New White House Chief of Staff Supports the Pickens Plan!

Big news on the Pickens Plan front! Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) has just been announced as the new White House chief of staff when President-elect Barack Obama is inauguarted next January 20.

Rep. Emanuel is a BIG supporter of moving to natural gas generally and the Pickens Plan in particular. He introduced Boone at a town hall event in Chicago in October. In an interview posted on the Pickens Plan website on Sept. 30, 2008, Rep. Emanuel said,

I agree with the Pickens Plan to fuel more cars with natural gas. To reduce our oil consumption, we need to give American drivers a choice of how they fuel their cars; natural gas vehicles can help provide that choice. And I believe that an energy policy aimed at curbing our addition to oil will allow us to create new jobs, curb global warming, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

This is the man who will have enormous influence not just over the White House staff, but over the direction that many of the Cabinet Departments take as well.

Niceone Mr. Pickens. Your work is providing us with more ammunition to market the Pickens Plan. Tough loss last night for the Cowboys. We don't get to many Cowboy games in Idaho but i have to say, I was impressed with the quarterback. He's got a good arm and he's fast. Kind of reminded me of Micheal Vick but without the dog problems.

Congressman Immanuel is a troublemaker. I trust Boone can deal with a punk like him. The reporter Jay Carney said Immanuel once called him on his cell phone and said FU FU FU. Of course, for us country people, that's fightin' words. I would've called him out right then. I know Boone can handle any little creeps like this. Just a tidbit of trivia. My mom's first cousin was Staubach's high school football coach in Beaumont.
