Democrats promote member of anti energy left at Interior Department

Washington Examiner Editorial:

Rhea Suh is living the sweetest dream of every radical environmental activist toiling in the trenches of Big Green’s war against fossil fuels. Suh has received a fat salary and extremely generous benefits since 2009 as assistant secretary for policy, management and budget for the Department of the Interior. In that position, she helped shape every major Interior Department policy, including the infamous Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium that was twice rejected by the federal courts. Before that, she was a member of the Environmental Grantmakers Association, which represents 200 major environmental groups that are devoted to halting development of U.S. natural resources, especially in the western states. At the EGA, she absorbed the movements' major ideological obsessions by helping fund them, which was the perfect preparation for the budget and policy job at Interior.

Suh's dream is about to become even sweeter because she will soon step into a new job that will make her one of Big Green's most powerful Washington players, thanks to her appointment byPresident Obama as assistant secretary of the Interior for fish, wildlife and parks. Her nomination was approved Thursday by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on a 12-10 party line vote. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will see to it that Suh is confirmed, even if it ultimately costs Democrats control of the Senate. The energy committee's new chairman, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., made Suh the first Obama appointee to be approved under her leadership. Louisiana's pro-oil and -gas electorate may give her reason to regret that come November.
...

This should give Louisiana another reason to vote against Landrieu.  It is a vote against the interest of Louisiana and against the national security interest of this country.  We should be removing people like Suh from important jobs in the government instead of giving them promotions to work against the interest of this country.  This is more p[roof that Democrats can't be trusted on energy policy.
