With all going on, we have a climate change conference

So let’s see now. Russia and Turkey are on the verge of all out war. And since Turkey is covered under NATO, all of the Western World is now at odds with Russia. ISIS is killing and beheading all over Africa and others are killing and bombing in Paris. Their threat is real and being dealt with all over Europe. Tens of thousands of refugees are traveling around Europe trying to find someone who will take them in. Tens of thousands of illegal trespassers are daily trying to enter our country with very little opposition. Black people in this country are on the march because of perceived mistreatment of a few thugs. And in the face of all this, President Obama thinks the best thing for him to do is attend a “Global Climate Change” convention in Paris.

That’ll show them. ISIS can’t scare us. Mess with us and we will back over you in our Prius or we will hit you over the head with a solar panel. ISIS is far more likely to suffer a hernia from uncontrolled laughter at the thought of this response than to be concerned about global climate change. They are evil people who are barely human and who worship death. They could care less about the climate of the globe.  To top this all off, Obama wants the Congress to approve a $2 billion, with a “B,” fund to give to third-world countries in an effort to get them interested in this “Mickey Mouse” science. Sometimes I just have to scratch my head in disbelief.

The word from the White House is the global climate thing is important to Obama and to his legacy. Once again I should remind you and them, his legacy is already established. He has been the absolute worst president in the history of our country. Now he’s offering even more proof he’s also tone deaf. Now that’s a legacy.

The Republican Senate with their majority has already said they will not approve the $2 billion request so the whole deal is dead on arrival in the Congress. So, what’s the point? Does Obama really want to show just how out of touch he is with the rest of the country? Is this the public image Democrats want as they try to win election in the next cycle? Somebody on their side needs to get into a private discussion with their champion and let him know just what the country thinks about his ridiculous actions. After the so-called nuclear deal with Iran, it should be clear to even the densest Democrat this is not what the country wants.

But hey, it isn’t my place to tell the Democrats what they should do. They seem hell-bent on destroying themselves. I’ll just be a semi-interested bystander.

It really doesn’t matter what Obama wants at this point. He is a lame duck president who is poisoning his party’s chances of winning any future election. One would think reasonable concerned Democrats would step up and ask for some moderation of the idiocy that keeps coming from this administration. As for me, I’ll just let the voters decide.

I am a retired businessman and I was a resident of Sartell for six years before moving to St. Simons Island, Ga to be closer to my grandchildren. I have offered opinion columns in the Newsleaders for the last five or six years. Those columns generally deal with political issues. For additional commentary I post a weekly column at ronscarbro.blogspot.com.
