Obama in Africa: ‘The Planet Will Boil Over’ If Everybody Has a Car, Air Conditioning and a
The Blaze ^ | 7/1/13 | Jason Howerton

Speaking at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday, President Barack Obama claimed that “the planet will boil over” if everyone has access to air conditioning, automobiles and big houses.

That is, unless the world finds “new ways of producing energy,” he said.

“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy,” Obama said.

Monkey Man Jug Ears is not only a financial wizard, a petroleum engineer, a medical expert, a military tactician and a Climatoligist.

Now he is a Soothsayer too, gazing into his crystal ball to see our future.

Remember when other climate Chicken-Littles like Obama warned of impending disasters?

That the planet would run out of food by the 1970’s? (it didn’t)

That hundreds of millions would be dying of starvation every year? (didn’t happen)

That the global death rate would skyrocket (it has actually gone down)

That Pacific Islands would be under water 15 years ago? (they aren’t)

That we were heading into another Ice Age in the 1970’s? (Duh!)

No wonder flies like landing on him. They love licking off the stupid that oozes out of his pores.

Obama Dancing In Tanzania

Where's his natural rhythm?

He's an embarrassment to his race - at least the black half.

If that's the best he can do he'll be kicked out of the brotherhood.

Let me see if I got this straight.
He gives them 7 billion dollars that we borrowed from the Chinese so that they can have electricity, then tells them not to use it because it will destroy the world, if we Americans—the people forking over the money—don’t destroy it first.
But everything may work out if they ‘celebrate diversity’ .......
OK. SN, AFU.

"Speaking in Cape Town Sunday, Obama criticized Zimbabwe for bad governance and said the country is unlikely to have fair elections later this month due to fear and insecurity among voters and bias by the police and military."

0bama should know from his own rulership.

Instead of addressing him as President, I will address him as Party Secretary.

You mean he even rivals the Genius of the Carpathians?

He’s not returning to the bush, is he?

Typical liberal hypocrite.

What’s boiling is my rage at him and all his ilk.

“The world will boil over” from our melanin endowed Mansurian Candidate reminds me of another whopper said by another of the melanin endowed, Rep. Hank Johnson, who said “Guam will turn over, ....capsize”.

The world is just finding out that help from Obama and his Oligarchs is not help at all. In fact it is the exact opposite of help. It is hurt.

With so many people, isn’t there a danger that Africa could tip over and fall into the ocean?

The natural reaction is to assert Obama is a bigot.

I contend that’s not true, as he doesn’t believe Americans should have cars or AC either.

Check his policies and the natural result, before taking the time to disagree.

FYI, the “thinner egg shells due to DDT” is a load of crap, promoted by “Silent Spring” 1962.

The DDT ban was imposed once folks recognized that millions of third world lives were being saved through the control of malaria.

The documented “reasoning” was “OMG, if these populations thrive, they will want control of their own natural resources”.
Interestingly Nixon and Ford were the advocates of third world population control and the DDT ban.

An unlikely source for more details is the July 2007 issue of Nat Geo.

Obama’s an elitist. He doesn’t care about globull warming, he’s just using it as a prop.

It's far worse then that. The fundamental difference between communism and capitalism is private ownership. If through the guise of the most idiotic form of junk science, ‘’climate change/ global warming’’ you can prevent liberty-loving, free market capitalists and ordinary folks from using their own land and resources as they have the right to, in accord with reasonable laws and mindfulness of nature, to better their lives and others through their talent, driving ambition , intelligence, honest hard work and God's gift of freedom, then one who is a Communist might someday bring about the ultimate aim of Communism-- the destruction of capitalism and the elimination of liberty and freedom.

Bet he gets to keep his: the $100 million vacations, the private jets with a carbon footprint per trip bigger than Moochelle-Antoinette”s caboose, the gas guzzling limo cortège of press sycophants that follow them around the globe, and the global warming that comes from the hot air that comes out of his mouth.
What’s the size of the house he and Mooch and the girls are renting on Martha’s Vineyard? 25,000 or 45,000 sq ft? I could go on, but its late, and I’m tired, and really fed up.
