We can’t control nature. Where does global warming fall into this statement?

Big words from The Failed One™

On November 19, 2008, while addressing the topic of climate change and reducing emissions, Presidential candidate Barack Obama said,

“Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response.”

But, on November 15, 2009, President Barack Obama and other world leaders agreed to delay a climate pact.

U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders on Sunday supported delaying a legally binding climate pact until 2010 or even later, but European negotiators said the move did not imply weaker action.

…

Given the time factor and the situation of individual countries we must, in the coming weeks, focus on what is possible and not let ourselves be distracted by what is not possible,” Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the leaders.

What “situation” in other countries could possibly be more important than climate change? Isn’t the world going to explode (or was that Al Gore?) or something if we don’t move quickly?

Copenhagen was seen as the last chance for countries to agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, aiming to fight a rise in temperatures that many scientists predict will bring rising sea levels and more floods and droughts.

The last chance? Oh great! Now what? I can hardly wait to hear what Al Gore has to say about this.

President Barack Hussein Obama talks about the public option and the single payer system, in his own words.

Now you know where he stands on the issue. Right?

The contradictions keep piling up, and most of them occurred before Barack Hussein Obama was even sworn into office. Watch this one. It’s a bit long, but it points out a lot of glaring contradictions.

If this is what he meant by ‘Hope and Change’, then we’re pretty much screwed. Aren’t we?

You thought I was kidding when I said, “Now that we’re clear on health care for illegal immigrants, let’s move on to some more items of interest such as Iran, the surge, the environment, campaign funding, guns, nuclear energy, Israel, Rev. Wright, and meeting with our enemies, shall we?”

Yeah, it’s not so funny now, is it?

Twenty-nine seconds plus three sentences or two paragraphs equals one complete contradiction.

If a child, even if they are illegal immigrant, shows up in an emergency room with tuberculosis and nobody is giving them treatment and then they are going back to the playground and playing next to our kids.

So, I think there is a basic standard of decency where if somebody is in a death situation or a severe illness that we are going to provide them emergency care. But nobody has talked about providing health insurance to illegal immigrants, I want to make that absolutely clear.

Let me condense this for those of you who may have trouble getting from point A to point B. If an illegal immigrant shows up at the emergency room with a severe illness, you know, the kind that lands a person in the emergency room in the first place, they will be treated but we’re not going to provide health insurance to illegal immigrants. Got that?

Now that we’re clear on health care for illegal immigrants, let’s move on to some more items of interest such as Iran, the surge, the environment, campaign funding, guns, nuclear energy, Israel, Rev. Wright, and meeting with our enemies, shall we?

On Wednesday, October 2, 2002, in a speech against going to war with Iraq, then Illinois State Senator, Barack Hussein Obama, said,

The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of war. But we ought not?—?we will not?—?travel down that hellish path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.

Yet, during the debate with John McCain on September 26, 2008, Presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama clearly says,

“No U.S. soldier ever dies in vain because they are carrying out the missions of their Commander-in-Chief, and we honor all the service they’ve provided.”

With Barack Hussien Obama, it all depends on your definition of vain, doesn’t it?

We’ll be pragmatic, instead of idealogic. We’ll bring people together rather than push them apart. We’ll listen to other people’s ideas. But we don’t want the people who created the mess to do a lot of talking. They should just get out of the way so we can clean up the mess.

President Barack Hussein Obama forgets that prior to becoming President of the United States he was Senator Barack Hussein Obama, junior Senator from Illinois who voted on many of the issues which are now considered the mess. Oops.

On October 7, 2008, while campaigning for President, Barack Obama said,

“We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al-Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority.”

On January 14, 2009, just six days before being sworn in as President of the United States, he completely contradicted himself saying,

“I think that we have to so weaken bin Laden’s infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function”

Barack Obama went from “kill bin Laden” to “pin down bin Laden” in 99 days. It’s not a record, but quite impressive, don’t you think?
