Obama meets with Gore, leader of the Church of Global Warming
After a thorough examination of the scientific evidence and careful consideration of public comments, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that greenhouse gases (GHGs) threaten the public health and welfare of the American people. EPA also finds that GHG emissions from on-road vehicles contribute to that threat.
“These long-overdue findings cement 2009’s place in history as the year when the United States Government began addressing the challenge of greenhouse-gas pollution and seizing the opportunity of clean-energy reform,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “Business leaders, security experts, government officials, concerned citizens and the United States Supreme Court have called for enduring, pragmatic solutions to reduce the greenhouse gas pollution that is causing climate change. This continues our work towards clean energy reform that will cut GHGs and reduce the dependence on foreign oil that threatens our national security and our economy.”
Scientific consensus shows that as a result of human activities, GHG concentrations in the atmosphere are at record high levels and data shows that the Earth has been warming over the past 100 years, with the steepest increase in warming in recent decades. The evidence of human-induced climate change goes beyond observed increases in average surface temperatures; it includes melting ice in the Arctic, melting glaciers around the world, increasing ocean temperatures, rising sea levels, acidification of the oceans due to excess carbon dioxide, changing precipitation patterns, and changing patterns of ecosystems and wildlife.
President Obama and Administrator Jackson have publicly stated that they support a legislative solution to the problem of climate change and Congress’ efforts to pass comprehensive climate legislation.

Evidence that much of the GW data is bogus doesn’t stop Obama and the liberals.
Growing number of skeptical scientists doesn’t stop Obama and the liberals.
Only you calling Congress and the White House can stop socialist changes like cap and trade.
Appeasing our enemies vs. Protecting on national security
On a tranquil Sunday morning, as war raged around the globe, the attack on Pearl Harbor effectively ended American isolation -- thrusting our Nation into action. Japanese airplanes had launched an unprovoked assault on our military with immense firepower, and our service members valiantly answered the call. They defended their positions, fought back against the attackers, and cared for the wounded. In that darkest hour, men and women who had considered themselves ordinary found within themselves the ability to do something extraordinary. And in the months and years that followed, Americans all across the country would respond to Pearl Harbor with firm resolve, many joining our Armed Forces to defend our shores and our freedom.
This courage is not uncommon in the story of America -- a story of heroes whose sacrifice and valor speak to their love of comrades and country; and whose goodness guides our quest for lasting peace. Today, and every day, we draw strength from the moment when the best among us defended an island and a Nation from the onslaught of tyranny, and forever altered the course of our history.

On December 7, 1941, the enemy nearly destroyed our Pacific Fleet, and the United States was forced into a long and terrible war. A generation of Americans stepped forward to fight for our country. Their message to America's enemies was clear: If you attack this country and harm our people, there is no corner of the Earth remote enough to protect you from the reach of our Nation's Armed Forces.
Following the war the United States worked to make our most bitter enemies into our closest friends through the transformative power of freedom. The joys of liberty are often secured by the sacrifices of those who serve a cause greater than self. To honor and recognize the sacrifice of our Armed Forces, I have designated nine sites as the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. This monument will preserve our history and help share this heritage with future generations. On this anniversary, we honor the heroes who risked and lost their lives for our security and freedom. Their selfless dedication exemplifies the great character of America and continues to inspire our Nation.

While Obama may not be appeasing our enemies, he sure as heck is making sure he doesn’t offend them.
And President Bush spoke from his heart: You attack us and we will come after you until you are defeated.
I am not surprised by the US media but found this Al Jazeera story interesting.
You'd have been hard pressed to find much coverage of the Obama troop announcement on Wednesday's American breakfast TV.
I know this because our North America editors had asked me to watch the US breakfast shows, in case there was a story in it for our audience around the world.
To be honest I thought it was probably going to be a waste of time, but I was wrong.
As I sat there in my PJs with Al Jazeera English's wall-to-wall coverage from the night before still in my mind, my mouth fell open with amazement as a top rated TV early show failed to manage even a single mention in the opening sequence at the top of the eight o'clock hour.
That's pretty amazing when you think that exactly 12 hours before President Obama had committed another 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan, becoming, as the left-wing film maker Michael Moore put it in an open letter to the White House, "A WAR PRESIDENT"!
Anyway, here's the menu from that show which comes live partly from a studio and partly from the street outside were its presenters are surrounded by fans who tend to wear too many warm clothes on a hot day or are missing quite a few front teeth.
Many wave banners saying things like: "Happy Birthday Brenda from Tishomingo, 96 today!"
The opening shot was a slow zoom from atop a New York skyscraper down on to the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza. It's a big deal if you're on holiday in New York or you live there but it does happen every year folks.
Then - and this was the best bit - they showed three men inside giant cartoon character costumes who looked like they were from Toy Barn, not Taliban.
It's odd because these TV breakfast shows have BIG budgets and are made by the HUGE news departments of the big US broadcasters but sometimes they have hardly any news in them.

