Gosh, who knew?

In September, campaigning in Colorado, Obama was talking to a potential voter who mentioned he had been one of the hundreds of thousands of people outdoors at Obama’s bone-chilling first inaugural when the noontime temperature was an unseasonable chilly 28 degrees. Obama promised: “This one is going to be warmer.”
Scientifically, the president doesn’t have control of day-to-day weather. While his policies can lessen or worsen future projected global warming on a large scale, they cannot do anything about Washington’s daily temperature on Jan. 21.

Words just completely fail me here. All I can do is laugh, and wonder if new newspaper gig is in Seth’s future, I hear there’s an opening.

He’ll bypass congress with an executive order. That should do the trick.
Small fry for someone who can stop the rise of the oceans and heal the planet….
You haven’t heard “Obama flaps his lips and it rains in China”?
When you have the ear of Hansen, there is no need to control day-to-day weather.
Quality newspapers you seem to have in th US, thank heaven for the internet.
“While his policies can lessen or worsen future projected global warming on a large scale”
I like the use of the word “projected” in there. One has to question: how exactly?
Even the IPCC and Hansen seem to be lessening future “projected” global warming. This kinda makes one think that when a scientific prediction fails to materialize, it’s time to chuck your hypothesis.
He is a joke and the right people aren’t laughing.
Excellent, Dirk!
The President, by Executive Order, can and should adjust the temperature readings (by adding values for the multivariate el Nin ̃o index, aerosol optical thickness data and total solar irradiance); and if that’s not sufficient, he can always change the past!

It depends upon whether you want it to rain or not.
Not to worry, Dr. James Hansen will simply adjust the GISS record, and by the end of the month what President Obama said will be historically correct.
If it’s cold he can just tell his thralls that it’s warm and they will unquestioningly believe him.
“Question Authority” only applies to non-leftists; they happily swallow the BS of obama and the warmunists.
WAR IS PEACE – FREEDOM IS SLAVERY – IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH – COLD IS WARM
Yeah, he would, but the evil Bushitler and Darth Cheney hid the keys to the weather machine they used to make Katrina hit Nawlins with! Gotta be Bush’s fault, everything else seems to be.
Moral question: Is it sinful of me to pray for snow? Just for the sake of all the children who might never see another snowfall of course.
I saw this on Drudge today. It made me smile. So the ethereal moving light Obama commands not the natural forces? Be he not a creature in the Godly Realm but that of human flesh. Oh woe is me. I have looked upon the image of God and alas, I saw merely an unworn suit.
“Let it be known that this was the day the oceans stopped rising and the planet began to heal.” Maybe statements like these build up unrealistic expectations among the faithful. ~shrug~
It wasn’t 28 degrees last time. The weather last time was perfectly fine. I am able to control the weather. This year will be completely awesome. These are not the droids you’re looking for.

=================================================
Well, farmers pray for rain when needed and sunshine…. I think snow would be okay, too. Especially seeing that it’s for the children!
Borenstein is a professional regurgitator.
There’s not an ounce of independent thought or judgment anywhere in sight.
I’ve been wondering if Obama is going to stick around for a billion years to prevent the earth from being consumed by the sun when it becomes a red giant.
I still contain control of the day to day weather. obama and his cronies still haven’t been able to locate me. All I can say is if osama bin laden had my travel agent, he would still be alive. Must go now; the Belize authorities are closing in.
Obama can always prove his messianic powers by sitting on his throne near the low tide line at the Bay of Fundy and command the incoming tide to reverse and flow outward.
He emerged from the bowels of the Chicago political machine, the most corrupt city, in the most corrupt state, in our union.
Never vetted, never tested, worst of all, never questioned.
The fourth estate lives in fear of being shunned his attentions.

Congratulations, you have won the mystery prise. You spotted weasel word.
Pres. Obama can do sweet F.A. about future global warming but he probably can “on a large scale” affect _projected_ warming, ie. he can affect the _projections_ .
By failing to use his influence with the state attorney, in his home state of Illinois, to ensure that self-confessed criminal Peter Gliek does not get exempted from prosecution. By allowing his employee Hansen to continue using his role as a NASA scientist to give undue credibility to his activist ventures and to allow him to continue making considerable sums from outside activities, contrary to regulations for government employees.
Yes, he probably can lessen or worsen future global warming projections to a large degree.
So far the evidence is that he intends to use his office to worsen them.
I am at a loss for words. Now mind you, I have a lot of sneering, even evil thoughts, but I shall remain wordless.
