Good riddance Lisa Jackson

About four years overdue but still, nice to hear. From the Associated Press:
EPA Administrator Jackson announces resignation
The Obama administration's chief environmental watchdog, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, is stepping down after a nearly four-year tenure marked by high-profile brawls over global warming pollution, the Keystone XL oil pipeline, new controls on coal-fired plants and several other hot-button issues that affect the nation's economy and people's health.

Jackson, the agency's first black administrator, constantly found herself caught between administration pledges to solve controversial environmental problems and steady resistance from Republicans and industrial groups who complained that the agency's rules destroyed jobs and made it harder for American companies to compete internationally.

The GOP chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Fred Upton, said last year that Jackson would need her own parking spot at the Capitol because he planned to bring her in so frequently for questioning. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called for her firing, a stance that had little downside during the GOP primary.
She and Barry have done more to damage the economy of the United States than any other cabinet position. What Barry could not get passed through congress as a law, Lisa was more than happy to regulate. Our energy costs did skyrocket and Lisa is the tool that made it so. There is no other reason for this. Barry's ideology and his piss poor fiscal management. It has been four years since President Gorge Bush left office -- the blame is firmly in Barry's camp and actually, with the community redistribution act (housing meltdown), Barry agitated for this back when he was a Senator from Illinois.
