    My niece sent this petition to me. I'm considering signing it, but I'm still yet evaluating.

    Was curious as to what some of you might feel about Obama's appointment.

    Here's the petition....

    terrible move by Obama. the FDA is already riddled with the food industry's influence, it doesn't need anymore.

    Exact same guy Romney or Newt would hire.

    More proof the President (any President) is simply a corporate puppet running the slave-labor camp known as the USA.

    This petition has absolutely nothing to do with Romney and/or Gingrich. Involving them in this particular discussion is moot.

    I've been reading negatives about Monsanto since the 60s. Like Dow Chemical, they made war chemicals like napalm when Lynden Johnson was President. Monsanto is probably a CIA-owned company and this guy was probably recommended to Obama by them. You never read anything bad about these companies while Republicans are in power. The purpose is to make Democratic presidents look bad.

    Liberals and conservatives alike have no clue what to do about agricultural policy. Food and water security will be the #1 issue in the next 100 years, and we are setting ourselves up for a catastrophe

    Re: Obama Appoints Former Monsanto VP (Lobbyist) As Senior Advisor To FDA's Commissio

    No, this is just plain and simple greed and corruption on both sides. It has nothing to do with having no clue how to go about agg policy.

    How do you think these assholes were able to patent life? They paid off the politicians and they were placed in positions of power, just like this asshole.
