Obama Vows to Battle Global Climate Change in West Point Speech
Breitbart.com ^ | May 28, 2014 | Charlie Spiering

President Obama delivered a major policy speech Wednesday, claiming that fighting climate change was every bit as important to America’s national security as stopping terrorism or working to stop countries from obtaining nuclear weapons.

The world, Obama insisted, needed to come together to address this looming global threat.

“That spirit of cooperation must energize the global effort to combat climate change – a creeping national security crisis that will help shape your time in uniform, as we’re called on to respond to refugee flows, natural disasters, and conflicts over water and food,” Obama warned.

Obama detailed forthcoming policy from his administration that would save the planet from this crisis...

From the looks on their faces and the cool reception given obozo at West Point, perhaps the military will be with We the People after all. What I do wish is that when obozo shows up at military bases for a photo-op, that the soldiers keep a straight face, and let obozo sweat as he gives them his big, charming smile and tries to make jokes. Salute and acknowledge obozo, and nothing more...no clapping, smiling, shoutin’ out, or any sign of approval.

You assume a bridge too far. It’s horseshit that Gore peddled on his way to exponentially increasing his personal wealth.

I am a layman, not a psychologist or a psychiatrist, and to be frank, I think there is about an inch of information from both fields mixed in with several miles of bullshit.

But with that disclaimer, I do think Obama is a classic narcissist and a sociopath (they are pretty much twins in the end).

Predictively, based on what is to be gleaned from the literature, and what has been noted by others in the field, the kenyan may be heading for a personality split, wherein his ability to act like he gives a care for anyone but himself will be obliterated by narcissistic rage when he finally realizes that no one believes in him, that most people understand him to be shallow and opportunistic and a serial, pathological liar.

I do not remember the name of the female staffer who went on radio and described how shocked she was to realize that Obama does not like people, does not call congress on the phone, does not enjoy being in the company of anything but a mirror.

Well, FU Obama, when the torches and pitchforks come down PA Ave, best get your ass on Air Force One to Nairobi.

My favorite part of what I heard of the speech was where he says that he believes in American exceptionalism, and the way to demonstrate it is to not be an exception.

That’s how absurd all of this is - what they are actually pushing on people is change of seasons. What does “Climate change” really mean? It means change of seasons! Just like in the Al Gore fiction-mentary “An inconvenient lie” when he showed the Italian mountains in the winter then showed them in the summer with the snow melted and he blamed it on “global warming” when in fact it was the change of seasons that did it. This scam is so blatant it’s the very definition of insanity. They are literally telling people the rotation of the earth is man-made and we need to change that rotation.

The excerpts I've seen are appalling.

Most disgusting was his obscene message to these young soldiers that they would be expected to fight and die for the "peace and prosperity" -- of foreign nations.

I would bet that a lot of the cadets just zoned out during the speech. I had the opportunity to attend the USNA graduation ceremony back in the ‘90s. Al Gore was the speaker. I asked my brother who was graduating if anyone was paying attention to Gore. By the way, same climate change bs speech. He told me that very few even acknowledged that Gore was there.

I feel sorry for the parents in attendance. Their son or daughter made it through 4 years of the Academy, and they get subjected to an Obama opera. Me Me Me Me.

It is amazingly how badly and obviously Mr and Mrs President are trying to deflect from the scandals and economy to anything else.

Totally agree with you. It is my fervent wish that in the end obozo and his ilk are tried, serve time, are fried or swing from a rope. And when he eventually gets out of prison and needs transportation, tell him to take a Greyhound bus.

The Boehner-funded, Commander in Chief Obama’s latest Grand Bargain is assign the US Military to mercilessly attack the Settled Science of the Climate Change Weapon of Mass destruction.

This Grand Bargain Announcement by Commander in Chief Obama was greeted by the 2014 Graduation Class at West Point with a 25 % standing ovation.

IOW, a future 75 % reduction in force of the newly commissioned Army officers from West Point.

Over the years, Doormat Republican Speaker Boehner has been able to fund all of the Democrats’ Commander in Chief Obama’s Military decisions.

