Republican anger has focused on environmental regulations lately — with more than one GOP presidential candidate vowing to "abolish the EPA" — and so Obama has come to treat many environmental issues as sacrificial lambs. But environmentalists did notice, partly because the smog rules have already been on their radar for years. Industry lobbyists and GOP lawmakers have long claimed the rules threaten economic growth, while many scientists and health advocates argue they could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars in health costs. ( See this excellent analysis by MNN's Jim Motivalli for more details.) This is a great illustration of poor messaging by Ds....What are environmentalists, Ds and Obama doing to abolish the myth that Rs are pedaling?
