Bush Urges for Greater Protection of Ocean Areas
Posted in Entertainment, News & Research
With 595 Diggs as of right now, this article from Red, Green, and Blue seems pretty popular. For those who hadn't heard this story yet, here's a clip:
On Saturday, while speaking at the opening of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History’s new ocean exhibit, President Bush announced that California’s Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary would be expanded by 585 nautical miles. It will now include an underwater volcano that in its surroundings is home to a diverse spectrum of ocean life, including corals.
Bush also said that he would like to create several new marine sanctuaries in the Pacific Ocean. His actions to protect oceans might be one of the few positive environmental legacies from his presidency. Via Red, Green, and Blue: Read the rest of the story here

And why does it take Bush 8 years to do something like that? I think he just is trying to leave on some positive note. Why doesn't he decide to do something about gas prices instead. Oh yeah, because he is making too much money off of those.

Jared, apparently he did something similar in 2006, but it wasn't widely publicized. I'm wondering why... But I agree, he is definitely trying to leave a legacy, something GOOD people will remember him by rather than all of the horrible.

At this point, I simply do not trust anything Bushco does anymore. There has got to be some sort of secret agenda behind the move!
Cheney must be building a new underground cave hideaway near that volcano and we had to extend the sanctuary so no one would find it.

I agree, Adam. Lol, what do you think he is up to in that underground cave? Plotting takeover of the world? He is evil enough...
