Obama's salmon joke!!

"We live and do business in the information age, but the last major reorganization of the government happened in the age of black and white TV. There are twelve different agencies that deal with exports. There are at least five different entities that deal with housing policy. "Then there's my favorite example: the Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they're in fresh water, but the Commerce Department handles them in when they're in saltwater. And I hear it gets even more complicated once they're smoked."- from President Obama's State of the Union Address, January 25th, 2011.

Well Mr. President I like your little joke, but what I rather want to hear is what kind of action you are preparing to take against all the problems the wild Salmon are facing. Fish farming industry polluting their surroundings and spreading deceases and sea lice, power dams blogging their way to important spawning grounds, illegal nettings, over fishing just to mention a few important issues. Words are fine but action are much more refined and important.

So help us make sure that Mr. Obama is not only using words - and jokes!!!
