Another Bush screw-up may put his last-minute regulations in peril

In a nutshell, Bush is having government agencies issue new last-minute regulations now, in order to make it harder for Obama to overturn them. It's a long convoluted story, but Bush thought that if the agencies issued the new regulations more than 60 days before the end of his term, it would be harder for Obama to challenge them. Only problem, Bush got his math a little wrong. In fact, the cut-off date for "easy new regulations" isn't November (this month), it was some time this past summer. That will make it much easier to overturn Bush's last-minute conservative free for all.
