Actually a democrat Congress created the EPA as democrats controlled Congress during Nixon’s term. Yes the idiot signed the bill but he is one idiot and democrats created the EPA ( the laws behind it) and the laws behind almost all the government agencies and gov spending. Presidents can’t write legislation although the Obama communist is abusing that power.

the following is a quote from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency

Many claims have been made that Nixon created the EPA,[citation needed] this is in error,[citation needed] he signed the law and used issues such as these to his advantage because they were very popular and his increase in the Vietnam War wasn’t. Senator Henry M. Jackson was the real push behind the environment[citation needed] and he proposed and helped write S 1075, a bill submitted in 1969 creating the NEPA, the National Environmental Protection Act. Signed into law by President Nixon on January 1, 1970, NEPA was the first of several major environmental laws passed in the 1970s. It declared a national policy to protect the environment and created a Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) in the Executive Office of the President.[citation needed] To implement the national policy, NEPA required that a detailed statement of environmental impacts be prepared for all major federal actions significantly affecting the environment. The “detailed statement” would ultimately be referred to as an environmental impact statement (EIS).

Thanks for the info.

I are innocent!

I was 5 years old. Just be careful about trusting Wikipedia as a source. The amateur editors are only 96.7% accurate. (which is 4x the rate that the biased liberal networks and papers) I added the decimal points to lend an air of scientific certainty.:-)

Joe Biden and Herb Kohl wrote the Senate bill that created the free fire zones for public schools.

They must beheld accountable.

You'll notice, tough, that Obamugabe wants Joe to head up the special commission looking into guns.

You'd better believe Joe will not let that drift over to his very own free fire zone problem.

That's where Free Republican comes in. That's where we come in on all of Obamugabe's BS.
