The End Is Near Lets Cheer!

The devastation to the environment caused by Bush is coming to an end.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. conservation groups on Thursday hailed the imminent end of "environmental abuse and neglect" by the Bush administration and promised to work with President-elect Barack Obama to reverse this course.

"The Bush administration has done a lot of damage to our nation's environmental protections over the last eight years," said Mike Daulton, the National Audubon Society's legislative director.

"And nowhere is that more evident than the Bush administration's drilling policies, which have been slanted dramatically toward the oil industry."
