Writing in the LA Times, author and human rights activist Ariel Dorfman took the American electorate to task for electing “a reckless con man as president,” adding the country is now facing a reckoning.
mojo,
Are you still persisting to believe that fake news about Trump changing his position on climate change that you kept questioning me for a response to?
That could never happen because Trump does what's best for America.......and makes decisions regarding our energy politicies that are rational/practical and doesn't buy into the blatantly fraudulent Climate Accord.
"The Trump administration will reverse course from previous Obama administration policy, eliminating climate change from a list of national security threats. The National Security Strategy to be released on Monday will emphasize the importance of balancing energy security with economic development and environmental protection, according to a source who has seen the document and shared excerpts of a late draft.
“Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system,” a draft of the National Security Strategy slated to be released on Monday said. “U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an anti-growth, energy agenda that is detrimental to U.S. economic and energy security interests. Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people out of poverty.”
…
President Obama made climate change, and the burdensome regulations that accompany its focus, a primary focus of his administration, including in his National Security Strategy released in 2015. “[W]e are working toward an ambitious new global climate change agreement to shape standards for prevention, preparedness, and response over the next decade,” that report said.
“In some ways, [climate change] is akin to the problem of terrorism and ISIL,” Obama said at climate talks in Paris in 2015. During a weekly address, Obama said “Today, there is no greater threat to our planet than climate change.”
In September 2016, President Obama released a memorandum requiring federal agencies to consider the effects of climate change in the development of national security-related doctrine, policies, and plans. All of this alarmed critics concerned with more pressing security risks."
You're losing your mind, Metmick. I've never questioned you for a response about anything. Your obsession with climate change has apparently driven you over the edge.
reckless con man......could there be a better description of obama
Obama's approval rating when he left office was at 62% after serving for 8 years.
Rump's approval rating is at 32% after serving 11 months.
and what is the point? You surly are not saying a con as big as Clinton cannot have a high approval and a genuine great like Churchhill have a terrible rating?
