Former President Barack Obama once acknowledged, “I actually believe my own bullshit,” which must include statements that, with him, “the rise of the oceans [will] slow and our planet [will] heal,” that stimulus projects were “shovel-ready,” and that he is smarter than anyone working for him. To those add his observation that his policies, such as his decrees of national monuments off limits to the public, are set in stone.

Obviously, from their comments among the 1.2 million filed last month on plans by President Trump to void Obama’s and former President Bill Clinton’s illegal decrees, environmentalists believe that baloney. They are wrong.
