In 2000 and 2001, while Barack Obama served as a board member for a Chicago-based charitable foundation


Ah, confused me for a minute. I thought he actually helped to fund a program of his. Nope, he just used other people’s money.

Cap-and-Trade and other carbon credit scams should be unlawful. It’s kind of like a fart tax. If you fart and get caught, you need to put a quarter in the pickle jar - then it’s OK. Once you have enough quarters in the pickle jar, then you can buy more pork-and-bean. Circle of life...

The cost of President Obama’s climate flimflam has now been projected to exceed $2,000,000,000. In 2001, then Senator Obama took a $1.1 million grant from the radical Joyce Foundation to set up the Chicago Climate Exchange which will be heavily involved in the cap and trade scam. Paula DiPerna, who was president of the Joyce Foundation when the grants were paid out, is now executive vice-president of the exchange.
