I heard Obama's speech on NPR and thought of this video, Maureen. We've come a long long way from 1 to 44. Si, se puede cambiar.

I see this morning that my home state of California is going to get the #44 treatment. Nice job, President Obama; that's the kind of morph I can really get behind!

Sen. Barbara Boxer's Statement on CA Waiver Announcement (h/t TPM):

January 25, 2009

Washington, DC - U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today made the following remarks:

Senator Boxer said: "Reports of President Obama's decision to revisit the outrageous denial of the California waiver by the Bush Administration are more than welcome news. An immediate EPA review of the waiver decision shows respect for California and the 18 other states -- representing more than half the U.S. population -- who are waiting for the green light to address global warming pollution from motor vehicles. As Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, I will be working with the new EPA Administrator to ensure that the California waiver moves forward as fast as possible. When the waiver is signed, it will be a signal to Detroit that a huge market awaits them if they do the right thing and produce the cleanest, most efficient vehicles possible."
