And this isn't Satire
President Bush, trying to shore up his environmental record against attacks by Democratic rival John Kerry, on Thursday called for restoring or protecting as many as 3 million acres of wetlands over the next five years.
Bush was celebrating Earth Day by highlighting efforts to help wetlands at a Maine nature reserve. He also was announcing new figures Thursday from the Agriculture Department that he says show that, for the first time in the nation's history, the annual net loss of wetlands on farmland has been reversed.
The government has estimated that wetlands overall are being lost at the rate of 100,000 acres a year, despite pledges by successive administrations to develop policies to end the decline.
He's killing our planet, oh wait he believes Jesus will protect us from ourselves!
