Former Vice President Al Gore praised President Obama’s energy policy
speech at Georgetown University on Tuesday as “the best address on
climate by any president ever.” Writing on his blog, Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Price for his climate change activism, called Obama’s speech “historic.” In his speech,
Obama said the White House would direct the Environmental Protection
Agency to draft new rules to limit the carbon pollution from both new
and existing power plants that should be in effect by 2015. The
president also said the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline should
only be approved if it didn’t increase greenhouse gas pollution.
Gore called Obama’s EPA directive the most important part of the White House plan. “This
action — if followed by skillful and thorough execution of the plan —
has the potential to fundamentally alter the course of our nation’s
energy infrastructure development and help to promote a sustainable
future,” he wrote. “On the international front, this action will bolster
U.S. credibility and moral authority in negotiations with other
countries.”...more
Al Gore is just a big ole waste of skin and most people know it. Nice to have around though when you're looking for ignorant comments. Take for instance:
"the best address on
climate by any president ever"
Better than George Washington? Washington never said anything about it, cuz he would never tell a lie.
Better than Abe Lincoln? Not a single word on climate. He was too busy rippin' the former Republic apart.
Better than Woodrow Wilson? Zero on climate. Guess he was too busy gettin' us in a war, segregatin' federal depts. and messin' around with Mary Hulbert.
Better than FDR? Nada on climate. He was too busy packin' the Supreme Court, gettin' us in a war and messin' around with Lucy Mercer.
Better than JFK? CQC - Camelot was Quiet on Climate. Guess he was too busy backin' down from Kruschev and messin' around with Mimi Alford, Judith Exner, Marilyn Monroe, Mary Meyer and...(no wonder he had a bad back).
Better than Clinton? Ole Party Boy did talk about it and even signed the 1997 Global Warming Accord. But let's be honest. Slick Willie was too busy Bombin' Kosovo, Boppin' Babes and Hidin' from Hillary to put much emphasis on climate.
All this leads me to two conclusions:
One, Al Gore could actually be right about this speech.
Two, we need to find Obama a girlfriend or two.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
