The Center for American Progress reports:

Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.

In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"

Here's a video of the event.

    When someone says "it's day time" and you poke your eyes out and say "no, it's not", you're gonna get called a denier. it's that simple.

    Unfortunately, there have been so many of those that even asking reasonable questions gets you lumped into their camp, Part of that of course is that the deniers generally wear a veneer of vague reasonability kinda like some spammers try to choose subject lines that seem like an email you might actually want to read. But look deeper and you'll find yet another "It snowed on the coldest day of winter so there is no global warming anywhere ever" or even lunatic fringe stuff about Kenyan conspiracies and such.

    You MAY just be that unfortunate guy who sent an email with a subject line matching one of the spam runs.
