San Joaquin Valley: Thanks a Lot Mr President

As expected, President Obama flew into the San Joaquin Valley yesterday, made a couple of speeches, threw out some welfare and another billion dollar pork fund, then boarded Air Force One and flew off into the sunset.

Obama told reporters in the rural town of Firebaugh, where he met with community leaders, that he wasn't about to wade into California water politics. Yet the president gently warned California's leaders to find common ground rather than thinking of water as a "zero-sum game."
"We're going to have to figure out how to play a different game," Obama said. "If the politics are structured in such a way where everybody is fighting each other and trying to get as much as they can, my suspicion is that we're not going to make much progress."
As for that "Climate Resilience Fund", look for another Solyndra-type  scandal to emerge from this story.
