President Bush is known for a lot of things, we blame him for so much and now the time has finally come to give him the boot and say sayonara buddy, hasta la vista baby, don't come back now ya hear, but it seems now he feels the need to preform a good deed before he leaves, WHY?
Why did he wait so long to do a good deed, when he should have did that along time ago? So what good did he decide to do, well according to Washington Post bush has opened up three new marine national monuments in the Pacific Ocean which is up to 195,280 square miles. President Bush matched the records of some of the most open-minded presidents which is really good especially for him. He even protected more ocean than any president in history.
Well even though he decided to do something about the environment now, he still has some sins he has to pay for, salon.com has narrowed it down to bush's seven deadliest environmental sins . To save time I am going to name a few that caught my attention.
Deadly sin number four: Abandoned endangered species
The specie that has been affected by this in a bad way is the polar bear it is sad that global warming is taking an huge affect on them and nothing is being done to help them.
"All the high-profile listings, such as polar bears, have come about after the government has been sued or petitioned by environmental groups and citizens."
I am glad that Bush decided to do something about the environment before he left and I guess its never to late to try and help even though he should done something along time ago, at least its a start.
Deadly sin number six: Not seeing the forest or the trees
"The Bush administration never met a tree that wouldn't look better as a 2x4 in Home Depot, or a wilderness area that wouldn't look better with a road running through it."
I think that saving trees is important in some ways, animals need a home just as much as we do, and if we cut down trees to make roads through forests your cutting down some one's home. At the same time we also need trees to build houses for ourselves and since houses or on foreclosure and people or losing their homes we definitely need them too. That does not mean we should go over board on it and just start cutting down forests and trees not thinking about the wildlife who needs it also.
So back to the initial question why such a change of heart? Well knowing bush he probably didn't want to leave the office with a bad impression, he probably wanted to make sure that when he left, he left the office with something good on his part. I wouldn't blame him either if I was in his situation I would try to do numerous things before I leave, but whatever the reason maybe at least we know Scarecrows really do have a brain.

Jasmine that was a very entertaining blog, you provided a lot of good information about the websites. A lot of quotes and links. [and a lot of you opinion :]
I think that this blog is very well thought out and that there is very good use of evidence. After stating what the Washington post had said she had gone into depth and mentioned her opinions.
you can defiantly tell that she has some negative thoughts towards bush, but then again she gives off the impression that there as some things he has done that can help.
GOOD JOB! :)
