Reagan and Bush Jr. If it wasn't for Bush Jr. then we'd have started on climate change, and stem cells would be much farther along in research
Also, a certain multi-trillion dollar war that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and incredible damage to US moral authority.
Yeah that's a given though
Not like anyone should have a moral authority.
Moral authority simply means the reputation of being in-line with one's morals.
Climate change inaction is actually pretty firmly in the laps of corporations. ExxonMobil knew climate change was being caused by human use of fossil fuels, but instead of continuing their research on biofuels during the oil crisis, they fired all the researchers and hid their scientific research.
Yes but their propaganda campaign worked a lot better when the VP was an oil executive and the President was spreading it for them.
Don't know why you got down voted though. You're right.
