President Obama says that climate change became a personal issue for him when his older daughter Malia, now 16, was rushed to the emergency room with an asthma attack when she was just a toddler.
“Well you know Malia had asthma when she was 4 and because we had good health insurance, we were able to knock it out early….” the president told ABC News’ chief health and medical editor, Dr. Richard Besser, in a one-on-one interview yesterday. “And if we can make sure that our responses to the environment are reducing those incidents, that's something that I think every parent would wish for…”
Besser, who met with the president yesterday at Howard University's Health Sciences Simulation Lab, asked the president why people should care about the impact of climate change on public health when there are so many other pressing health problems.
“Keep in mind that climate change is just one more example of how the environment will cause health problems, and I think most people understand that,” the president responded.
Obama said that when he went to college in 1979 in Los Angeles, he could feel his lungs burn after about five minutes of running outside because the smog and pollution were so bad.
We took steps to deal with it, and today, it's not perfect, but it's a whole lot better,” Obama said. “And the same thing is true with climate change.”

Blah blah blah.
This man is a moron.
Course the burning lungs had nothing to do with burning a big ol’ fattie...
Bottom line...”Send us all your money. We will decide how little of a pittance to return to you to live your pathetic little peon life.”
You can’t knock out asthma. Also if he is so concerned about asthma why send his daughter to Hawaii and India which are tropical regions which are probably the worst climates for people with breathing problems.
One of my friend’s sons had asthma when he was young and taken to the ER on at least 1 occasion. I remember her telling me that the doctor told her that some kids have asthma when their young and they “outgrow” it (for lack of a better term. He did a few years later and was very active in sports and is now in the AF.

So....does your brother still live in a mud hut?
Because he’s full of bullshtein.
Then stop smoking and flying that 747 all over the world on frivolous trips
Add asthma to the list of horrors caused by global warming climate change.
By the way, does anyone remember acid rain? You know, the environmental boogeyman du jour from a few decades ago? Or “the rainforests?”. Phosphates? Freon? DDT?
Why isn’t the earth depopulated by now, Mr. Gore?
