...but damn if he ain't good. Today, Obama moved to reverse Dubya's gutting of the Endangered Species Act. Obama's taken the responsibility for determining whether or not a species is in peril out of the hands of political appointees and buearucrats, and put it back where it belongs--into the hands of scientists. We have a president now who appreciates and trusts the work of scientists. It's a nice change.

i have nothing intelligent to add, only that i am happy about this - amen, amen, amen.
And today, right from my seat at lunch looking out on to my backyard I watched a bald eagle - yes, an honest to God BALD EAGLE do a fly-by grab of a branch from the top of a water oak.
He (or she) is building a nest!!! I have red shoulder hawks and red tail hawks and Osprey but this, this really takes the cake!
I feel like it is in response to Obama :)
It's about time. Now his detractors are like a bunch of salivating vultures, just waiting to lay blame on every current misfortunes stemming from the Bush administration, on him.
