Obama SCRAPS controversial EPA regulation

Snowballs formed in hell today after control-freak President Barack Obama WITHDREW a controversial EPA regulation (yes, you read that right) designed to tighten smog rules. Apparently things are so BAD in the economy even Barack Obama has noticed. When it comes to his re-election, there’s NOTHING he won’t throw under the bus. Memo to Krugman, Friedman, et al: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

  • I saw the news report on this, they were using stock footage of the cooling towers on a nuke plant to emphasize their point that this was baaaaad!
    You know, the cooling towers that release WATER VAPOR that LOOKS LIKE SMOKE.

  • OMG! Something is definately wrong with "O"s thinking. This may be the first time since he came into office that he did something positive for America. I must be having a bad dream. Anyway, I'll believe it when I see it. The EPA is nothing more than legal federal pork factory anyway. It should be abolished.

  • Obama's action is strictly pragmatic, he's looking toward his reelection. Trust me, if Barry is sworn in for a second term (God forbid) in January 2013 this regulation and many, many others will be reinstated.
