as for obama 'breaking a promise', he should never have made that or any promise to begin with. promises are made to be broken-if anyone knows that, a politician does!

You are totally missing the point. If there was some type of debate going on about the numbers of the whale population, then we would want an unbiased group's opinion. In this case, there is no debate about that. The Obama Administration has never claimed that the whale population is in good shape. Quite to the contrary, the Obama Administration is saying that we need to protect the whales.
"The Obama administration argues that the new deal will save thousands of whales over the next decade by stopping the three countries from illegally exploiting loopholes in the moratorium."
The point is that Obama is the only one that thinks this will save whales.
