How is he getting away with this?

Bush wants to 'relax' the Endangered Species Act.  Once again money comes before the health of our planet.  Does anybody honestly expect for the individual agencies to "err on the side of caution" when money is on the line?  Really?

Oh, this pisses me off.  And of course the timing is just right so that it slides in before November, but is too late to cause him any more real problems.  I'm sure he has some friends with construction projects that were denied the go-ahead because of the law, and now he's doing them favors.  It's so obvious.

And I want Obama to win, I really do, but just because he's better than McCain.  He's still a politician, can and will be influenced by his own self-interest and his friends, but at least he won't be so freakin' brazen and cocksure about it and will probably have some boundaries.  Jesus.
