http://www.cspo.org/home/news/ The one about the clean air degredation in
the Grand Canyon is from the Salt Lake Tribune....hardly the Sierra Club.

Are you claiming that this has just happened? Or that he isn't fixing it?
Why didn't Clinton fix it, he had 8 years?


Oh, air quality over the canyon has been degrading for years...we talked
about it in the 80s. Clinton did pass legislation to start to fix it, but
Bush suspended it, and even put in stopgaps that let emissions producers
'buy' emission credits from others who don't use theirs. So now its getting
worse than ever, but with a legal hall pass.

A quote from a friend of mine:

"About the natural environment... what the Bush administration has
*already* done is a matter of record. Those who don't think the
administration's aim is to roll back the entire range of environmental
protections it's taken a century to put in place just haven't been paying
close attention. So let's take stock after 4 years and see what Bush and
big business have done that they were constrained from doing during the
first four years in order to get elected again. No such restraints now, a
firm grip on both houses of Congress, and (given the spin one hears on FOX)
the pretense of a "sweeping mandate"....

He's got the bit in his teeth now. At least last election, he was promising
to be a 'uniter' and a 'compassionate conservative'. No such pretense
anymore.
