You do realize that Obama and the country are not one and the same don't you?

(Hint: insults mean you have nothing better to say)

Not exactly... air can be localized based on geographic limitations (see Southern California). Is Southern California smog ending up in New York City?

Like I said, do you want America to look like this?

So by your logic, we should join the non-players in a race to the bottom (and Earth's destruction)?

According to the US Constitution. All legislation is to be passed by both chambers of congress and the President. Not some agency, dictating law, policy, rules & regulations, under the presidents orders.
