Speaking at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday, President Barack Obama claimed that “the planet will boil over” if everyone has access to air conditioning, automobiles and big houses.

That is, unless the world finds “new ways of producing energy,” he said.

“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy,” Obama said.

Same goes for any continent except Antarctica: I mean, nuke the whole world: no people, no problem.

An idea of elegant simplicity first thought of by Margaret Sanger, I believe. Or her spiritual grandfather, Rev. Malthus.

This fits nicely with the idea of tens of millions of Africans being needlessly dead of malaria, so we in the first world can enjoy thicker condor eggs due to the DDT ban.

The third world has always accused the developed world of intentionally keeping them poor and deprived, they were wrong, until today.

What Africa needs is for every other country on the earth to leave and let them figure stuff out for themselves. Obama's plan of giving them billions of dollars (that we don't have) is insane. It's enabling Africa and Africans to not solve problems for themselves.

Hasn't Obama already done enough for Africa, "helping" Egypt and Libya?

The Earth has a fever ... and, obviously, Obama is a rectal thermometer.

He would easily trump Jimmy Carter as the worst prez ever, but carter was not trying to be so stupid. Everything many of us think is stupid is really who Obama really is. Everything he says has been well thought out.

His mistakes were not mistakes at all. He really means those things, and that was said more for us than his current audience. WE are the ones he was talking about and talking to!

And thank you to all the 3 million conservatives who did not vote in the last election. We got what you voted for.. and your lack of voting against Obama gave us.... obama!

Is it even possible for this asshat to be any more stupid? Maybe he can become king of Africa after his gig is done in d.c. The sooner the better.

This idiot wants to talk about science. He wouldn’t know a scientific fact if it bit him in his romancing rear end

Well, you have to remember that Obama speaks Progressive. In Progressive, the word "science" is defined as: Any statement uttered by a Progressive, regardless of whether or not it is consistent with observable reality.
