What an odd feeling

Looks like President Bush is eager to ram through several changes to weaken environmental policy before he leaves office in January. But for a change, I'm not furious. I'm also not frantically looking up ways to protest the proposed changes. Now that we have a competent new president ready to come in and take over in a short few months, I am confident that the Obama administration will return our federal agencies over to people who respect science. I suspect that new administrators at the EPA, FDA, Department of the Interior, and every other agency in our government, will spend quite a lot of time undoing the damage the Bush administration has wrought over the last 8 years. But I am confident that in time, the new administration will indeed undo much of the damage.
