Obama Uses Correspondents' Dinner to Finally Blast Climate Deniers

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.

    Well.. I was trying to be careful but inserting that "people like..." part of the comment. I would never presume to tell any specific person how they should plan and live their life! It's yours not mine and kids may very well not be the right thing for you.

    I was just observing that you made a rather intelligent decision based on facts rather then emotion. That's one good decision more than many people out there with large families! If it's not all genetic but it can be passed down through teaching then...

    As for bringing a kid into a doomed world.. well.. again, not trying to talk YOU specifically into anything... adopting doesn't bring anyone into the world who wasn't already in it.

    Thanks for the compliment! It's worked out OK so far...
