Obama in Alaska: "We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their repair"

President Barack Obama is painting a doomsday scenario for the Arctic and beyond if climate change isn't dealt with fast: entire nations submerged underwater, cities abandoned and refugees fleeing in droves as conflict breaks out across the globe.

It's a harrowing image of a future that Obama insists is inevitable unless the world follows his and America's lead by making sweeping cuts to greenhouse gases.

Lest his sense of urgency get lost, Obama was to drive the message home on Tuesday by hiking a melting glacier in Alaska.

Obama is counting on Alaska's exquisite but deteriorating landscape to elicit a sense of urgency that his previous calls to action on climate change have not.

He opened his three-day trip to the nation's largest state on Monday with a speech to an Arctic climate summit, calling global warming an escalating crisis already disturbing Alaskans' way of life.

'We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair,' Obama said. Alluding ironically to the threat of rising seas, he castigated leaders who deny climate change as 'increasingly alone - on their own shrinking island.'

Meanwhile, amid concerns that the U.S. has ceded influence to Russia in strategic Arctic waters, the White House announced Tuesday that it would ask Congress to speed up construction of new icebreakers to protect U.S. interests and natural resources. The U.S. currently has two working icebreakers, compared to Russia's 40.

“We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their repair”
- Barack Hussein Obama

It’s a little late for that warning. Our children were condemned to a lifetime of debt and an economy beyond repair on Election Day, 2008. Objective historians may decide that 2008’s election day was the worst day in our country’s history, the day we paid the first installment of the cost for generations of liberal educational indoctrination.

'We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair,'

That is his goal and is doing a good job of taking us to that end.

Okay but it’s all about percentages. How many total people were asked? A hundred, a thousand? What parties what political groups? Sure there are high percentages it appears that the Dem’s are doing good; were those Dem’s that were asked? Just asking.

How many total people were asked?

Did you read the results of the survey? It states that 1,563 registered voters were surveyed. All the details and methodology are described therein, including a link on the bottom of the page. You can also contact the source for more info.

Well it must have been really buried. So less than 2,000 voters determined how the US feels. That’s a big extrapolation; like if a kitten breathes okay at 1,563 feet then it should be able to breathe at 156,300,000 feet.

What a crock of crap from the phony hypocrite Liar in Chief, pushing the anthropogenic global warming hoax as if he cared about "the children".
What Obama himself actually has done is stolen the wages of future generations of American children by running up un-serviceable government debt that threatens the economic collapse of the nation.
Loathsome, despicable ...
