Approaching a Global Warming Agenda Stop Sign, Obama Decides to Floor It
Written By: Timothy H. Lee
Any toddler who touches a hot stovetop quickly internalizes the necessary lesson and becomes unlikely to repeat the mistake anytime soon.
Apparently, Barack Obama isn’t quite that bright.
Just one week ago, Obama received a proverbial stovetop scalding in the form of Republican Scott Brown’s upset Senate victory in deep-blue Massachusetts. The message was unequivocal, with even that state’s liberal-leaning electorate rejecting Obama’s agenda.
As vividly and objectively demonstrated by exit polls conducted by the independent polling firm Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates, the leading motivation in Massachusetts voters’ decisions was “vote in opposition of Obama’s policies and direction he’s taking the country.” Very simply, Massachusetts voters sent a strong message in opposition to Obama’s policies. And if that was true of Massachusetts voters, it’s merely a preview of the volcanic rebuke that may await him this November.
Presented with this bright red stop sign, then, how did Obama react just one week later in his State of the Union speech?
Instead of slowing to a more reasonable speed, he’s flooring the accelerator.
Perhaps the best illustration of this bizarre and self-destructive reaction was Obama’s vow to move full-speed ahead on his discredited global warming agenda.

Scientist at the heart of the ‘Climategate’ email scandal broke the law when they refused to give raw data to the public, the privacy watchdog has ruled.
The Information Commissioner’s office said University of East Anglia researchers breached the Freedom of Information Act when handling requests from climate change sceptics.
But the scientists will escape prosecution because the offences took place more than six months ago.
The revelation comes after a string of embarrassing blunders and gaffes for climate scientists and will fuel concerns that key researchers are too secretive and too arrogant.
Bin Laden blasts US for climate change
Written By: SALAH NASRAWI
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.
He blamed Western industrialized nations for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for “drastic solutions” to global warming, and “not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change.”
Bin Laden has mentioned climate change and global warning in past messages, but the latest tape was his first dedicated to the topic. The speech, which included almost no religious rhetoric, could be an attempt by the terror leader to give his message an appeal beyond Islamic militants.
The al-Qaida leader also targeted the U.S. economy in the recording, calling for a boycott of American products and an end to the dollar’s domination as a world currency.
“We should stop dealings with the dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible,” he said. “I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America.”
