Ken Salazar

Kenneth Lee "Ken" Salazar (born March 2, 1955) served as the 50th United States Secretary of the Interior, in the administration of President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a United States Senator from Colorado from 2005 to 2009. He and Mel Martinez (R-Florida) were the first Hispanic U.S. Senators since 1977; they were joined by Bob Menendez (D-New Jersey) in January 2006. Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, he served as Attorney General of Colorado from 1999 to 2005.

On December 17, 2008, President-elect Obama announced he would nominate Salazar as U.S. Secretary of the Interior. The environmentalist movement's reaction to this nomination was mixed. Previously, Salazar supported the nomination of Gale Norton to Secretary of the Interior, President George W. Bush's first appointee who preceded Salazar as Colorado Attorney General. On January 20, 2009, Salazar was confirmed by unanimous consent in the Senate.

On January 16, 2013, it was reported that Salazar planned to resign his post as Secretary of the Interior in March 2013, but his resignation was delayed pending Senate confirmation of his successor, Sally Jewell. On June 10, 2013 he became a partner in the major international law firm of WilmerHale, and was tasked with opening a Denver office for the firm.

Famous quotes by Ken Salazar:

"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes."
"Each and every Notary Public plays a crucial role in combating identity theft. They serve as our front line of defense and the public is safer because of the job they do."
"I think it is paramount that we take proper steps to ensure the safety of our food supply and domestic livestock herd."
"Americans pay up to 1000 percent more to fill their prescriptions than consumers in other countries - that is an alarming statistic."
"Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done."
"Our first priority must be to get the troops, our veterans and their families the health care and support they have earned."
"I want all the interested parties to come together and develop a solution that provides additional water and helps the lower Arkansas River communities thrive again."
"At first glance, the President's mix of spending and spending cuts presents a fiscally tight budget. But, this proposal is ultimately what's wrong with Washington. The President is not being forthcoming about his budget or the booming deficit."
"He does not foresee a situation in which he would run for governor at this time,"
"It's more intense than holding a statewide office,"
"It's a new day at the Department of Interior, and we need to examine what makes the most sense for the American people. These are American resources and American treasures, and we need to make sure we're providing the right kind of protection, oversight and stewardship of these resources for the American people."
"In the West, you take people at their word."
"President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history, and it has been because of the president's vision and courage."

quien soy yo

by: Lucero

Llevo una cruz en el alma.
Amor,la que tu me das.
Ser tu capricho me hiere donde puede herirme mas.
Ponme los pies en el suelo y di que no soy tu amor.
Solo una mas en tu lista y que no hay mas solucion.
Lo tomo o lo dejo,si.Tienes razon.
¿Quien soy yo para soñar una sola pizca de tu vida? para darte mas sin que tu lo pidas.
Por supuesto,no,no,no soy nadie.
¿Quien soy yo para soñar con beber el aire que respiras? y ofrecerte el sol o mi piel a tiras.
Te lo acepto.
¿Quien soy yo?
¿Quien soy yo?
Se que me busco problemas,que tengo que claudicar.Y tambien se que te amo como no te debo amar.
Ponme los pies en el suelo, y di que no soy tu amor solo una mas entre tantas.
Para nada una excepcion.
Lo tomo o lo dejo,si.Tienes razon.
¿Quien soy yo para soñar una sola pizca de tu vida? para darte mas sin que tu lo pidas.
Por supuesto no,no,no soy nadie.
¿Quien soy yo para jugar a querer ser alguien en tu vida? para darte todo sin que tu lo pidas.
Por supuesto no,no,no soy nadie.
¿Quien soy yo para soñar el aire que respiras? y ofrecerte el sol o mi piel a tiras.
Te lo acepto.
¿Quien soy yo?¿Quien soy yo?¿Quien soy yo?
