treece with the Washington State Department of Transportation was unsure when the bridge was last inspected. "All of our bridges in the area are pretty old," he said.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

LONDON — British police late Thursday arrested a man and a woman in connection with the butchering of a British soldier on a London street, as anti-Muslim protests sprang up across the country. The arrests fueled speculation that the gruesome knife attack Wednesday — the first successful terrorist act in Britain since 2005 — was part of a wider plot, and prompted questions about the prevalence of Islamic extremism in the country and how to combat it. British officials moved quickly to increase security in London and other major cities Thursday as police raided

Three days of hearings have shown that IRS scrutiny of conservative organizations extended beyond a few rogue employees in Cincinnati, that the agency staged its announcement of the bad news to try to limit the damage, and that the White House knew more, and knew it earlier, than it first admitted. Republicans argue that they also uncovered evidence that the auditor’s report could have been completed months ago — even before the November elections. They also said an internal IRS investigation confirmed the untoward behavior as early as July 2012.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
