Issa blasts Commerce nominee as 'green evangelist'

The whole "green" thing is a sham marketing term that the Left has latched onto to promote low-paying jobs for minorities for minorities putting up solar panels. Former Clinton Labor Secy Robert Reich famously said that the new green jobs shouldn't go to white construction workers. I would put up the video,but it's been wiped off the net.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) blasted President Obama on Tuesday for nominating John Bryson to be the next Commerce secretary, calling the decision "deeply out-of-touch with our current energy challenge."

Issa said Bryson is a "green evangelist" and took aim at the long-time energy company CEO for co-founding the Natural Resources Defense Council, a leading environmental group.

"With gas prices at nearly four dollars a gallon, it’s certainly eye-catching that President Obama has nominated a founder of an organization that opposes efforts to increase domestic oil production to serve as the nation’s key advocate for our economic interests," Issa said in a statement. "The nomination of John Bryson to lead the Department of Commerce seems deeply out-of-touch with our current energy challenge."
