A Chinese woman covers her mouth as she makes her way along a busy intersection in Wuhan, central China's Hubei province on Monday. The Chinese metropolis of Wuhan was blanketed by thick yellowish cloud, raising fears of pollution among its nine million inhabitants, as air pollution is increasingly acute in major Chinese cities and authorities are frequently accused of underestimating the severity of the problem in urban areas, especially in Beijing.

A woman wears a mask as she walks along a street in front of a Chinese temple during a hazy day in Wuhan, Hubei province on Monday. China's carbon emissions could be nearly 20 percent higher than previously thought, a new analysis of official Chinese data showed on Sunday, suggesting the pace of global climate change could be even faster than currently predicted.

Hi Guys!
All of my life, I thought that L.A., Denver, Sacramento, & dozens of other cities here the US! When I came across this picture, it stuck me that the Chinese people have got to clean it up; but how? When George W. was in office, he was trying to get his CEO buddies a huge deal by sending over to China. When W. brought the two countries together.
Unfortunately. George for this particular idea of his had stopped because he was never one to look at the whole big problem ... George didn't have the aptitude to foresee all the the problems that this sort of job would to bring in the very short future.
The original plan was good for a multi-millionaires who had W in the pockets. W refers to ecological matters is to call the people fighting for a cleaner ecology "Tree Huggers". In fact during one of his sickening speeches, he referred to Woody Harrilson a commie tree hugger. Say what you will about Woody, this man will work to keep the trees alive so they can do what they were put here.
What W thought he was doing was wonderful. However, certain factories who do have a pollution problems. W thought what he did was wonderful. What Numb Nuts didn't do was to train the people who work there about how to fix some of this pollution. No, everybody who was in charge dropped that like a bomb. It's sad, too, because what I've heard about China's problems with pollution started up just in time for Numb Nuts and his moronic friends didn't care what happened to it's people. In fact, W was about as angry as Nixon when he left office.
The depth of some of these GOPs running for office is about as pond scum. I just get really get angry about the hypocritical message of lies. If Mitt wins this this race, it is a fact that I'll leave the Country. I just cannot and will not be part of a Country who will be worse than the 1950!!! I will proudly call my self an ex-patriate. No. I haven't done anything bad, no felonies, etc. Growing up in the 50's, 60's ,etc., did a lot of marching against the what the politicians were doing really stupid; like bending what the Constitution stood for; W never even read the Constitution1 A piece of paper that as President he should have memorized and understood what it actually says.
Finally, when the US & China got together, sending over all factory items for his CEO's to top off and never sharing any of things that were going on, well.....
I hope you understand what I was saying about W, the worst President of all time. I just don't want another Numb Nuts who could make things worse here. There is no guarantee. but I'll be you 10 to 1, if Romney gets in, I'll smile and wave and say, I;m 10,000 miles away & Romney can keep his ego quieted for 10 minutes!
