Obama frames 'global warming' as national security threat...

"Make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country," the president says in excerpts of a commencement address prepared for delivery Wednesday at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. "And so we need to act and we need to act now."


These guys never give up, every week he makes the same claims, even though we have not had any global warming for almost two decades now. Why would we listen to a guy anyway, whose every idea and policy has been a failure?

And yet he elects to use an armada of aircraft to travel nearly halfway around the globe each year to sit on that one beach he likes in Hawaii while he has a world class resort, just for him, a short ride away that is paid for by the tax payers and maintained all year long.

Does he really believe climate change is an issue or does he not care if he's a hypocrite?

Obama is a lying idiot. He makes these kind of statements to keep his obamabots attention away from the destruction he is creating.

Yup, take your eyes off the fifty year high in the US poverty rate under Obama, and worry about nonexistent global warming instead.

He feels so threatened about it that he and Michelle took different 747's to tour the world and complain about it.

Of course he does. That's because he doesn't want to do any more than he's forced to do in dealing with real threats. This way he gets to screw over the American people by hurting the economy and restricting their actions.

Why does that sound like a threat?

Hmm, maybe this has something to do with it:

Quote:
His speech to the cadets, by contrast, is focused on what the Obama administration says are immediate risks to national security, including contributing to more natural disasters that result in humanitarian crises and potential new flows of refugees. Further, the president sees climate change aggravating poverty and social tensions that can fuel instability and foster terrorist activity and other violence.
I hope people can read between the lines here. Please don't disappoint me with stupidity or boot licking on this.
