Yet Another Lie
The whaling ban was adopted back in 1986 under President Reagan, upheld through both Bushes and Clinton. Obama made the promise that he would uphold it as part of his campaign rhetoric.
And like so many other Obama promises, this one wasn't worth the air he expended to make it.
Clue in, you folks on the left who believe His Highness gives a damn about the environment. His regime cut the water to hundreds of California farms for the sake of a smelt...but he's more than willing to support the commercial hunting of whales. He's not cutting the water in California to protect a fish. He's cutting the water to create a crisis and use it as a bludgeon to get California legislators to agree to his disastrous policies. He's doing it as a power play. Why is he working to lift the international moratorium on commercial whaling? Because he can make a ton of cash off it and use it to strengthen international ties, much like the Pay-to-Play method employed so well in Illinois.
In other words, he's behaving in a fashion that you folks on the Left like to attribute to those of us on the Right...except in this case, it was a Republican President that fought to protect the whales, and a Democrat President that hopes to line his pockets with their slaughter.
This is who you voted for, environmentalists. This is who you put into power. This is what the rest of us tried to warn you about.

I agree with you.

And now the AFIP [Armed Forces Institute for Pathology]
will no longer do the histology work for the many marine mammal centers because of government "restructuring".
Restructuring is Obama code for "we really don't give a rat's ass about the environment" or the beautiful marine mammals that inhabit it, but we sure do like the money grab we can hide behind our faux eco sense.
