Obama Backs Off Tough Clean Air Regulation
After months of Republican attacks, President Obama told the EPA to withdraw the pending Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards. So now we know which side ALL of our elected officials come down on when it comes to choosing between alleged “job killers” and proven people killers.
It brings to mind a classic Max Brandel image from MAD #142 (April 1971). Is it just us, or is it getting harder and harder to swallow what they expect us to breathe?

First Obama scheduled what many are calling the most important speech of his presidency opposite a big GOP Presidential debate. And the minute Boehner balked, Obama immediately caved and rescheduled his speech opposite the opening game of the NFL season — virtually guaranteeing no one will be watching him. In a job that requires big brass balls, Obama appears to have two Tic-Tacs.
