Obama pledges to attack global warming

Sen. Barack Obama promised to cut greenhouse gases during a pair of speeches today in College Park, Maryland, and Baltimore.

Obama, a Democrat seeking his party's nomination in tomorrow's (2/11/08) Maryland primaries, didn't tiptoe around the issue of climate change. Three times during a speech before about 20,000 enthusiastic supporters at the University of Maryland's Comcast basketball arena, he insisted the time has come for action. "We cannot wait to stop global warming," Obama said. "We cannot wait to fix this country."

He pledged to put mandatory caps on carbon dioxide emissions from industry. And he talked about it often enough to imply it was one of his top priorities, along with getting the U.S. out of Iraq by the end of 2009, extending health insurance to all Americans, preventing insurance companies from denying coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions, raising fuel efficiency standards for all vehicles to 40 m.p.g., fixing up crumbling schools and improving America's standing in the world by using more diplomacy to deal with our enemies.

(Footnote: my favorite line during his College Park speech was when he said his enemies were trying to smear him as a "hopemonger." That's funny. He's unlike Cheney and Bush, who are -- in Obama's view -- fearmongers. I guess if you're going to mong something, you might as well mong something with good P.R., like hope. "Warmonger" doesn't sound good. I guess he could try "joymonger" or "lovemonger" or "raisetheminimumwagemonger," but these might not make him sound like a serious candidate.)

During an even rowdier rally with 10,000 supporters at the First Mariner Arena in downtown Baltimore today, Obama said he favors "an environmental protection agency that believes in environmental protection." (Perhaps that's an obvious point, but it was a jab at Bush,

You got that right my friend. Only in the insane country of the USA can a guy with 2 years experience become president. How nuts are we? The world is more dangerous then ever and we are getting an armature for president.I can’t wait to see what dangerous professionals like Putin ,for example, will do to this 2 bit novice. They will chew him up and spit him out and laugh their asses off.

Yea so dose McCain, no difference there.

[Secret Agent Man]

See - he can’t wait to become president and attack! Can’t we stop all these wars, Barack? Your war will NEVER end and cost trillions!!!!

The feces are really going to hit the wind turbine blades when liberals find out that Obama’s campaign is funded by Areva.

Obama pledges to attack global warming

Of course the sick scumbag does.

Obama is appealing to the dumbed down masses of the last 30 years. His “rhetoric” hits home with the ignorant who have been trained in “feelings”....NOT THINKING!

Agreed, tonight on Hannity good old Frank Luntz stood there with a room full of DC democrats and it was laughable how ignorant these folks were! They were asked to name one (1) accomplishment of Obama and one guy in front said, He’s the first black Senator to run for President! When Frank explained that being black was not an accomplishment the kid just sat there stunned. After the break the kid raised his hand when asked if he supported Hillary!!!! Outstanding.
Even our RINOS (both in the election and on FR) are smarter than that. November is going to be brutal.

Right....Maybe Obama can stop all the snow falling in the passes here in the Northwest for awhile....sheesh....

Gawd I despise these Gaia cultists - and there’s not one candidate willing to take a stand for American Sovereingty.

When Thompson stood up to that questioner in the debates, I became a Fredhead right there.

He can stop smoking for a start. And stop spewing so much greenhouse gas out of his puff hole with his meaningless drivel.

[pissant]

He is just that. A socialist, sick scumbag.

Well I pledge a chicken in every pot and a flying car in every garage & I’m going to put mandatory caps on volcanoes, turn off the Sun when I’m out of the room, provide health insurance to all Americans and their pets, improve America’s standing in the world by by giving everybody group hugs & don’t forget those flying cars!.

Vote for ME, my promises are way better, (and make just as much sense) as Obamalamadingdong’s.

"Now, it is 11F outside..... Save us, save us all from Global warming!"

According to global warming cultists, the earth will warm by one degree, so prepeare yourself for the disaster that awaits..... at 12 degrees.

Global Warming? Put some ice on that!

He'll use our atomic arsenal to blow up the sun?

“I also believe that the members of the GOP who wish to stop this need to start creating “poison pill” type clauses that could be inserted into any such legislation that would effectively kill or tie up enforcement in the courts.”

There is already a poison pill, it’s called the DATA QUALITY ACT.

As soon as federal government tries to regulate CO2 emissions the court battle will begin.

Upper troposphere is not warming faster than the surface as predicted by the CLIMATE PLAYSTATION MODELS.
