 Ay-Peeee. Guess he read that jobs report this AM. Even he knows this is a job and economy killer. Lisa Jackson can sit down and STFU - for nowThey weren't controversial in the least -- BOTH sides knew exactly why the rules were proposed and what they were intended to do. |

| #6 If he objected to the EPA's handling he could easily tell Ms. Jackson to vacate her office within an hour. He's not serious. It's a campaign tactic to delay the job-killing actions he supports. God forbid this SCOAMF gets a second term |

| #4 Yup, see an end to the waivers program as well. Would be kinda interesting running one of the businesses, eh, knowing this law was sitting in el prez's back pocket? |

| #3 the problem here is the Clean Air Act itself The Act (as amended) requires the EPA administrator to set a standard that protects the most sensitive receptor with an adequate margin of safety. Imagine if we had that standard for, say, speed limits or for appliance safety. |
