Asian Crap Trumps Asian Carp

The Plain Dealer in a 1/25/10 editorial took President Obama to task for refusing to act on the threat to Great Lakes posed by Asian Carp.

“ U.S. Supreme Court justices who refused last week to issue an injunction forcing closure of Illinois shipping locks against Asian carp need to be overruled by wiser political minds. Saving the nation's most precious freshwater assets can't be left to technicalities. Otherwise, an ecological disaster for the Great Lakes will be inevitable.
The bighead and silver carp have worked their way up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers toward Lake Michigan over the last decade. They present a real and grave danger to the Great Lakes' ecosystem and its multibillion-dollar commercial and sports fishing industry."

Obama the editorial states , “ needs to step in to stop the Asian carp's advance on the Great Lakes -- .

Although the editors make a compelling argument for White House action needed to stop the incursion of Asian carp, they fail to realize that Obama is too busy dealing with double digit unemployment nurtured by the incursion of Asian crap. Crap trumps carp!