Speaker Boehner has thus been essential to helping Obama to lead from the bottom of a Socialist, Group Hug, Hell Hole.

Speaker Boehner should indeed be in line for a promotion by Arrogant Commander in Chief Obama.

Over the years, Boehner has doubled the taxpayer dollars sent to the failed Veterans Administration.

The rumor that a grateful, but still Arrogant, Obama is considering promoting Boehner to be in charge of the Veterans Administration has yet to be confirmed.

That development will result in very large increases in the amount of human-generated carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that will dwarf any reductions even remotely possible in the United States and Europe.

Exactly. Plus, forests and trees are being chopped down at an alarming rate, so what will happen to oxygen production?

The U.S. has unlimited amounts of coal

The communists/democrats and Obama are destroying the coal industry for a hoax called global warming. this proves government is unaccountable, and a cancer that must be abolished

global warming is a hoax democrats created to justify the existence and growth of government(socialism)

There is nothing wrong with using coal. CO2 emissions cause nothing

we should be using this coal to lower energy costs for consumers and businesses .

Makes sense. A make believe “national security threat,” embraced by a make believe president.

GOing from the “war against terrorism” to being a soldier “in the war on poverty” and now a soldier “in the war on climate change”.

I hope that the 25 % of the cadets who stood and cheered Obama never get a command position in our Army. I wouldn’t trust them to know who the real enemy was.

As for the other 75% who remained seated, good luck with your career under our marxist president who doesn’t give a royal shit about your safety or missions.

* Rules of engagement promulgated which aided the Taliban
* No protection for our Embassy in Libya
* No challenging Red China on the high seas
* Promoting the Law of the Seas (UN crap) that would undermine US law and security
* Allowing U.S. citizens to be seized around the world and doing nothing to get them freed
* Fighting Boko Harem terrorists with hashtags instead of weapons
* Opening our borders instead of securing them
* Allowing Black Panther voter intimidation instead of putting their criminal asses in jail
* Arming Mexican drug cartels to kill other Mexicans and Americans
* Purging our combat veteran military commanders so that we are left with second tier personnel
* Releasing pirates when captured
* Sinking our Navy to the point that a kid in a bathtub has more floatable ships than the country does
* Building too expensive and fancy fighter planes instead of building larger air fleets with the good ones we already have, and at less cost
* Fucking over the veterans who depend upon the VA for help
* Ignoring D-Day while using Memorial Day and Veterans Day for photo-ops. Same for the Medal of Honor awards ceremonies. For Obama shows only.
* Failing to declare who our enemies are, be they communists, fascists, Putininists, Jihadists, the Moslem Brotherhood, or Friends of Hillary.
Appointing incompetent diplomats whose only claim to fame was as Obama financial bundlers (now bunglers).
* Betraying our allies in Colombia, Israel, Philippines, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

You can’t fight under a commander who is an anti-Amercian Marxist, a racist, anti-military and dumb as dog shit.

battle climate change

Americans, FIGHT BACK. Global warming dos not justify "battling climate change" by government or anyone else. I keep posting this but I think it needs repeating...

There's NO VALID ARGUMENT FOR GOVERNMENT TO "BATTLE CLIMATE CHANGE."

The claim that there is such a thing as “global warming” is not necessarily invalid. The flawed argument is, “We have a global warming problem and, therefore, government must do whatever it has to do [more interference with individuals’ freedoms] to stop it.” It’s a flawed argument because it contains an unproven and flawed “stealth” presumption that man must be the cause of global warming.

The argument about scientific data and evidence of whether or not "global warming" exists can go on from now 'till Moses. (The Bible does indicate a warm-up and a rising sea in the last days.) It is really beside the point. The more the Right argues this wrong point, the sillier the Right potentially looks and the stronger this oft-unspoken presumption of man-made causes seems to get.

Instead, the Right needs to steer the debate to where the real point is: THE CAUSE. As there may be some debate about whether there’s global warming, there’s no real true, scientific debate that “man is causing global warming”. Arguments need to be advanced to first get this somewhat stealth presumption "out" into the open and then to defeat this Leftist excuse for more government tyranny over our lives. It should be fairly easy to win the debate over this really silly presumed notion.
