"George Bush will go down in history as America's worst environmental president. In a ferocious three-year attack, the Bush administration has initiated more than 200 major rollbacks of America's environmental laws, weakening the protection of our country's air, water, public lands and wildlife. Cloaked in meticulously crafted language designed to deceive the public, the administration intends to eliminate the nation's most important environmental laws by the end of the year...George Bush and his court are treating our country as a grab bag for the robber barons, doling out the commons to large polluters...If they knew the truth, most Americans would share my fury that this president is allowing his corporate cronies to steal America from our children."
