In fact, he’s so transparent on this issue, he’s see-through. President Obama cares so much about climate change (when he’s not wasting 9,000 gallons of jet fuel traveling to Earth Day events) that he had his lackeys write about it on the official White House blog:
“On March 9th, I signed an executive memorandum with a clear message: Under my administration, the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over. Our progress as a nation – and our values as a nation – are rooted in free and open inquiry. To undermine scientific integrity is to undermine our democracy. It is contrary to our way of life.”
“That’s why I have charged John Holdren in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy with leading a new effort to ensure that federal policies are based on the best and most unbiased scientific information. I want to be sure that facts are driving scientific decisions – and not the other way around.”
Monique Stuart, one of our favorite bloggers, made short work of the president in a recent post on this very subject:
“The days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over?” Since when? Is science not taking a back seat to ideology when it comes to “climate change?” The last time I checked, there was plenty of science out there that doesn’t support the claims being made about climate change. There is plenty of science to suggest that the globe is not warming and, even if it is, it is not a man-made problem. Yet, this science takes a back seat to your ideology.”
“Anyone who doesn’t agree with your agenda is “politicizing” the issue, putting ideology before science, or presenting the public with a “false choice.” You are the false choice, Mr. President, and I can’t wait for the majority of Americans to see that.”
Monique is right but we think Obama and his cohorts are just capitalizing on their favorite subject. God knows Al Gore is making a ton of money as a global warming alarmist.
Hey, at least it’s Capitalism.
