I’ve found myself spending a lot of time on George Bush’s new site lately. Among my favorite finds is this quote on his downloadable wallpaper :

“When government and landowners and conservationists and others work together, we can make dramatic progress in preserving the beauty and the quality of our environment.”

-President George W. Bush

In his entire career in public office (as short as it is), was that honestly the best quote they could find? It reminds me of all his responses to the “What’s your plan for ___?” questions during the 2000 debates that were pretty much like this :

“It’s a complicated issue, ______. We need to get beyond the rhetoric and get some real work done. They’ve had eight years to fix _____ and it’s still not working. When I’m president, I’m going to get all the best minds in a room together and we’ll come up with a plan to get some work….uh….get….get some answers for the American people. We’re going to come up with a plan, we’ll formulate it, and then we’ll execute it.”

After three years of being president, he should have a better environmental plan than “we’ll come up with a good plan”.
