The only reason they didn't pull this with Bush is Democrats thought the 2000 election controversy would work for them come 2002 and 2004.
Perhaps you forgot, but they did pull this on Bush. Before Clinton left the White House, he lowered the arsenic levels for drinking water to a ridiculously low amount that couldn't be accomplished financially. So of course, when Bush took over, he put them back to where they were. The MSM reported all over the place that Bush was for polluting our water even though it was at the exact same level throughout the Clinton years.
Obama is no genius. This has been done before. He's going to reverse what DumBama is doing now, and of course, the MSM will report how Putin is his buddy. The only people fooled by this waste of time and money are people like Jim52. The rest of us know what's really going on.
