(2014 @ West Point) Obama: US can’t ‘exempt’ itself from global climate rules
The Hill ^ | 5/28/14 | LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ

President Obama forcefully told West Point graduates Wednesday that the U.S. must lead on climate change, just days before the administration is expected to announce the cornerstone of his climate legacy.

Obama railed against climate change skeptics, saying they make it harder for nations to cooperate in the fight against global warming.

"We can’t call on others to make commitments to combat climate change if so many of our political leaders deny that it is taking place," Obama said on Wednesday.

"You see, American influence is always stronger when we lead by example. We cannot exempt ourselves from the rules that apply to everyone else," he added.

Obama went on to say that "cooperation must energize the global effort to combat climate change." Using strong rhetoric, Obama called the warming climate a "creeping national security crisis" that will shape the West Point graduates’ time in uniform.

I still haven't seen this idiot's birth certificate.

Why is this POS addressing anyone at west point unless he is asking where does some officer wants his car parked.

Maybe if Jackass Obama had brought his Paris Treaty to the Senate for consent as he was required to do by the Constitution, he might have some credibility, but Jackass Obama just made an executive agreement which died when he left office.

Obama ceded international affairs to China by failing to oppose them. Now it is too late. China is coming.

Make no mistake about it, Barack is here to destroy America.

By any means possible. Death by 10,000 cuts.

The former holder of that distinction, Jimmy Carter, should send Barry thank you flowers every day.

Al Gore can have his very own religion.

However, the US government can’t shove it down our throats.

Politicians can’t solve much of anything.

They can’t even seem to hold a vote to spend money.

My rule in winter: stay warm.

You mean you haven’t seen a genuine birth certificate issued by the State of Hawaii. We all saw the crude, counterfeit forgery that he produced because of the prodding by Donald J Trump.

Two of the world’s best forensic document examiners testified that it is a fake.

The “creeping national security crisis” was ISIS that the Kenyan was the father of by his idiocy in Iraq and Syria.