It is strange to think Al Jazeera is a more unbiased news source than US Media.
His "White House to Main Street" photo-op tour will not fix his inept handling of the economy.
Under pressure from Republicans and an impatient public to fix the sputtering economic recovery, President Barack Obama is refocusing on this politically potent issue by talking job creation with business and labor leaders at the White House.
The White House has lacked a unified economic message in recent weeks, with its attention focused instead on health care and Obama's three-month review of the Afghanistan war. With unemployment in double digits for the first time in decades, Democratic lawmakers are suggesting a second economic stimulus aimed directly at job creation may be needed.
Administration officials are hoping Thursday's jobs forum, an Obama trip to Pennsylvania on Friday and a major economic speech on Tuesday will help counter Republican critics who contend the administration's economic recovery efforts have failed and its oversight of the $787 billion stimulus package has been inadequate.
At the jobs forum, Obama planned to defend his administration's handling of the economy and argue that it would be in far worse shape had Congress not passed the huge stimulus bill earlier this year. Under intense GOP attacks, public support for the stimulus effort has faded.

How can Obama and the Socialist Congress of America create jobs?
Stop spending OUR money on stupid things like the global warming scam.
Don’t seize control of the private sector like the auto and financial industries.
Let us (including the “rich” ) keep more of OUR money so we can use it to create the new jobs.
”Plants have feelings. Be a Carnivore.” Says People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants (PETP).
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been classified as a “terrorist threat” in a document created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA created a new “APHIS Facility Security Profile” form [see PDF] to send to animal experimentation facilities. Recipients were asked to answer about their experiences, and return the form to the government so the USDA can better meet their needs.
PETA is perhaps the most recognized organization in the animal rights movement. They are known for their undercover investigations, and their use of celebrities and outlandish media stunts to draw attention to factory farming, fur, circuses and animal experimentation.
Regardless of how you feel about PETA and their tactics, they are a lawful, above-ground, national non-profit.
So why in another section of the USDA form, are they listed as a possible answer under “Greatest Threat or Danger. What do you consider the greatest source of danger to your organization and/or fellow workers?”
Because they expose what goes on behind closed doors.

If you go to the USDA web site and do a search on PETA, you will find some guy thinks the Arab terrorists are no big deal. It is PETA the terrorists you have to worry about.
Note the USDA pdf has been removed but the Google html copy was still available. Do search on “APHIS Facility Security Profile”.
But she will talk to them about Christianity.
A government caseworker outlined a plan calling for Rifqa Bary, 17, and her parents to listen to each other's views on religion.
Bary needs to hear out her parents' explanation of their beliefs when she goes home, according to the proposal filed in Franklin County Juvenile Court. In turn, her parents must listen to Bary explain her newfound Christianity.
The goal is for both sides to better understand why the teenager ran away to Florida over the summer and stayed with a Christian family she met online.
Bary has said she feared her father would harm or kill her for converting from Islam. Her father has denied the claim. A Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation found no credible threats to the girl.
The plan leaves open the possibility that the girl may never return home.
Bary was sent back to Ohio last month, where she is in the care of the county children's services agency. Her phone and Internet usage is being closely monitored to comply with a judge's ruling.

Will there be a bodyguard for Rifqa Bary during the meeting?
A female caseworker can’t protect Bary if her father attacks her. He could beat herr to death or throw acid on her.
but a deadline is a big error.
President Barack Obama invoked the September 11 attacks Tuesday in calling for the nation to unite behind his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Obama announced he would send an additional 30,000 troops to the war-torn country on an expedited schedule so that the reinforcements would arrive by mid-2010.
But he also promised to begin withdrawing troops by July 2011 in a speech delivered from West Point in front of an audience of cadets, some headed for Afghanistan.
“I do not make this decision lightly,” Obama said of the troop surge. “I opposed the war in Iraq precisely because I believe that we must exercise restraint in the use of military force, and always consider the long-term consequences of our actions.”
Obama warned that the ongoing effort to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat” al-Qaeda will be an “enduring test of our free society and our leadership in the world.”

Michael Moore, Code Pink and Moveon.org are anti-american and don’t care about our national security. President Obama clearly cares about our national security. He has followed many of Bush’s policies. Sometimes Obama has exceeded Bush.
Then he goes out of his way to appease Islamic extremists and his base like the rotund Moore and set a deadline for removing troops from Afghanistan.
