More faster please - Obama's actions

Department of Justice Environment Division?
From
Think Progress:

From the
NY Times:

Charleston Gazette:
Rahall: EPA clears 42 of 48 permits for approval
Congressman Nick J. Rahall is having a telephone press conference right now to announce that the Obama administration has cleared for approval nearly all of the mountaintop removal mining permits that the EPA has been reviewing.
What the enviros fail to tell you is that built into these permits is the requirement that the companies restore the mountains -- clean them up put down an impermeable layer and replace the topsoil and replant. The word you are looking for is "park".
I do love the gentle popping sound of liberal heads imploding. Hope and Change anyone? Chicago politics writ large...
And, as an afterthought, pre-election, a lot of people said that the Republicans didn't have a strong candidate. Looking around, I don't really see any other strong candidate for the Democratic party either.
Everybody is dirty -- time to drain the Potomac marshes and start over.
