"What we know is that oilsands creates a big carbon footprint. So the dilemma that Canada faces, the United States faces, and China and the entire world faces is, how do we obtain the energy that we need to grow our economies in a way that is not rapidly accelerating climate change?" Obama told CBC News on Tuesday.

Says the man who flew Air Force One all the way to Denver to sign a bill created in DC.

By way of a weekend stop in Chicago.

And according to History Channel program Special Access on Airforce One; not just one 747 flies the president around, but two. The backup goes on every mission, as does a few C-17's

Granted, it's all part of presidential security, I get that. But that's still a whole lot of carbon and fuel to sign a bill that could have been driven over to the WH for his sig.

I wonder if this idiot understands that China is not a country that cares about pollution, only in succeeding in building their military and economy no matter what.
