Obama: Daughter's asthma attack made climate change personal
The Hill ^ | 4/8/2015 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 04/09/2015 11:33:58 AM PDT by mojito

President Obama said in an interview broadcast Wednesday that his push to address climate change has been partly influenced by a frightening moment when his daughter Malia had an asthma attack as a 4-year-old.

“What I can relate to is the fear a parent has, when your 4-year-old daughter comes up to you and says, ‘Daddy, I’m having trouble breathing.’ The fright you feel is terrible,” the president said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Wednesday.

“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.”

I wonder how long its going to take to clean his asthma creating stench out of the White House for the new occupants?

What makes you think he plans on leaving the Oral Office and his personal B-747?

Trust me by the time Jan 21, 2017 rolls around we will be smack dab in the middle of MARTIAL LAW, and our Lord and Savior had not completely finished his TRANSFORMATION.

WHO WILL STOP HIM? WHO WILL REMOVE HIM? JOHN BONER? MITCH MCCONNELL? JOHN ROBERTS? STACIA HYLTON? JAMES THOMPSON?

Me thinks no one dare go up against the first HALF and HALF complected Dick Tator in America.

I guess asthma never existed before the advent of the internal combustion engine.

"Health risks associated with a changing climate"?

Be sure to wear sunscreen?

Ya know what I’d like to see happen Kozy is for Monica Lewinsky to have the stain tested for illegal drugs like the cocaine Bill was always rumored to have been in to.

‘Daddy, I’m having trouble breathing.’

Sure, that’s how four year olds talk. Has he ever been around one?

‘Daddy, I’m having trouble breathing.’ I don’t think so-—I’m sure his kid said “father, I am experiencing respiratory distress.”

Probably had a little cold. And think about it....every kid says that at some point....like when their sister is trying to smother them with a pillow......

I don't believe the hospital story at all.

The earliest recorded reference to respiratory distress – a disorder characterized by “noisy breathing” (wheezing?) is found in China in 2600 BC.

Good point. Four year olds don't say "I'm having trouble". If she said it, and she didn't, it would have come out like "It's hard to breathe" or "I can't breathe."

“Plenty of children of smoker have asthma.”

Plenty of children of smokers do NOT have asthma.

Is smoking plus mold a bad interaction?
That’s my guess.

Idea for a movie.

Liam Neeson to star.

Climate Change (Kevin Hart) breaks into Liam’s house, kills his wife and rapes his daughter. He vows revenge, leading to an around the world man hunt. In the climatic scene, he pushes Climate Change off the Space Needle to it’s death. Suddenly the sky is filled with rainbows and Captain Planet wakes up from his coma.

Mold is worse than smoking IMHO.

I grew up in a non-smoking household and suffered from asthma for years. Emergencies in the middle of the night were frequent.

My 5 kids were raised in a household where both parents smoked, None of them got asthma.

Baraq’s lake adjacent mansion in Chicago is about 100 yrs old.
So you know it’s got mold.

“She left the SE part of Kansas and homesteaded in a drier climate in SE Colorado.”

The humidity in Washington D.C. must be terrible on his daughter. I think they should all just pack up and go to some remote desert in the SW. Heck - Kenya would be good too. For the sake of the children.
