US President Barack Obama on Friday hit out at naysayers he blamed for peddling "cynical" claims that global warming is a myth to derail a landmark climate change bill in Congress.
Obama warned that the closer the Senate came to passing legislation which has already cleared the House of Representatives, the more opponents would resort to underhand tactics.
"The naysayers, the folks who would pretend that this is not an issue, they are being marginalized," Obama warned in a speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"But I think it's important to understand that the closer we get, the harder the opposition will fight and the more we'll hear from those whose interest or ideology run counter to the much needed action that we're engaged in.
"There are those who will suggest that moving toward clean energy will destroy our economy," Obama said, a day after the release of a poll showing fewer Americans see solid evidence of global warming.
"There are going to be those who... make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change, claims whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary."

Course that just proves that Global Warming is speeding up. :)

Truth hurts <:o(( We are absorbed by money at the Universities that they make every day worth less and less with perverted research...
In 0bambi's world, people who espouse a different position are not merely to be disagreed with, they are to repudiated, demonized, career assassinated, with their wealth taken from them, ostensibly for redistribution, but the first stop is always the government.
"Pray I don't alter the deal any further," says he between the lines.
This is absolutely no way for an American president to talk or behave. He's made enemies out of and gone after Americans with reasonable, defensible positions.
He deserves impeachment on January 22, 2010!

Impeachment in 2010 works better for me.
A real leader works to make his skeptics understand why he believes what he does, why it's good for them, good for the country. Think Reagan. Obama can't defend his positions on anything and resorts to ridicule, threats, punishment and who knows what else. "Rules for Radicals" illustrated in real life.
we must be “marginalized”....we’ll see WHO gets marginalized....
The list, ping
[[It can be done if conservative people will quit sitting on their hands and do something.]]
Tennessee may be doing just that- I REALLY REALLY hope other states wil ltake a VERY strong stand like Tenn is doing- keep your eyes on Tenn- their gov wrote a very strong letter to the government stating that they were NOT goign to put up with them takign away our constitutional RIGHTS
I hope you’re right- I hope it’s not too late- but I think a LOT of damage is being done and will continue to be done by both this administration/Dems, AND the spineless compromising RINOS who won’t take a stand agaisnt the government trampling on our constiututional RIGHTS
