Obama-nomics: Half Full, Half Empty, or Just Half-Assed? - Yahoo! News: "Well – another day, another miserable US jobs report, another stock market retreat, and yet another Obama climb-down.

At least this time it was not induced by Speak Boehner’s shadow.

Spooked by the latest abysmal jobs numbers, the President suddenly decided to cave in to pressure from big business and withdrew the EPA’s proposed revisions in the outdated15-year old standards for ozone emissions.

These new standards were only going to take effect in 2015, anyway.
