Obama to Greta: 'You and Me, We're a Team'
American Thinker ^ | 11/21/2019 | John Eidson

Posted on 11/21/2019 8:00:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind

During her recent visit to Washington, DC, Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg was hailed by Barack Obama as “one of our planet’s greatest advocates.”  When the two met prior to her speech before Congress, the former president assured her of his own environmental bona fides with this: “You and me, we’re a team.”

Cropped close-up from Obama Foundation YouTube

To demonstrate her passionate commitment to reducing fossil fuel emissions, Greta traveled from her country to the U.S. by a solar powered yacht, rather than a gas-guzzling private jet, the most planet-destructive mode of transportation.  Her “carbon-free” trip to America was largely a symbolic gesture, but there’s no doubt she’s a true believer in the hotly-disputed theory that fossil fuels are destroying the planet. 

If she thinks Obama is on her team, she’s one of the most gullible and uninformed 16-year-olds in the world.  Since she apparently knows little about his carbon-consumptive living, I will share that information here.  According to TIME, following are a few of the lifestyle choices he made in the first five months after leaving the White House in January 2017, each of which speaks volumes about how seriously he takes his own feigned call for “each and every one of us” to make drastic cutbacks in the use of fossil fuels.

● He bought an 8,200 sq. ft., 9-bedroom, fully air-conditioned mansion in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the nation’s capitol.

 

● The day he left office, he flew 2,200 miles in a near-empty U.S. government Boeing 747 all the way across the continent to Palm Springs, California for his first post-presidency vacation.

She is currently travelling back across the N Atlantic on SV La Vagabonde, having hitched a ride with YouTube stars Riley and Elayna and their 11-month-old son Lennon.

Weird camera angle in that picture. Probably low because Greta is 4’6” tall and they didn’t want to show Obama towering over her.

"...You and Me, We're a Team..."

Besides being Global Scolds, completely unrooted in reality and logic, they DO have a lot in common:

If they hit an iceberg, the irony would be delicious.

Typical Dem: “You little people need to change the way you live your horrible lives, but I am too important to do that myself.” Pathetic.

They will miss Sebastian.

But they’ll be certain to hit at least one North Atlantic storm.

Riley and Elayna have been cruising for years, but they have been intentionally avoiding heavy weather as much as they can.

And they have an infant on board.

They were smart enough to bring on an experienced ocean racer.
