Bush to give speech on climate change strategy
Source: AP:

President Bush is giving a Rose Garden speech on Wednesday on climate change to lay out the way he thinks the U.S. can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

White House press secretary Dana Perino says that Bush will not outline a specific proposal, but instead will spell out a strategy for long-term goals for curbing emissions.

Bush wants every major economy, including China and India, to establish a national goal for cutting the emissions believed responsible for global warming. In his remarks, he also will talk about legislative proposals on Capitol Hill that the administration has expressed opposition to, as well as regulatory issues.

6. But, he won't deny it until he gets off vacation in September.
In the mean-time, they'll give us Cindy McCain's recipe for climate fixing. Previously posted on the Weather Channel site.

4. Who f*cking CARES?
The entire world is impatient for this idiot to be gone from our sight and out of sound bite of our ears. He had nothing to say on January 20, 2001 and he will have nothing to say on April 16, 2008. Has a fumigation been scheduled for the White House on January 20, 2009? Wouldn't that be a sight? The White House tented, w/ multiple tanker trucks pumping away.

8. All I know is . . .
. . . come 1.20.09, I'll be in DC either rioting or celebrating. It's entirely up to America's voters, and they'd better choose wisely.

23. Comparing Jed Clampett to * is like comparing ice tea to cesspool water
They may have similar characteristics but one is not fit for human consumption

20. So, without specific proposals, and already announcing they'll oppose Congressional plans . . .
This whole waste of time and energy was about . . . what?
