Global Warming ‘Surreal Scientific Blunder’ in Temperature Records … Its Not Easy Being Green or Being Credible

Its not easy being Green, especially when you cannot even get the data correct.

Global warming eh? Maybe some one would like to explain the “surreal scientific blunder” and the attempted cover up? As Newsbusters states, this “should cause everyone to question the source’s past and future credibility”. The source in question is NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the outfit run by world champion globalarmist James Hansen.

Hansen has in the past stated that “heads of major fossil-fuel companies who spread disinformation about global warming should be ‘tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.’”

Nothing more need be said regarding experts and global warming that from The Other McCain, “Boggles the mind that bloggers know more about climatology than the government ‘experts’ do”.

The world has never seen such freezing heat.  (UK Telegraph)

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China’s official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its “worst snowstorm ever”. In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.

Here is Your Classy and Bi-Partisan Candidate of Washington Political Change Insulting Nancy and Ronald Reagan at First President-Elect Press Conference

CHANGE? REALLY? LOOKS LIKE MEAN AND INSULTING POLITICS AS USUAL … HOW TYPICAL OF OBAMA.

Barack Obama campaigned on the premise of change and that he would change the way things are done within Washington, DC and the political sniping that has permeated the environment.

How Presidential … first press conference from President-elect Barack Obama and he takes a shot taken at an old lady named Nancy Reagan.

It did not take Obama very long to break his first campaign promise about civility and creating a new “can’t we all get along” environment in politics. Barack Obama took no time in insulting Nancy Reagan and the deceased former President Ronald Reagan. At Obama’s very first President-elect press conference he sees fit to insult Nancy Reagan. America, this is what you have empowered and now you are stuck with it for 4 years.

America, nothing says change, bi-partisanship and the promise of a new day like making fun of an insulting the aging and ailing wife of a former President of the United States who was a Republican icon.

Looks like this is the “change” that we have to look forward to a long with the rest of the lies that came from Obama’s mouth during the campaign.

 Obama has only spoken to living Presidents:

Obama says in his first post-election press conference that he’s spoken to all the former presidents — Carter, Bush, Clinton, as well as the current Bush — and, looser than he’s been in months, dares a joke at the expense of the widow of the most recently deceased.

“I have spoken to all of them who are living,” he says. “I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances,” he says.

He was responding to a question, from the Chicago Sun-Times’ Lynn Sweet, about whether he’d spoken to all of the “living” former presidents.

The Ever Changing Obama Tax Threshold ($250,000? $200,000? $150,000) … How Low Will it Go and include All?

There are three certainties in life, death, taxes and that Democrats will always raise your taxes. For months Barack Obama has stated that he would only raise taxes on those families making more than $250,000 a year. It has been questioned that Obama once in office would lower this amount to fit the massive spending initiatives that he has proposed. As Joe the Plumber had warned and we at Scared Monkeys had questioned as well, when will Obama’s sliding threshold lower to include many more in the middle class than originally stated.

Obama’s position in the past was that he would raise taxes on families making more than $250,000 a year and individuals making more than $200,000.  But in his new ad, “Defining Moment,” he seems to lower it to $200,000 for families. “Here’s what I’ll do as president,” Obama says in the ad.  “To deal with our current emergency I’ll launch a rescue plan for the middle class That begins with a tax cut for 95 percent of working Americans. If you have a job, pay taxes and make less than $200,000 a year, you’ll get a tax cut.” That seems kind of ambiguous, but the graphic on the screen says clearly: “Families making less than $200,000 get tax cut.” Now, the McCain campaign is pointing out something that Joe Biden said in a Pennsylvania TV interview yesterday:

Obama, what happened to families making $250,000? Obama is already lowering the threshold.

Listen to Joe Biden now say that the threshold for middle class is $150,000 a year. So what is it Obama-Biden, $250,000, $200,000 or $150,000? How soon will it be before the middle class is considered below $100,000? Think all voter who consider themselves middle class should be concerned … YOU BETCHA!!!

UPDATE I: Is It No Wonder that Joe Biden is being Kept Under Wraps by Obama Campaign

As Time Magazine calls it, HIDDIN’ JOE BIDEN. The MSM has wanted to focus on Sarah Palin and how much of a detriment she has been to John McCain; however, it is Joe “gaffe a minute” Biden who has been the issue during this Presidential campaign. Is it any wonder that Obama has put a leash on Biden and if possible would have ordered a judge to put a gag order on his own VP. It must be bad if even Karen Tumulty of Time states that Biden is less accessible than Sarah Palin.

