Barack Obama -- The Honest Global Warming Chart Blog's first -- Climate Buffoon of the Year

There was an 
hour-long discussion,
with author Dave Eggers, 
at the Obama Foundation 
Summit in Chicago.

Former President Obama
launched a thinly-veiled attack 
on the current administration, 
and anyone who voted for Trump.

When global warming 
came up, 
after about 29 minutes, 
Obama’s criticism was 
a weird combination of
liberal platitudes, generic 
platitudes, and the claim
that governments can solve
all the world's problems.




SUMMARY:
Obama is certain 
we can solve all 
the world’s problems 
- “climate change, 
education, 
agriculture 
and so on” 
- quite easily, 
because they are 
“not nearly 
as complicated 
as they are
made out to be.”


The “reason we don’t do it,” 
Obama explained, 
“is because we are 
still confused, blind, 
shrouded with hate, 
anger, racism, 
mommy issues.”

"Racism" ?

"Mommy issues" ?

What is Obama smoking ?





DETAILS:
Without a Teleprompter 
to read a speech from,
which he does well,
if you ignore the content,
Obama is usually hesitant, 
and often sounds dumb.

This was as dumb 
as I've ever heard 
Obama sound, 
and the actual words, 
don't properly reflect
his many pauses, 
and stammering:


"... the reason we don't ...
[invest in climate change policies] 
is because we are still confused, 
blind, shrouded with hate, 
anger, racism - mommy issues ..."


“I mean, we 
— we are we are 
fraught with stuff,” 
he continued.

“And — and so if 
that’s the case then 
the single most 
important thing 
that we have to invest in 
is not all 
— and look 
I’m a huge supporter 
of science and 
technological research 
and social science and, 
you know, 
evidence-based learning 
and all that good stuff."

"I’m — I’m — people 
call me Spock 
for a reason,
I believe in reason 
and logic and all these 
enlightenment values, 
but the thing that really 
we have to invest in 
is people." 

"We got to get people
to figure out how
 they work together 
— in a — you know, 
how do we get people 
to work together 
in a cooperative, 
thoughtful, 
constructive way."

“I was having 
a conversation 
with a friend, 
who was depressed 
about the 
current course 
of our country — 
it’s a conversation 
that happens a lot,” 
Obama said later.

“I had to remind him 
that this is what happens." 

"Societies are these
incredibly complex, 
organic things 
that sometimes 
moves forward 
and sometimes 
takes a step back.”

“This is a heavy burden,” 
Obama said.

It's also 
a heavy burden 
listening to 
Obama blathering
for an hour !

But Obama 
certainly deserves
to be the first winner 
of this Honest Climate
Chart Blog's:
Climate Buffoon 
of the Year.

That award 
certainly makes more 
sense than giving Obama
the Nobel Peace Prize, 
and then watching him 
fight two wars, 
almost losing in Iraq,
for every single day of his 
eight long years in office !
