George Bush is working at a breakneck pace to dismantle at least 10 major environmental safeguards protecting America's wildlife, national parks and rivers before he leaves office in January.With barely 60 days to go until Bush hands over to Barack Obama, his White House is working methodically to weaken or reverse an array of regulations that protect America's wilderness from logging or mining operations, and compel factory farms to clean up dangerous waste.

Without a doubt: WORST 'PRESIDENT' EVER!
Ausgustus was reportedly fond of the phrase: "Words fail me!" Descriptions of Bush are likewise inadequate to describe this unholy combination of astounding stupidity, unapologetic evil, and stunning cluelessness.
When Bush has shredded and/or burned all the documents that might incriminate his sorry ass, there will not be enough left to fill a single drawer file cabinet let alone a Presidential Library.
There's always the possibility that his library will be the first one to be subpoenaed in its entirety.
Many of Sr's papers are sealed because 'UNSEALED' they would hang him.

Is this prick's reign of terror (terroir) over yet? Get the f*** out of office already! Can't you see that nobody likes you. Nobody likes your policies. Didn't we make that clear on November 4th? It's too late to save yourself...don't try to bring your countrys environment down with you. Impeach! Could somebody take one for the team and take this guy out or something?

If you are curious, here are the rule changes.
Pollute, baby, pollute
The last-minute rules passed during the "midnight hours" of the George Bush presidency differ from his predecessors because they are basically a project of deregulation - not regulation. Among the most far-reaching:
• Industrial-size pig, cow and chicken farms can disregard the Clean Water Act and air pollution controls.
• The interior department can approve development such as mining or logging without consulting wildlife managers about their impact.
• Restrictions will be eased so power plants can operate near national parks and wilderness areas.
• Pollution controls on new power plants will be downgraded.
• Mountain-top mine operators could dump waste into rivers and streams.
• 2m acres of land in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado opened to development of oil shales, the dirtiest fuel on Earth.
