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.

According to Newsweek this will be the second coming. I would imagine when the heavens open up that will make things pretty toasty. Maybe toastier for some than others.

“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~

Pelosi: Obama can’t control the weather
“There are some decisions that are made from a different place and whether it rains or not is not in the president’s control.”

In Australia, we have proof a carbon (sic) tax & trade doesn’t work.
The Australian PM, JuLiar Galah’d, who introduced a carbon (sic) tax after pledging not to, in her “letter to Australians” on Jan 2013, says,” We’ll never again see a world without global warming.”
http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2013/01/the-prime-ministers-letter-to-australians-first-printed-in-news-ltd-publications.html#
Obviously an admittance that a tax on an atmospheric gas doesn’t work.
What is the carbon (sic) tax for?
PS. Google the ‘galah’ for further info. It’s not a word of endearment in Oz.
Of course El Presidente can control the temperature.
That’s what thermo-nuclear is all about. Istn’t it?
When I used to visit the US I used to love reading the World Weekly News. It’s a great American Institution – a bit like James Hansen. No comment about Obama though, he’s your business 🙂
Gosh I miss the Weekly World News. Admittely Time and Newsweek are just as reliable but no where near as creative.

HAHAHAHAHA! Thank you, Steve! That is hilarious! It’s going on my wall. 🙂
Don’t forget, the weather can be controlled by careful positioning of Al Gore.
They should call in Ex-Senator Tim Wirth who is infamous for creating the temperature conditions for events on Capitol Hill. He arranged conditions suitable for James Hansen’s appearance in 1988 by bringing hot air from outside.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hotpolitics/interviews/wirth.html
For the inauguration, he could open the windows again and let all the hot air from the politicians warm the proceedings.
“By BY SETH BORENSTEIN, Associated Press”
Prophetic?
Misspelled bye, BTW.
He’s heard of Tim Wirth’s trick and is planning to open the windows.

Gareth,
WWN ceased publishing years ago, but I just checked and it’s online now – some of the best of the U.S. at your fingertips – wherever! What a find. I’m thrilled.
When some DC related topics come up I sometimes shrug at the thought that someday BHO will be sipping umbrella drinks somewhere in between guffaws at how unbelievably stupid and gullible enough of the “counted” U.S. voters were to elect such an opportunistic fraud to the most powerful Government position on earth and love him for it.
Barnum’s “A sucker’s born every minute.” has been buried by “The greatest nation’s suckers render the U.S. oblivious to the debates.” Here’s hoping there’s a mess to clean up.
That being said WChannel says 43F and partly cloudy on Monday. All’s to be well in the nearly wealthiest district in the US.
“While his policies can lessen or worsen future projected global warming on a large scale, ”
###
I am pretty sure that “The One” designs his policies to maximize fear and uncertainty, so his policies will most likely encourage the scariest warming projections.

Oh no, please, please pray for memorable snows, and it doesn’t take much on Inauguration Day to be memorable. It will help dissuade Congress (and Obama’s Executive Order form) from spending our income on harebrained climate control schemes.
While I do love good snow storms, the video of Air Force 1 landing in snow bringing the President home a day early from the Copenhagen COP was well worth losing that blizzard to the mid-Atlantic. I think DC needs a few reminders this year.
Either Obama is in on the entire sordid affair, which makes him a con man wanting to run the US into the ground, or he was duped by the entire sordid affair, which makes him too stupid to run the US anywhere but into the ground.
…Obama’s bone-chilling first inaugural when the noontime temperature was an unseasonable chilly 28 degrees.
Unseasonable? in January? When should chilly weather occur?
This revelation will upset a lot of people.
Dang, Tim Ball beat me to the Tim Wirth joke by 15 minutes. I couldn’t read his because it was still in moderation. The best part of the joke is Obama thinking he could open windows and heat up the joint. You can in Chicago.

@ur momisugly Pamela Gray, thats true of all the activists and enablers, either corrupt or drooling nitwits.
Seth Bore-stein is shown up for his “unbiased” reporting skills in Climate-gate 1.
I wonder if he writes his own material or just takes dictation.
NWS forecasts a low of 30F and a high of 39, so it will be warmer, but not noticeably so.
Why not an executive order that all thermometers be adjusted up by 6 degrees – problem solved!

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 am an agnostic and I’m praying for a nice “Extreme” Blizzard. A nice Polar Express would be lovely right now.
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: Seth Borenstein is the worst.

Hardly
King Cnut tried to hold back the tide to show his fawning supporters that he wasn’t omnipotent, this hardly applies to B.O.
