He has to be one of the biggest hypocrites
http://www.projo.com/opinion/contributors/content/CT_stub ...He is a self serving ego monster.
The EPA needs a scientist/government bureaucrat who puts formulates policy with the best science available and get it through Congress, besides knowing how to get the funds to support the agency.
RFK jr. has pissed off way too many people, and his weakest point, much weaker than his heroin addiction, Cape Wind hypocrisy, etc... his weakest point is that he doesn't admit his mistakes when he is grossly wrong. This has happened countless times.It is better off leaving him as an Environmental lawyer fighting for his crusades both real and imaginary.On Obama considers RFK Jr. for EPA posted 1 year ago 34 Responses
RFK's past drug use is different
Compare to GW Bush, RFK jr. has a very well documented drug history, it has been written in many books about the Kennedys. (I am not condoning GW Bush's antics, and I feel his administration policy toward AGW has been borderline criminal)RFK jr. wasn't experimenting, he was a full blown heroin addict, and was an addict for years...
He got involved in the Environmental Movement because it was part of his community service agreement, (Before that he was working for Native American rights, why he was flying to Rapid City, SD, and was found passed out/overdose with a needle in his arm)
I have no problem that RFK jr. is a vocal advocate for his pet environmental issues.. However he was known as being kind of dictatorial with groups like Riverkeeper, in which the board resign in protest over some of RFK jr.'s antics
There are way too many demerits in front of RFK jr's name to have him head of a very important agency. I would leave him in his gadfly role, where he is much better suited. On Obama considers RFK Jr. for EPA posted 1 year ago 34 Responses
RFK jr past drug use will knock him down as well..
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a major heroin user, I believe he was arrested once with Cocaine and Heroin on flight. He was a heroin addict for years. There is no way he will through the nomination process unless the Obama administration want to push this really hard.
There are many competent people who would do a good job for the EPA other than RFK Jr. This would be a horrible pick.On Obama considers RFK Jr. for EPA posted 1 year ago 34 Responses