But traveling with Biden during this campaign has sometimes been like reporting on a politician packaged in shrink-wrap. While his windy, off-point pontification was the stuff of legend among his Senate colleagues, Biden is now leashed to a teleprompter even when he is talking in a high school gym that is three-quarters empty. The exposure hound who in recent years appeared more often than any other guest on the Sunday talk shows is a virtual stranger to the small band of reporters on his plane — less accessible than even Sarah Palin is to her traveling pack of bloodhounds. And Biden keeps to a schedule that provides a minimum of off-the-cuff encounters with voters, except across a rope line. See Joe Biden’s defining moments here.

The muzzling of Joe Biden

Joe Biden, The Quiet Man

The muzzling of Biden seems unnatural and inhumane, like taking a proud lion into captivity. Biden, who once scolded Sarah Palin for ducking reporters, hasn’t given a news conference since Sept. 7. The king of the rhetorical jungle hasn’t taken questions from voters in a town hall forum since Sept. 10, when he famously said that Hillary Clinton is “more qualified than I am to be vice president” and “might have been a better pick than me.” He doesn’t even do much chitchat with supporters at events since he was caught on tape on one such occasion contradicting Obama’s energy policy.

Now even Palin takes questions from reporters on her campaign plane. But the wordiest man in Washington has to make his remarks short, sweet and canned.

What if ‘SNL’ or the MSM mocked Michelle Obama or Barack Obama … Media Double Standard

Double standard in the media … You betcha!!!

Humor is not only supposed to be funny, really good humor is also based on a hint of the truth. The fact that the media cannot poke fun of Obama is telling. Personally, if one cannot find humor in their own actions and poke fun at themselves, they are not well rounded enough to lead as they take themselves far too seriously.

Why can’t the “lame” stream media or late night comedy shows like SNL be fair in their representation of their craft? One, the media, is supposed to report the news, provide us with insight and expose the truth. They are supposed to do this without an overt bias an openly rooting for a political candidate. The other, comedy, is supposed to make us laugh through whatever method and provide a satirical environment of not only the political landscape, but our society. Why do they both fail miserably? Is it any wonder why the NY Times is losing money. They must ask themselves, in an Obama Administration … what is the media and SNL going to show their readers and viewers, a blank page or screen?

As Pat Buchanan recently wrote, what if SNL mocked Michelle Obama? Buchanan’s thought is if they did they would be brought up on hate crimes. If anyone thinks that is far fetched all one needs to look at is the consistent use of the word “racist” for any questioning of Barack or Michelle Obama. Instead the MSM piles on Sarah Palin, John and even Cindy McCain and forgets Biden and the Obama’s. The liberals play the “experience” card with Palin, yet forget their hypocrisy in that not too long ago the Dems were a scream way from nominating Howard Dean, an inexperienced Governor of the small state of VT to be President.

The media cannot get enough of the “Saturday Night Live” impersonations of Palin as a bubblehead. News shows pick up the Tina Fey clips and run them and run them to the merriment of all.

Can one imagine “Saturday Night Live” doing weekly send-ups of Michelle Obama and her “I’ve never been proud” of my country, this “just downright mean” America, using a black comedienne to mimic and mock her voice and accent?

“Saturday Night Live” would be facing hate-crime charges.

Frightening, Joe Biden Says: “It Will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama … it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right”

Inexperienced Obama Response to World Test on American National Security You Can Believe In …

Who do you want in charge when America is attacked, an inexperienced, naive, never been tested Obama or and experienced and tested John McCain? The national security and safety of its citizens is not a social experiment and should never be.

Mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking …  to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” (Joe Biden)

Biden gaffe or complete honesty? Is Biden providing some real insight here and asking people to wake up an notice the obvious? Could Biden actually be putting country before politics? The national security of the United States is not something to take lightly. Terrorism is a real and present danger, yet Obama and his surrogates would lead you to believe a rank amature can handle it. Why, Obama’s own VP Joe Biden never thought so in the past and it appears he is still not convinced now.

The media and Obama campaign would lead “We the People” to believe that all new Presidents are tested by crisis. Really, not all. Harken back to when a supposed too old to be President Ronald Reagan first took office. The first thing that happened was that US hostages were freed from Iran as they wanted nothing to do with Reagan. The same can most likely be said regarding McCain. There is a reason why the military supports McCain while Obama draws world support from countries that are hardly friendly to the United States.

“The Presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training”.

Democrat VP candidate Joe Biden is now predicting an attack by enemies of the United States within the first 6 months of an Obama presidency. See full transcript HERE. What might even be more frightening than an inexperienced and naive Obama at the wheel during such a crisis is the fact that Biden says that America is going to have to stand with Obama because after such an attack and I quote, “Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Frightening! America will be attacked and Biden is predicting that Obama will not get it right!

