...not read legislation before signing it, they don't read their own memos before releasing them.

White House memo challenges EPA finding on warming (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/6421003.html)
OMB director Peter Orszag writes on his blog (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/blog/09/05/12/ClearingtheAir/):
Media reports today are suggesting that OMB has found fault with EPA’s proposed finding that emissions of greenhouse gases from motor vehicles contribute to air pollution that endangers public health and welfare. Any reports suggesting that OMB was opposed to the finding are unfounded.
The quotations circulating in the press are from a document in which OMB simply collated and collected disparate comments from various agencies during the inter-agency review process of the proposed finding. These collected comments were not necessarily internally consistent, since they came from multiple sources, and they do not necessarily represent the views of either OMB or the Administration. In other words, we simply receive comments from various agencies and pass them along to EPA for consideration, regardless of the substantive merit of those comments. In general, passing along these types of comments to an agency proposing a finding often helps to improve the quality of the notice.
We're in the very best of hands...
