Much of what the Obama administration does occurs under the radar. Steps are being taken in all sorts of areas that get little publicity but will have ramifications for years to come.
An example is the announcement that the U.S. will step up the fight against illegal fishing and oceanic pollution.
In a videotaped message to an international conference now being held in Chile, the President said, “Our economies, our livelihoods and our food all depend on our oceans. And yet we know that our actions are changing them.”
Once again, I am so pleased that this man is our President, and I shudder to think of the yahoos that are running in the Republican Party to replace him.
