EPA is it's own breed with essentially nobody to answer to. Like many other rogue agencies with tons of power and a shitload of corruption. No president can sit over and watch every agencies leader on every issue nor should they be expected to.

You are completely full of shit as usual, Tileman.

And nobody believes Dubya is a mastermind of all this evil...

The EPA should be eliminated.

What! Are you fucking stupid? The EPA is ran and managed by elected Bush officials.

Presidential, gubernatorial , mayoral, Fire chiefs,etc all make appointments to many powerful positions. The appointee is in place to make many decisions without needing to inform anyone or asking for approval.

I do not blame president Clinton for the Waco or Ruby Ridge incidents. I blame Janet Reno entirely. Clinton's portion of the blame is limited to *not forcing her resignation* for her serious crimes. The criminal acts were on her shoulders alone not Clinton's. I see Clinton's screw up's on OSHA and EPA appointments very similar to Bush's and hold the same set of standards to both equally when placing fault or blame.
