Obama mocks climate skeptics at LCV dinner
Politico ^ | June 25, 2014 | By ANDREW RESTUCCIA

Posted on 06/26/2014 11:01:50 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

President Barack Obama lit into GOP climate change skeptics in a speech Wednesday night, delighting a crowd of 800 to 900 environmentalists in Washington’s Ronald Reagan Building.

He said Republicans in Congress are out of touch with the American public, who “don’t just say, ‘No, I don’t believe anything scientists say.’ Except — where? — in Congress. Folks will tell you climate change is a hoax or a fad or a plot — a liberal plot.”

Obama also took aim at Republicans for pleading ignorance on climate by saying they aren’t scientists.

“I’m not a doctor either, but if a bunch of doctors tell me that tobacco can cause lung cancer, then I’ll say, ‘OK.’ It’s not that hard,” said Obama, who drew loud applause at the League of Conservation Voters’ annual Capital Dinner. . .

He’s going to spend the next 2.5 years rubbing our noses in it. It’s what he’s good at, and it’s one of the few pleasures he gets in his job.

This is why Obama is too immature for the job.

Mocking those who disagree with you never changes anyone's mind, and he actually needs to change minds if he really sought to push his causes to victory.

Instead, his mockery can be interpreted as a lack of confidence, in this case, in anthropomorphic climate change.

His immaturity damages his causes.

Enviro-whackos. Another group of society freaks that are easy to pander to with taxpayer money in exchange for votes and campaign “donations”. All that, while running one of the biggest scams in American history on an ignorant percentage of the electorate.

The jug-eared jackass insists on telling us that man-made “climate change” is the indisputable truth. Need we go through the long list of things he’s told us that turned out not to be true?

“The jug-eared jackass insists on telling us that man-made “climate change” is the indisputable truth. Need we go through the long list of things he’s told us that turned out not to be true?”

He is the worst advocate for any cause; he has no credibility or credentials at all except being a mulatto, and that alone shuts down not just any criticism or disagreement, but forces others to pretend to concur.

This “presidency” will forever be remembered for the de facto censoring of any honest conversation about race and a showcase for the shortcomings of affirmative action. Weeks ago it was reported that Obama was upset about the Nobel Peace Prize; if true it is only because it showed that his accolades were in fact fabricated “attendance awards”...

This is the first big skirmish of the final offensive to get a carbon tax and trading scheme. The banksters have been working on this for years and they see the window of opportunity closing as Obama loses more and more political capital and ‘global warming’ wears thinner and thinner. The carbon scheme will be the biggest outright theft of middle class wealth since the Federal Reserve was created and they will not let the opportunity pass. We will see increasingly strident polemics pushing this as Obama’s term winds down.

Nazis cited “science” in their demonization of Jews as well.
