Obama: Daughter's asthma brings home climate change debate (barf alert)
Chicago Tribune ^ | April 8, 2015

Posted on 04/08/2015 5:24:55 AM PDT by Zakeet

President Barack Obama says his memory of the fear over his daughter's preschool asthma attacks brings home the debate over climate change.

Obama says he knows firsthand how scary it can be to have a child who struggles to breathe. He is arguing that preventing climate change could improve public health by reducing illnesses such as asthma.

Obama tells ABC he felt "terrible" fright when a young Malia told him she couldn't breathe and had to be rushed to the emergency room. He says he thinks every parent would wish to reduce such incidents by improving the environment.

This moron is enough to gag just about anyone who has an I.Q. greater than a house plant.

Just kill all the plants, Barry. If they weren’t having sex, it’s likely the kid wouldn’t have much else to be allergic to (except vacations, new clothes, more chemicals on the cleaning lady’s cart than in fracwater, and all the different fragrances people are using to cover up the stink in DeeCee).

The same person which endorsed getting rid of the Albuterol which worked but said it ruins the environment.

I have said this elsewhere (and forgive if I repeat myself) but when I read of instances in which the left mention children I am reminded of a scene in “Nineteen Eighty-Four” in which Winston Smith, while in prison, bumps into an adult couple he knew quite well beforehand. The father tells Winston that their children had been trained to be informants and then they (the children) promptly reported their own parents as allegedly plotting against the Party and Big Brother.

Remember the Obama/Media Mantra:

The kids are strictly off-limits - until we need to exploit them for strictly political reasons!

This is right up there with BJ Clinton’s tales of the burning black churches of his youth.

About two years ago our daughter developed severe asthma. Life flight even had to take her the Pittsburgh Children’s one time. A year later the asthma mysteriously disappeared. Knock on wood, we went from multiple daily treatments to nothing. Nada. Anyway, when obamacare kicked in we received a letter from our insurance company that due to the ACA, the asthma preventer could be quantity controlled. Yep. My two-year-old was essentially death paneled. Praise God, we’ve had no problems in just over a year.

So he had/has a fat daughter and The Mooch decided to cram her school lunch program, that wastes food and leaves kids hungry, down the throats of America’s kids.

Next Obola’s kid had asthma (of course, HE had good health insurance ... so he had to ruin it for the rest of the country) and that is the excuse to cram Global Warming voodoo//lies down the country’s throat and use it to bankrupt those who can least afford it and redistribute the money he’s stealing to his “green” cronies.

Simplistically summarized: No food (for the kids & killing farming with regs), no energy (regs & shutting down the coal plants), no security (open borders) & thanks to the greenies, no water in CA. So far, I’d say Obola is living up to his name .... killing/ruining everything he touches.

One of my kids had asthma in the 80’s, before “globull warming” had even started.

One of the biggest lies of the catastrophic warming cult is equating CO2 with "pollution". CO2 is not only NOT a "pollutant", it is a necessary ingredient for life on earth. Calling it a "pollutant" is equivalent to calling water a "poison" because people occasionally drown in it.

Yet, because of the lies of Obama and his sycophants, CO2 is now a "pollutant". CO2 no more causes asthma attacks, than water causes bullet wounds. The real pollutants, which some have related to asthma attacks, have declined to near pristine levels since the smog of Los Angeles was blamed for illnesses in the 60s.

Wow, Odumbo, that would really pull at the heartstrings if there was the least bit of scientific or medical evidence for your claim, or if in fact there had been any climate change in all the years the daughter has been alive.
The combination of stupidity and dishonesty --- it burns. Period

“Praise God, we’ve had no problems in just over a year.”

I’ve just said a prayer for your daughter. I suggest we all do that.

Her negligent parents chose to live in a congested city while Daddy was a smoker.
How could she not have asthma?

Guess he should move to Antarctica where there are no pollens to trigger those attacks.

The cause of death of my great grandmother in the 1920s was listed as “Chronic Asthma”. Too much global warming back then?
