IPCC Third Assessment Report – Climate Change 2001

The last time Washington attorney Eric Holder participated in a high-profile vetting, it was for fugitive financier Marc Rich.

The episode in 2001 became the final scandal of the Clinton administration and landed Holder, at the time the No. 2 official at the Justice Department, in the middle of a congressional investigation.

Now Holder, a co-chairman of Barack Obama’s campaign, is one of three big names who will lead the search for a potential running mate for the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.

The others are Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, and longtime Washington insider Jim Johnson.

In the Clinton pardon scandal, Holder was deputy attorney general when his duties intersected with the efforts of Rich’s lawyer, Jack Quinn, who had been White House counsel earlier in the Clinton administration.

The entire matter was handled in an unorthodox manner – on a straight line from Rich’s lawyer to the White House, with a consulting role for Holder.

To make matters worse, Holder had asked Quinn for his help in becoming attorney general in the event then-Vice President Al Gore won the 2000 election.

Rich did not even qualify for a pardon under Justice Department guidelines, which say no pardons can be requested until five years after completion of a sentence in a criminal case.

Prosecutors on the Rich case testified that no one consulted with them before a recommendation went to the president on the Rich pardon.

Rich has been based in Switzerland since 1983, just before he was indicted in the United States, accused of tax evasion on more than $100 million in income, fraud and participating in illegal oil deals with Iran.

Thank you CNN, MSNBC, and most of the other news networks – for shirking your obligations, corrupting the election process, and making sure that we have four more years of a dangerous incompetent nutcase in the White House.

An extra special thanks to Candy Crowley for racketeering and election tampering.

2007 Alaska Whaler’s Disappearing Ice

Branson Tungiyan is the general manager for the village of Gambell. He calls the Bering Sea his garden, but Tungiyan describes how changing weather is affecting the ice and the ocean. “The weather has been crazy these last 10 years. Unexpected warming in the middle of wintertime, cooler temperatures in the springtime where it should be warm. The ice is getting thinner. Now we’re seeing it come in what they call ice in January and one time February. So we believe what the scientists are saying that the ice is melting,” Tungiyan says.

“With only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices”

– Barack Obama  2010

Like every other time Obama opens his mouth, he is lying about US oil reserves.

… the figure Obama uses—proved oil reserves—vastly undercounts how much oil the U.S. actually contains. In fact, far from being oil-poor, the country is awash in vast quantities—enough to meet all the country’s oil needs for hundreds of years.

Why is Obama Lying About US Oil Reserves?
