Man, I used to hate this guy. I mean, I still do. I can't help but despise a person who feels the urgent need to presciently counter the actions of a future president by lowering environmental and endangered species regulations and eliminating the ability of that president to veto these regulations. But seriously, this is just sad...

Sometimes I wonder, if he wasn't despised by the majority of Americans, and the rest of the world, and his cabinet, and his former cabinet, would he be more willing to be a better guy? Call me the overly sentimental optimist with a flare for embracing my naivete, but I think I actually would like to sit down and have a beer with that guy. At this point, I think he really needs one.
