    I don't buy the most gay friendly or the most environmental but creating the National Marine Monuments was a great move on part of now citizen GW Bush and I commend him for it.

    Delaying the measure doesn't mean it isn't going to happen. Good try though.

    luckily there was no oil around


    SALT LAKE CITY—Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says he’s scrapping the lease of dozens of parcels of federal land for oil and gas drilling in Utah’s redrock country.

    Salazar says the Bush administration rushed an auction in December of some of the country’s most precious landscapes around national parks and the wild Green River.

    Salazar today ordered the Bureau of Land Management, which is part of the Interior Department, not to cash checks from winning bidders for the parcels at issue in a lawsuit filed by environmental groups.

    A federal judge last month put the sale of the 77 parcels on hold. Now Salazar is saying he won’t sell any of them—at least not until the Obama administration has a chance to take a second look.

    What else has the "greatest" done, or tried to do?

    This list goes on and on, but this is plenty enough to use as examples of how Bush was not friendly to the environment. Just like on gay rights issues, basso shows he has no idea what it means to actually support what he claims to support.

    I guess nobody could expect more from someone who claims to support gay rights but sees no difference in one politician that supports a constitutional amendment to permanently ban gay marriage, and another politician that opposes such an amendment.
