Bush invented salmon

Are you kidding?  Even with private insurance, if I need to see a specialist I'll pay cash over jumping through the referral hoops.  (and it's actually quite cheap)

It doesn't look like Bush was directly taking credit for the salmon increase, but he was insinuating that his policies were partialy responsible.  Why mention it otherwise?  Especially in the context of "We're going in the right direction"?

Why mention it otherwise?  Read up on the upper Columbia River some day.  There are a series of 7 dams that produce 3% of the power in the Nothwest.  There is a huge cry to remove these dams because of the "harm they are doing to salmon runs".

I guess if you knew nothing about the politics of the region.  And you knew nothing about the crowd the president was speaking too.  And you knew nothing about the cause and effect that is being reffered to... you could read pretty much anything into that that you wanted.  And... you are.  I guess it doesn't really matter that the assessment is wrong.  It's what you want it to mean that really matters.

Even more recent..

The Peace Corps - Kennedy
The Great Society - LBJ

New ideas are the bread and butter of the Liberal movement. The definition of conservative is to want things to remain unchanged..

The great society? Man, where did you get all of these cans of worms?

You're right. That bait is worthy of a thread all its own.

"Two plants south of Moundsville and a third 25 miles upriver belong to the Ohio-based American Electric Power Co. Together, last year, they released 91,000 tons of a smog-causing chemical, more than the emissions from power plants in all of New England and New Jersey combined."

"Industries in the Northeast already have spent billions of dollars to reduce pollution from cars, factories and power plants. The Northeast states have agreed to cut nitrogen oxide levels by as much as 75 percent from power plants by 1999, compared to 1990 levels, and New Jersey recently increased that commitment to 95 percent."
"Last year nitrogen oxide emissions from New York power plants totaled 73,600 tons, and from New Jersey, 27,500 tons. By comparison Ohio's power plants, mainly coal, accounted for almost 560,700 tons, according to EPA figures"
