What if you put on a presidentially sponsored climate rally, and nobody showed up?

It appears that is exactly what happened today, from Obama’s “Organizing For Action” website (now disappeared) there was this announcement:

OFA_climate_rally_8-13-13

Reality is a bitch sometimes:

See http://freebeacon.com/ofa-gets-zero-attendance-for-climate-change-rally/

Timing is everything I suppose. Checking the forecast helps too.

OFA’s climate change ‘rally’ has zero environmental impact, zero attendees | Twitchy

To be fair, there were multiple rallies scheduled today, and some did attract tens of people.

Colin says: “The U.S. should be a leader in so many things. Instead they are bogged down.”
It isn’t ‘bogged down’ it is being subverted. Obama is only a simptom of a much greater problem.
Reagan explains how it is being done in this video:

The hip and cool are now in a panic over apocalyptic collapse.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes, Even Scientific American has an article on it now:
May 23 2012: Apocalypse Soon: Has Civilization Passed the Environmental Point of No Return? ~ Although there is an urban legend that the world will end this year based on a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar, some researchers think a 40-year-old computer program that predicts a collapse of socioeconomic order and massive drop in human population in this century may be on target
The IPCC was established in 1988. We have had 25 years, a whole generation submerged in CAGW and about half that time (16 years) there has been NO Warming.
Now that younger generation is questioning the old moldy theory looking at the fact they can’t get jobs, their parents/grand parents have lost their jobs or been forced to retire. Their nice cushy life style is going up in smoke as Mom and Dad become more and more worried about how to pay the bills and not about keeping junior in the latest have to have junk.
The Real Numbers: Half of America in Poverty — and It’s Creeping Upward
The Census Bureau has reported that one out of six Americans lives in poverty. A shocking figure. But it’s actually much, much worse.

Well, one of the few OFA progressive drones who did attend one of the “rallies,” did call for the arrest and trial of Republican members of Congress for treason.

So they got that going for them.

OFA needs to get its act together. When you really want to know how concerned people are about the climate, you need to book Bruce Springsteen.

I was never laughing at all this criminal scamming, ever. I’ve seen people referring to the ones doing it as “our friends” and “our esteemed adversaries” and I’ve seen people told s.t.f.u. and let the scammers keep talking, because “you’re not being a ‘nice’ citizen.”
The only people who say things like that about criminals are people making money off those criminals’ existence. There’s never been anything respectable or even remotely real about this from the beginning: and when you look around at the climate wars and see who’s still standing, remember: the people who said this was all a scam from the beginning, have been wiped off the political and social map by the collaborators who helped the scam stay afloat so they themselves could stay ‘relevant’ somehow.

“It’s real science, it’s just that you all don’t understand,” was the cry around the world from those who sold their souls in order to stay in the climate publicity game. There’s no such thing as “the amount of heating done by the refrigerant” in a phase change refrigeration system, and earth’s atmosphere is a frigid gas bath, of nitrogen and oxygen, phase change refrigerated, using water.
Not maybe or maybe thursday – that’s the way it is and that’s why nobody on earth but people in the climate publicity business claim they believe in that crap even remotely.
Literally from the beginning even your local air conditioner repair man would have been able to tell this is all fake, and thousands of people, hundreds of professionals, told everyone, from the beginning. It was about crime from the start. Energy markets manipulation by Al Gore, policy sway through terror by all those involved who claimed they believed it was possible to heat the atmosphere with it’s refrigerants; grants scamming – that’s how the whole thing got kicked off before Gore aired it out in his “lost the election make my money back” come back tour.

That video was sad and true. Oh so true……..

Hey Mac the Knife, I doubt seriously the total is that high. Anyways, Bush spent 1,020 days of his presidency on vacation. To put this into context, John F. Kennedy spent fewer days in office, 1000, than George W. Bush spent on vacation. Bush spent 487 days at Camp David, 490 days at his Crawford ranch, and 43 days in Kennebunkport. George W. Bush spent 69 days in Crawford during his first year in office. Seven trips to Africa that cost 6 times as much as O by he and his wife. He used Air Force One as a personal taxi and I bet SpaghettiO is still easily a billion short of what Bush blew. Dubya had some of his administration using AF1 for vacation just because of the criticism of his vacations. He was on vacation in California when Katrina was coming in, after being forewarned the levees would be topped.

Ed Mertin says:
It really doesn’t matter the president is in office now a days. They are all spending on average over 10 times more then the wealthiest person alive on their day to day life.
They spend more money on themselves then bill gates does on all his philanthropy projects combined.
No one is worth that much.
