Give President Bush credit for recognizing an environmental/health problem:

"Lead is a persistent and highly toxic substance that can cause a range of environmental and health problems.  It has an especially harmful impact on the health of children and infants."

– George Bush, April 2001

Of course, that statement was before 9/11, and 9/11 (as we know) changed everything.  The events of 9/11 It apparently even made lead non-harmful to children and infants.

The Bush administration is considering doing away with health standards that cut lead from gasoline, widely regarded as one of the nation’s biggest clean-air accomplishments.

Battery makers, lead smelters, refiners all have lobbied the administration to do away with the Clean Air Act limits.
