I don’t understand what’s going on just yet
The Bush administration is for some reason becomming concerned about the envirnment for the first time in their 8 years.(thanks for small favors)
It is surprising to me they would make this decision at just the right moment that would undermine the credibility of McCain’s running mate.
First, they refuse to consider Palin as trustworthy as the other candidates for this election and now they deny her efforts to keep endangered species off that list
My link above is from think progress;
Bush administration ignores Palin’s objections, puts beluga whale on endangered species list.» Yesterday, the Bush administration placed beluga whales that live in Cook Inlet in Alaska on the endangered species list, rejecting Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) efforts “against increased protection.” During the 1990s, these whales declined by almost 50 percent, and have struggled to recover. In an August 2007 written statement, Palin said she was “concerned” that listing the species as endangered would “unnecessary,” doing “serious long-term damage to the vibrant economy of the Cook Inlet area.”
I do believe this administration is NOT happy with McCain’s choice for vice president

I just don’t think they care anymore. They know this election is over.
I agree completely. There is nothing to lose so why not play nice. An endorsement from the current administration has no positive affect on the McCain/Palin ticket. Maybe something was learned from the past 8 years–maybe.
Love it, Palin should be thrown under the bus for her treatment of Alaskan animals and people too!
Perris, Agreed. Something smells fishy – and it ain’t the belugas.
Bush wants the Dems to win, so they will be stuck with this financial mess. And with the Dems failing to resolve this mess in their first term (which will be the case, because this can’t be fixed in 4 years), the Repub will come in on their white horse, to save the day, come the election in 2012. I believe in my heart this is their plan, as they have no morals at all. WE can only stop this by exposing their involvement in this mess, and showing that the Dems do have morals, and have not screw the public, now (in the actions taken to date) and in the future.
