Think Progress:

Yesterday, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Stephen Johnson decided to modestly tighten smog standards, a decision directly "overruling the unanimous advice of its scientific advisory council for a more protective standard."

And STILL Congress does nothing to stop this miserable little dictator! We need to really keep track of what our Congressmen are doing, and get rid of every one of them who are not doing the will of the people, including Nancy Pelosi! Next time she is up for election, remind her of the power of the people, and pull her from power!

All we can do now is pray to the One God by any name we choose, because prayer seems to be the only hope we have if we are to survive Der Bush!

These protections have an economic impact. Be careful what you ask for.

[BOfever]

Liberals don't care about economic impact, they don't make any money and the government provides them with everything anyways.

Oh shut up..you don't know any progressives or as you call them "liberals", so don't talk about them.

Oh indeed. We don't want to go willy nilly protecting the enviroment. It's not important.

[SeekerOne]

Talk about an impeachable offense.

George W. Bush - enemy of the Planet Earth

If Bush was smart enough to know that is a 12th hour, he would have waited until THAT hour. But he isn't.

what a corporate lackey...I tell you, in europe even this assholes' smallest crimes would put him in jail. It's only the planet we're taling about here, ya freak!

How many more seconds, minutes, hours and days can the world tolerate these people? The John Warner act in 2007? OMFG!!!! Scary shit.

This man is trying to destroy as much as he can before he leaves office.

[donaldw6]

THIS is why we still have to impeach them!

[CuriousPerson]

Bush's tactics are destroying the earth.

McCain's tactics surely will continue where Bush's tactics left off.

Yet Hillary, in her quest to be President, would destroy the party for personal gains.

Disgraceful.

P.S.

I'd be shocked as hell if this comment is posted.

[Jezdukowski]

Is there ONE thing - just ONE that this clown has done in office to benefit people OR the earth? Someone please tell me!

[SmootyBooty]
