What an appropriate slogan. Especially today. There was Obama, preaching the “sham” of climate change to the choir at the UN. It was another whinny doomsday speech. Of course, it contained the usual America bashing [d]Ear Leader loves to indulge in. But the tone was scary in that it almost sounded as if Obama was sorry that The Industrial Revolution ever arrived in the United States!
Does this man really know what he is even talking about? Who are his speech writers, for G-d sakes?

Let’s see…We can thank The Industrial Revolution for a few things: the sewing machine, the textile and steel industries, the telephone, the steel plow and reaper, refrigeration, the phonograph, the automobile and airplanes, etc., etc., etc. All these things, and others, not only have touched and improved the lives of people the world over, they’ve also made life more pleasant. And, I might add, without The Industrial Revolution, Obama’s recent media blitz as well as his constant campaigning would not be possible. What an ingrate.

Even though he somehow manages to stop all CO2 emissions, it’s still a naturally occuring gas which dissolves in the oceans. Besides, the fizz in his cool bottle of Perier [carbonation and refrigeration], even the humble fire extinguisher are impossible without CO2. What about dry cleaning? Heck, he probably gets his cu$tom-made $uits cleaned in liquid CO2 which doesn’t produce chlorinated pollutants and thus, is environmentally friendly. Not a bad development since the cleaning solvent perchloroethylene, has been linked to certain cancers.

It’s scary to see that Obama would prefer to stop American prosperity. Instead of encouraging the poorer nations of the world build up their infrastructure so that their citizens can live in some dignity [i.e. potable water and sanitation for starters], he wants to bring America down to the lowest-common denominator. I guess he’d like it better if we’d all have horses to get around in and shovel horse manure from the street.

P.S. I wonder if now that it looks like Obama will need a breather, he will have/make time to read General McChrystal’s report on Afghanistan.
