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.

  The science is NOT corrupted on both sides

  yes it is

  ON the one side you have climate scientists all saying one thing

  no they're not

  Then you have polluting industries trotting out their shit-puppets in white lab coats to say anything they can to muddy the waters, because polluting less would cause them to make less money

  they're not the only ones

  It really is that simple.

  unfortunately the reality is a lot more complex than that

  The only country in the world that has this level of doubt about man-made climate change is the US. It isn't an issue anywhere else in the world

  i'm not from the united states, and it is an issue everywhere

  the Republicans have tied being a conservative to beign a climate change denier, so to be one you also have to be the other.

  at least you make your political bias clear. thankyou for not pretending to be objective

  Do you have any facts, or grammar, or shift keys for that matter?
