Obama tells Germans: I’ll use executive orders to tackle global warming
Canada Free Press ^ | June 20, 2013

Posted on 06/20/2013 3:58:48 PM PDT by IbJensen

I wonder if the Germans gave any thought as they were listening to this to what can happen when an elected executive consolidates too much power for himself under the guise of some sort of emergency or crucial imperative. Obama’s friends at the AP, when they’re not mad at him for snooping on their phone calls, report:

The plan, with details expected to be revealed in coming weeks, comes as Obama has been under increasing pressure from environmental groups and lawmakers from states harmed by Superstorm Sandy to cut pollution from existing power plants, the largest source of climate-altering gases. Several major environmental groups and states have threatened to sue the administration to force cuts to power plant emissions. And just last week, former Vice President Al Gore, a prominent climate activist and fellow Democrat, pointedly called on Obama to go beyond “great words” to “great actions.”

It was unclear whether the White House’s plans would include controls on existing power plants. An administration official, who wasn’t authorized to comment on the plan by name, said the White House was still weighing it. But since the administration has already proposed action on future power plants, the law would likely compel it to eventually tackle the remaining plants, or it would be forced to through litigation.

Obama’s remarks in Berlin echoed comments he made in his State of the Union and inaugural speeches this year.

“This is the global threat of our time,” Obama said Wednesday. “And for the sake of future generations, our generation must move toward a global compact to confront a changing climate before it is too late. That is our job. That is our task. We have to get to work.”

Some environmentalists who cheered those remarks when they were made months ago, criticized them Wednesday.

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if he was our uncle. As it is he’s just a phony, lying, Muslim, anti-American piece of crap someone scraped off their shoe!

Barry (or Barky as his mother referred to him) and that other jackass Clinton have lots in common. They both never knew who their father was and neither did their mothers.

Gee. Think how bad things would have been had Sandy not been a mere Category One!

Shut up, Cupcake. You do more harm to this nation while abroad than the stringless dummy you picked as vice-president.

What a crew we have ruining our lives! Barry, Scranton Joe, and Hillary the Dragon Lady! Every member of Barry’s team is a leftist misfit jerk!

I guess the hurricanes that rocked Galveston, TX, and the Long Island Express were caused by global warming.

The man is a idiot. A idiot on display.

The largest polluters are the developing economies, China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Korea etc etc NOT AMERICA.

Is he suggesting that he is powerful enough to tell them what to do via executive order?

Truly a presidential idiot on the global stage representing America!

Well, he’s right you know. Just because most people disagree with him, that doesn’t mean he’s wrong. It means they’re wrong.

Poor guy, the inferiority complex on display reveals he’s a very unhappy child.

Even at his age, it has never dawned on him that you present your ideas, and if they are reasoned folks will buy in.

Al Roker says Sandy was caused by human-caused global warming. Isn’t that good enough for everyone?

“Al Roker says Sandy was caused by human-caused global warming. Isn’t that good enough for everyone?”

He was honest enough to reveal that he crapped his pant’s in the White House, just tell us why he would FEEL the need to Lie about MMGW.

(Liberals consider the above to be Proof)

Al Roker is a clown. He is a parody of a weatherman and is probably in need of a laxative.

There are tyrants, and then there are despots.

Tyrants are utterly unredeemable; however, there have been in recent history benevolent despots who saved the respective populace from a progressive bent that would destroy the nation.

Franco, Pinochet, Fujumori.

Perhaps America needs a good dose of that, especially when one considers that the Constitution has been shredded and flushed by this wave of progressive insanity.

This lousy central socialist government has been dictating and destroying our lives for a century.

They, in their infinite wisdom, engineer our automobiles, homes, military and civilian societies.

Flush your toilet, snap on your seatbelt, stare at the dashboard and wonder when your airbag is going to explode in your face. Flip a light switch and turn on a mercury filled Chinese light bulb. Eat a can of tuna knowing that, thanks to Uncle Whiskers, there’s no dolphin in it. In fact the entire fishing industry of America has been relegated to the dustbin of history. With the exception, perhaps, of Alaska which is productive, but overly regulated.

This litany could go on and on like the paperwork that dictate Obamacare and will dictate allowing millions of illegal housebreakers to remain in America and bring in all the rest of their families who generally represent the scum of the societies they left.
