“ACORN is a community organization. Apparently what they’ve done is they were paying people to go out and register folks, and apparently some of the people who were out there didn’t really register people, they just filled out a bunch of names.”
– Barack Obama October 15, 2008
At the presidential debate fourteen years ago today, Barack Obama said this :
“Joe Biden, I think, is one of the finest public servants that has served in this country. It’s not just that he has some of the best foreign policy credentials of anybody. And Democrats and Republicans alike, I think, acknowledge his expertise there. But it’s also that his entire life he has never forgotten where he came from, coming from Scranton, fighting on behalf of working families, remembering what it’s like to see his father lose his job and go through a downward spiral economically. And, as a consequence, his consistent pattern throughout his career is to fight for the little guy. That’s what he’s done when it comes to economic policies that will help working families get a leg up.”

Obama/Biden promised to cut cut health insurance costs by $2,500 per year.
“So here’s what my plan does. If you have health insurance, then you don’t have to do anything. If you’ve got health insurance through your employer, you can keep your health insurance, keep your choice of doctor, keep your plan.
The only thing we’re going to try to do is lower costs so that those cost savings are passed onto you. And we estimate we can cut the average family’s premium by about $2,500 per year.”

Radical Change in Climatic Conditions In North Is Indicated by Disappearance of Glacier. and Formation of Moraines.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the waters too hot, according to a report to the commerce department today from Consul lift, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions, and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone, exploration expeditions reporting that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees, 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been re-placed by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have dis-appeared entirely. Very few seals, and no white fish are being found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which never before have ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.”
