I have to admit, I snickered rather audibly when I read little nugget in Obama's official statement: "I have continued to underscore the importance of reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty, particularly as our economy continues to recover." Come on, that's a joke, right? But, lo and behold, the aforementioned statement was actually announcing at least a teeny, tiny step in the right direction:




Administrator Lisa Jackson and her 'independent regulatory agency' kill jobs like its their job (oh, wait...), and its sounds like neither the EPA nor their reality-challenged ilk were at all pleased with the President's decision. Oh, happy day! Could it be that two years of persistently dismal unemployment and the slowest. recovery. ever. have finally burst Obama's elitist bubble? After all of the failed stimuli, to the 'green' industry especially, it's about time the White House got the message.
