Cenk Uygur talks to Michael Shure and Mark Floegel, senior investigator for Greenpeace, about President Obama’s appointing Sally Jewell to the position of secretary of the interior, Jewell’s connections to oil companies and Obama’s record with oil. Greenpeace gives Obama a very low rating. “I’ll be generous and give him a D-plus. He has not been a good president in terms of oil,” Floegel says. “He’s opened up way too much offshore oil.”
