This is a different world. George Bush’s motives are not in question.

Barack Obama’s are.

For instance:
When my son takes my car out of the garage - I know he’s about to check the oil, the tires and clean it for me.

When a total stranger takes my car out of the garage - I’m pretty sure he’s gonna steal it.

My pleasure. Sorry I can’t enlarge the chart of what all the colors mean, but I’m pretty sure the pink areas are the Indian Reservations, just based on knowing what’s in my state.

It has nothing to do with "different worlds"

You are a hypocrite. And, you have many fellow hypocrites.

Are you a shoe bomber hypocrite also? Of course you are.

"disparate" is right. That can be seen in your choice of analogies.

Whereas you solely own the car, you don't solely own the land.

And, of all the people that co-own that land with you, most favor adding protections to the land that they already co-own.

Which takes us back to Bush. Bush did what he did on the marine monuments because it was popular to do that and he wanted to show that he and republicans "cared" about the environment

I think it’s a person who wears one shoe on his head and pulls the laces too tight;)

I could be wrong. LOL!
