Secretary Clinton names climate czar
The Politico ^ | January 26, 2009 | MIKE ALLEN

Posted on 01/26/2009 9:22:37 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday will name Todd D. Stern, a trusted top aide in her husband’s White House, to serve as a special envoy for climate change, Democratic officials said.

Climate was largely ignored by President George W. Bush’s State Department, but the officials said Stern’s appointment shows it will be a priority throughout President Barack Obama’s administration.

Stern was staff secretary, a sensitive job that makes him the gatekeeper to every piece of paper the President sees and signs. Also for Clinton, he was senior White House negotiator at the Kyoto and Buenos Aires climate negotiations.

So Stern is an authority on the issue, knows the inner workings of the White House and has a close relationship with the secretary of State.

“This is another indication that President Obama is taking the issue of climate crisis seriously across the administration,” one official said. “This is a global problem. You can’t just fix it here. You have to fix it everywhere.”

At first glance I thought the article was saying that Hitlery had named a ‘Climax Czar.’

For Hillary that would probably be Huma Abedin.

It sure as hell ain't Bill.

“thanks a lot Todd” (a tiny SNL reference) or I could have used “I’m sick of guys named Todd” (George Carlin)

I’m living in a George Orwell novel.

So, let me try to understand this. We are going to borrow money (we have none of our own) from foreign countries to give to foreign countries in the name of climate control???

Yes indeed. It is the ultimate plan in accomplishing a few things: redistribution of wealth on a global basis, draining the US of wealth, removal of our status as a "superpower", and removing any glimmer of US exceptionalism. It will also serve to address our illegal alien problem, making the US a "bad" place to sneak in to.

Does not our country have more problems than to worry about climate change......which nobody can prove? If they want to spend money, spend it on people that have lost their jobs.

I would just as soon see the Chicago thugs.

Duh, Hillary is from Chicago. Good friends with Rostenkowski a product of the Cook County machine and the son of Alderman Joseph P. Rostenkowski of the 32nd ward.

I wonder what the salary is for this made-up, useless job which will be mostly hopping around the world propagandizing, anyhow.

I wonder how one finds out what he's going to be paid.

In carbon credits, maybe?

but when Hillary grew up in Chicago she was a Goldwater girl!

I was just referring to how overloaded the Hope/Change Administration is with Clinton warmovers.

I’ve wondered if she pays this muslim to interact with her, or is Huma just another idiot homosexual.
