...dynamite or poison into the waters. One of the best strategies is to expand the range of territory protected by marine reserves - national parks of the deep. And here the Bush Administration - usually anything but environmental - deserves real credit. With a stroke of a pen in 2006, President George W. Bush created the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, a 140,000 sq. mi. protected area northwest of Hawaii. Larger than every other national park in the U.S. combined, the monument protects 10% of the shallow coral reef habitat in U.S. territory. These kind of reserves need to be expanded, to limit...
Democrats aren't like that. It's not that they're too nice or too principled, or too unwilling to be ruthless. The hatred of George W. Bush on the left--and the eagerness to see him gone--is at this point as extreme as anything the right has to offer. (I know this because I share it.)

...campaign set up a forum with three policy advisers to field questions about it. That has helped soothe some on the left. "We may disagree with him on an issue, [but] he is not going to shut down discussion, and he is not going to hide like George W. Bush," says Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, founder of the liberal blog Daily Kos. Obama is counting on disappointed liberals to be as pragmatic as they are passionate. They may no longer like everything they see when they look at him. But they'll vote for him anyway...
...summit in the Japanese resort town of Toyako, President George W. Bush proudly presented a pledge by the group's eight member nations to cut global greenhouse-gas emissions at least 50% by 2050. For a President who came into office publicly doubting climate change and has repeatedly refused to set specific limits on carbon emissions, the G-8 statement was a personal step forward...
