The EPA under Obama proposed in January 2010 a range for the concentration of ground-level ozone allowed in the air — from 60 parts per billion to 70 parts per billion. That's about equal to a single tennis ball in an Olympic-size swimming pool full of tennis balls.

Jackson, Obama's environmental chief, said at the time that "using the best science to strengthen these standards is a long overdue action that will help millions of Americans breathe easier and live healthier."

The American Lung Association, which sued the EPA over the Bush standard, said it would continue its legal fight now that Obama is essentially endorsing the weaker limit. The group had suspended its lawsuit after the Obama administration vowed to correct it. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

The operative phrase is too expensive RIGHT NOW. In other words, once the Marxist is safely re-elected, the regs are back on, baby, and doubled.

It’s Lenin’s “New Economic Policy” con job, or Stalin’s “Dizzy With Success” dodge, to lull the targets into a false sense of security before lowering the boom.

Like everything else with B.O. (and I do mean B.O.), there is a time limit on this announcement.

Before too long there will be a reversal on this reversal. Reversing a previous reversal. Causing a reversal of fortunes.
FOR ALL OF US.

Previously posted at Obama halts controversial EPA regulation.

Some good comments on that thread. And some scary comments on Yahoo now. Makes me wonder if this country can even be turned around.

The patient is too weak to be blead now, but he’ll be back later to get more blood when the patient is stronger.

But he’ll definately be back, because he is certain that bleeding is good for the patient.

Those new regulations will still be too expensive in December 2012.

The only thing likely to impress me regarding this topic, is the move to abolish the EPA. Short of that...?

Wow. Obama must be really panicking about the economy to do something like this.

That means it would cost around 180 billion dollars.

When one person can determine the fate of 300 million that’s not a republic, but a dictatorship.

Congress needs to return its lawmaking powers to itself and strip them from the Executive branch.

Yeah, Dick Obama, MOST of the things you are doing are too expensive at ANY time.

“President Barack Obama on Friday scrapped his administration’s controversial plans”

The bastard son of a Honoluhu street urchin already has promised to bury the coal industry. That tells me ms affirmative action has something even more sinister up his prissy little sleeve.
