Bush ignores Endangered Species List

One of the jobs that every president has had among his many duties is to protect animals who's numbers have fallen to dangerous levels by placing them on the Endangered species list in order that they can be protected and perhaps be given some time to recover their numbers. The current president's father, George Herbert Walker Bush, placed a total of 231 species on the endangered list during his 4 year term between 1989-1993. President Bill Clinton in his 8 years as president between 1993-2001 placed a total number of 521 on the list. The current president, George Walker Bush in his 7 years so far has only placed a grand total of 59. This is yet another area in which the president has fallen short. Is there any area in which he has not fallen short? It was interesting to see how the president was greeted on sunday march 30th at the opening day baseball game for the Washington Nationals in D.C. It was a mixture of cheers and boos but the dislike of him was palpable in that stadium as he walked off the field after throwing out the first pitch with an embarrassed look on his face.
