If Obama says one thing, it is safe to assume that the opposite is true.

It is statistically almost impossible to be as incompetent as the climate modeling community. Dr Roy Spencer has documented their universal failure.

Yesterday, the Washington Post invoked classic Soviet style propaganda, claiming :

Most Americans back NSA tracking phone records, prioritize probes over privacy

But the actual poll said the opposite

Fully 45 percent of all Americans say the government should be able to go further than it is, saying that it should be able to monitor everyone’s online activity if doing so would prevent terrorist attacks. A slender majority, 52 percent, say no such broad-based monitoring should occur.

LOL – When Obama won the election with 52% of the (probably fraudulent) vote – that was a “landslide.” Now it is a slender majority.  Either way, the headline was fraudulent.

But it is worse than it seems. They ran an online poll and got 83% against Obama spying on them.

Rasmussen got 59% against

Apparently, the Washington Post has White House political operatives writing the news.

Today’s news is that it isn’t too late to save the planet :

San Jose Mercury News (CA) – June 30, 1989

GRIM FORECAST    A senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of “eco-refugees,” threatening political chaos, said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect…

One hundred degree days are much less common than they used to be in New York. During the 1930s they occurred about once every 400 days, and now they occur about once every 900 days.

U.S. Historical Climatology Network

New York’s hottest day (106F) occurred in 1936, and 18 of the 20 hottest days occurred with CO2 below 350 ppm CO2

The rate of sea level rise in Manhattan has been steady for 150 years, and is due primarily to subsidence. One foot of apparent sea level rise should occur in about the year 2085.

Plan B has been a political lightning rod. In 2011, after the FDA decided to approve over-the-counter sales with no age limits, US health and human services secretary Kathleen Sebelius had ordered it to reverse course, barring girls under 17 from buying the pills without a prescription.

Barack Obama supported that restriction, invoking his daughters. But the timing, 11 months ahead of the presidential election, sparked criticism that he was trying to placate social conservatives.

A U.S. Senate vote that took place two hours ago reveals how much three of our leading presidential candidates are committed to electronic privacy and the rule of law.

Barack Obama passes the test. John McCain failed. Hillary Clinton gets an incomplete.

The vote was on an amendment to deny AT&T and other telecommunications companies legal immunity if they are proven in court to have violated federal privacy law by opening their networks to the National Security Agency.

Obama voted for the amendment. That’s a vote for electronic privacy and for the rule of law. It means that AT&T and any other companies that may have violated the law would be held accountable for any illegal actions they committed. Conversely, if AT&T, et al, violated no laws, its lawyers have nothing to worry about.
