  1. We knew Obama would select a watermelon for EPA. He’s a watermelon himself and he owes a lot to the support of watermelons.

To some degree, he’s exacerbating and perpetuating them. The watermelon ideas for the environment completely contradict all engineering and economics, so they are sure to reduce wealth and damage standards of living except for the wealthiest.
