With the incredible heat wave scorching the Red States, why in the world isn't Obama talking about

[Onlooker]

Global Warming?

[Oceansaway]

1. cuz no-one will listen ?...nt

[primavera]

3. Still worth making the effort

The entire planet kind of depends upon getting people to listen. I'd be hard pressed to think of a matter of greater importance.

[villager]

4. Ah, the mark of a great leader! Letting the fear of that stop you every single time!

[CakeGrrl]

26. So now you use each other's opinions as "fact" on which to base more bashing?

Crazytown. Let the groupthink roll.

[GeorgeGist]

27. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Obama Vapid Response Team never sleeps.

[Autumn]

2. Do you really wonder why? To the PTB Global Warming

does not matter.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Or Satan?

[Blue Meany]

6. Too bad there's no money for water projects to help those

poor state's out, but that we can't have infrastructure AND wars AND tax cuts, so the least essential of those things will have to go <sarcasm>. At least we know know that conservatives won't mind sacrificing benefits that would amount to socialism anyway.

[Dad Infinitum]

7. Cuz the Republicans would say mean things!

Global warming is breathing down our necks and our government keeps it's head in the sand.

9. He's learning the hard way. . .

that you can't teach GOP pigs how to sing. It's a waste of time and annoys the pigs.

Let the fuckin' GOP porkers bake and fry.

:evilfrown:

[Skittles]

10. corporations would not like that

[blkmusclmachine]

11. BP told him to can it on Climate Change, most likely.

[NorthCarolina]

12. Because you don't kick major corporate campaign donors in the teeth during the election cycle

(which coincidentally runs pretty much continuously between elections).

[Blue_Tires]

13. because it's just as disingenuous as the RWers screaming "Global Warming is BS"

EVERY goddamned time there is an extended cold snap in the winter...

Any time is a good time to discuss climate change and our environmental impact...But when both sides drag out the debate only when the nation is conveniently experiencing a weather extreme, then the issue gets cheapened at little, imo...And the subconscious message to the public is "There's nothing to worry about since the other 300 days a year are perfectly within historic norms"...

[donna123]

14. Does this mean God is punishing them?

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Because it's summer...

...the idea is just as silly as the deniers saying a cold snap is proof that GW doesn't exist.

[bigwillq]

16. Maybe he's still evolving on the subject?

:P

:rofl:

[Supersedeas]

17. Ugggh

[bigwillq]

18. is that your final answer?

:rofl:

[Pooka Fey]

19. Great question. n/t

[CreekDog]

20. He doesn't want to say anything that makes anyone on the right angry

seriously.

can you come up with a more plausible reason?

[yellowcanine]

21. For the same reason it is stupid of GW deniers to talk about it in winter

The heat wave is weather. It is not the same thing as climate.

[jberryhill]

22. Because GW is not a seasonal event

[golfguru]

23. Bingo...you got it right!

[Ter]

24. Because it's too late for mere human technology to do anything to stop it

n/t

[phleshdef]

25. Because one President can't be the champion for every single important cause?

Its not like he hasn't ever talked about global warming on countless occassions anyway. I even recall him using a State of the Union address to blast the deniers. But whether one agrees with his economic stances and compromises as of late, the fact is, he has been wrapped up in the immediate economic problems and there are good reasons for that.

[JoePhilly]

30. Wrong ... Obama passed that Stem Cell thing, so he can be in all places at all times!!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. Did you forget that there are 535 members of Congress? Let Al Gore talk about it.

Did you forget that there are 535 members of Congress? Does this president have to do everything? Does the rest of party get a free pass from the Blame Obama First crowd? :shrug:

[JoePhilly]

29. Dumbest post, ever.

But a GREAT example of how no matter what Obama is focused on at a particular moment, some part of the left with claim there is something ELSE that should be his main focus.

Nice job.
