More Bush Policy Reversal

Yup, west syyyyyyde

So, in another reversal of America's 8 years in the desert under Bush, Obama intends on letting states set their own emission standards, something that California has been pushing for for a long time. This is seen, of course, as a blow to the automakers who are whining about how this is a bad time given current economic conditions.

You automakers had plenty of time to change in the past, now its time to owe up to the greater good and take a bite out of your stfummich. Too long has this country sacrificed the greater good and long term success for short term gains. Bush, being the slack that he is, was a master at that. It is refreshing to have a president with the guts to make the tough choices, to sacrifice short term comforts for long term prosperity. And if the car manufactures don't survive, well, you can thank the capitalism that Bush has been praising all these years.
