I am NOT a lobbyist, I am a paid consultant. And the difference is? Typical politician. From the Governor's office (small detour to "playing" head of Homeland Security - remember color coded alerts and duck tape?) to advocating for the very industry that he should have regulated while Governor. This man is such a light weight - incompetent as Governor - a real joke as Homeland Security Chief. Guess he's finally found his niche - industry whore.

He's wrong about the fracking though. It is polluting watersheds.
