   I am sure this is good for children. Note to all of you Obama worshippers who love to blame the Senate and House: This is Obama’s decision alone.

   “Obama Smog Decision Will Leave In Place ‘Legally Indefensible’ Environmental Standard”

   EPA warns that breathing ground-level ozone (smog) “can trigger a variety of health problems including chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Ground-level ozone also can reduce lung function and inflame the linings of the lungs. Repeated exposure may permanently scar lung tissue.”

   “Thank you, Mr. President.”

   Only an idiot wouldn’t agree with him on this one. It is useless to health and would harm the economy. The level that the regulations would reduce would not provide any real health benefit but harm the economy. The useful stuff was handled years ago. The President is rightl the Sierra Club is wrong. The Sierra Club and the extreme greens are bent on destroying any reasonable attempt at sustainable economics. They are crazy.

   Yep. I said, “We’ve seen this tried thousands of times and it never works. Reports ask Andy Reid a question in the post game press conference and he never gives them a straight answer. It never works.”
