Mother Jones has a series on what a fine job our environmental president is doing.
Dirty Secrets No president has gone after the nation's environmental laws with the same fury as George W. Bush -- and none has been so adept at staying under the radar.

The true nature of the Bush administration's environmental agenda can be seen in the basic numbers.
Tons of additional air pollutants permitted to be released by 2020 under Bush's "Clear Skies" plan: 42 million
Estimated number of premature deaths that will result: 100,000
Estimated amount that Clear Skies-related health problems will cost taxpayers, per year: $115 billion [more] |
