In 1992, George H. W. Bush tried to win re-election by casting owls as the enemy of America. He complained of Al Gore, then running for Vice President, “This guy is so far out in the environmental extreme, we’ll be up to our necks in owls and out of work for every American.”
Well, it’s fifteen years since the first President Bush made that comment accusing Al Gore of being an environmental extremist. Since then, it’s Al Gore’s position on the environment that has been vindicated, not President Bush’s.
It’s true that, in the meantime, the Republicans have done their level best to keep the owl threat at bay. Progressives, on the other hands, have kept their attention on other threats, like the threat of global warming.
If you want a President who can understand that global warming is a more serious threat to America than owls, elect a progressive in 2008.

Harrold, are you saying that George H. W. Bush didn’t say what the Sierra Club says he said?
There are plenty of other sources on that comment. It was caught on video tape.
