8. Those new mining rules effectively end mountaintop removal mining.
It's a bigger deal that you give it credit for in this. I believe if it's an even greater environmental tragedy than the Gulf oil spill because those mountains will NEVER fully recover.

Let's all do the same and make it go viral! If teabaggers can do it with lies, Obama supporters can do it with the truth!

28. When people unrec something good Obama does
you really have to wonder if this is actually a Democratic site. Ignoring progressive action isn't holding Obama's feet to the fire. It's just working against him and his progressive goals.
