An accomplishment for Obama?

My local newspaper reports that, due to the ongoing recession and the introduction of fracking to release new natural gas deposits--the latter of which the Democrats tend to oppose--carbon dioxide emissions in the United States are as low as they were in 1992.  So by failing to revive the economy and by failing in his attempt to prevent oil and gas companies from fracking, President Obama has complied, apparently, with the Kyoto protocol.

Added note; the latest gasoline usage numbers indicate that gasoline usage in May 2012 is lower than it was in 2001.  The peak was, of course, just before Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid began to head the House of Representatives and the Senate.  Looks like someone has failed in his goal to get people commuting again!
