The man, Armendariz did say the word crucify to the people who worked under him. There is no fighting that since he admitted it and tried to convince people that he just chose the wrong words. The damage has been done and it appears to me that he will never climb out of the hole he dug.

Here is another quote along with the words of the author of the article.

Echoing President Obama's "punch back twice as hard" treatment of his political enemies, Armendariz explained to his underlings that "you hit them as hard as you can, and you make examples out of them, and there is a deterrent effect there. And, companies that are smart see that, they don't want to play that game, and they decide at that point that it's time to clean up."

Can somebody prove that Armendariz didn't say these words? If so get to it because I don't want to believe he really said something that bad.

Indeed, he did speak them and has reportedly apologized for speaking them. But, this is one of those times, "sorry" just won't be good enough. An investigation has been launched and I hope it digs far and wide because these aren't just words. I think this is exactly how things are done under this administration. Whether MSM will pick up and follow up on this story is another thing cause we all know how that works. But, hopefully the GOP campaign will do some good montage ads depicting all the despicable stuff that's been done and proven and this will be included.

Is there no limit to the contrived outrage the GOP can muster against Obama?

We should respect old traditions. The good ole way of crucifying on a wooden cross worked well, why change it?

Obama did say the only words I spoke of in that OP, didn't he? I was aiming at the man who said the words and he happens to be part of the Obama administration which has plenty to do with Obama.

Nice try at deflection, though. Talk about easy to see through, you are very easy.

I don't think that the man intended to do it any other way only that he couldn't get by with that practice. There aren't enough of you people to change how we feel about hanging people from a cross. However, all his underlings knew what he meant, though.

EPA is a power hungry organization. Gestapo of the environment. They are out to shut the coal industry down under the direction of Obama.

Little by little Obama is intruding into our lives from farm kids to coal plants and drilling of oil. We might as well give it up to Obama. He is chipping away everything just like the socialists communists have done in the past. Democrats are too stupid to understand what communism is. They are in an Obama trance.

This guy, like most of Obama's selections, is an activist

EPA official's 'activist' stance gets mixed reaction

Geez....you folks must be on high dose blood pressure pills if you can find a way to get outraged over this nonsense.

Life is too short.
