The more lenient Bush administration standard from 2008 will remain in place until a scheduled reconsideration of acceptable pollution limits in 2013, officials indicated Friday.

Or in other words, until after the election.

So Obama doesn’t want clear air afterall? If these regulations are so necessary, then isn’t it hypocritical to stall them until after the 2012 election?

Lets sit back and watch his base crumble even further....he he!

Rope a dope.

END THE EPA NOW!

just a question, has anyone noticed an increase in foot traffic, horse travel, houses lit by candles, missing air conditioners I have not so I guess all this talk about saving the planet from the evils of coal, and oil does not apply to those who support such matters as they crank up the AC, jump in their SUV.S to drive the two blocks to the airport for their vacation travel aboard a 747, etc., etc..

I have a feeling Obama didn't want this issue out there (but that's not going to stop Perry's assault on the EPA.

August 5, 2011:

Finding middle ground on EPA-Texas electric squabble [EPA doesn’t do “middle” ground] “Texas' grudge match with the Environmental Protection Agency is getting nastier and riskier, with the fallout threatening to reach the state's power grid. Want another reason to worry about the lights staying on? Or how about another hit to the economy? You've heard lots of political posturing about Texas' way of life being threatened by an overreaching federal government. This time, Gov. Rick Perry has a point. …………..

Don't be surprised if the attorney general jumps in after Perry slammed the rule for threatening Texas jobs and families and putting reliable, affordable electricity at risk. Late last week, 31 members of Congress from Texas, including eight Democrats, signed a letter to the White House asking for relief. The utility commission also filed objections with the EPA.

Texas officials and the EPA have been clashing over air pollution and environmental issues for the past decade. The conflict has deepened under the Obama administration as the EPA turned more aggressive and Perry sharpened his attacks on Washington......

Let’s see if the EPA complies with FUBO’s request. I suspect this is nothing but pure theatrics to improve his dismal image.

All I can say is that in the wake of the Solyndra fiasco, Prince Barry better not say “green jobs” even once during his little publicity stunt.

[Mr. Peabody]

Is Obama trying to kill the children?
Give us our clean air you stupid dick!

[CORedneck]

I wonder if the Obama administration will underhandedly try to sneak in the CDL requirement for farmers that got denounced recently and shot down ?