“And here’s the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he’s gonna have to make some really tough - I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s gonna happen. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you, not financially to help him, we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

The Obama spin machine would lead you to believe that Biden meant the next president’s mettle will be tested no matter who was elected. BS!!! More Obama excuses to his lack of foreign policy credentials. Biden specifically stated, “The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year old senator president of the United States of America.” Last time we checked John McCain was a little older than 47 and tested. BTW, I do not remember the “Bay of Pigs” going to well for JFK.

Answering questions after a meeting with Biden and national security advisers, Obama insists that Joe Biden intended to say that the next president will be tested by foreign powers, regardless of who is elected.

“Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes, but i think his core point was that the next administration is going to be tested, regardless of who it is,” he said at the Richmond, Va., event.

You Know You are a Redneck when … You Live in Western PA, So Says Murtha … Could PA be back in Play?

Democratic US Rep Murtha may single handedly be bringing PA back into play and a battleground state. At what point do PA voters get tired of being insulted?

You know you are a racist when …

You know you are a redneck when …

You know you are really a redneck when …

Is it any wonder why nervous Democrat PA Governor Ed Rendell is begging Barack Obama to come back and campaign in Pennsylvania. It appears that in light of Murtha’s recent comments, Barack Obama’s “Bitter Gun Toting Bible Thumping” voters may be turning away. Gee, go figure.

The nervousness of Rendell makes one skeptical of a state like PA that according to polls shows Obama with a comfortable 11 point lead.  Or is it? Could Pennsylvania actually be in play? Does Ed Rendell know something that we don’t? Obviously being governor he does have a pulse on the state of Pennsylvania. Having also been a Hillary Clinton supporter in the Democratic primaries knows that the polls said the race was close and Hillary won going away by 10.

Pennsylvania US Rep John Murtha to Constituents You are Not Racists … You are Rednecks

How many accusations of racism or insults are voters willing to put up with from the Left?

So why is it that those in Pennsylvania are voting for PA (Dem) US Rep. John Murtha and Barack Obama? Pennsylvania is a battleground state in this upcoming election, one wonders why anyone in the Keystone state would vote for people who insult and belittle them?

First John Murtha called his constituents racists as he stated on camera that Obama may not do well in Western Pennsylvania because his constituents are racists. Obviously realizing that Murtha made a mistake, he corrected and clarified his comments to say, that the people of Western Pennsylvania are not really racists, “they are really rednecks.” Nice. Does Martha care to try for another apology and further insult the very people who voted him in office?

Let us not also forget the insulting comments of Barack Obama to the people of small town PA while he was at a fund raiser in San Francisco where Obama states,
“they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them …”

The news comes one week after Murtha claimed the area is racist, then apologized for that comment.

In explaining his comments about racism, Murtha told WTAE it’s difficult for many in the area to change. Murtha said that just five to 10 years ago the entire area was “redneck.”

Sounds Like Biden has a Dan Quayle Potato”e” Moment: Joe Biden, Jobs are a 3 Letter Word, J O B S

Wait, its a Joe Biden sighting … fire up the gaffe-o-meter.

Imagine, just imagine if Sarah Palin had made this comment. Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden thinks that JOBS are a 3 letter word. However, when a Democrat makes a screw up like this … it’s just Joe being Joe; however, if Sarah Palin had done the same it would be headline breaking news that she was unqualified to be Vice President and a sure fire skit for Saturday Night Live.

One thing is for certain, Obama’s socialist spread the wealth ideas for our economy is a four letter word.

Why can’t Biden count?

Barack Obama’s Joe the Plumber Spread the Wealth a kin to John Kerry’s “Global Test” Comment 4 Years Ago

John Kerry to Barack Obama … One Socialist to Another, Same Song Different Candidate.

For anyone actually paying attention and actually holding Barack Obama to his spoken word … Obama’s Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher comment of spread the wealth should be chilling and down right frightening. If you think Obama’s spread the wealth comment reeks of socialism, you would be correct. One should ask themselves how is Obama’s socialism comment regarding distribution of your wealth any different that the 2004 John Kerry gaffe when he said that matters of American foreign policy need to pass a global test? The answer … it isn’t. However, sadly America seems today to have no issue with higher taxes, questionable associations, socialist policies and a presidential candidate who wants America to be just like Europe ultimately passing Kerry’s Global test.

Why was a socialist global test a fatal blow for John Kerry, yet Obama’s socialist economic plan of spreading the wealth ok? Voters should ask themselves that question on their ride to the polls.

There is a reason why “Joe the Plumber” references were abound during last nights third and final Presidential Debate. Joe the Plumber said, “It’s pretty surreal, man, my name being mentioned in a presidential campaign.” The American people may just want to hold Obama accountable on spread the wealth as its only a matter of time before its your wealth that is being redistributed. McCain did not say it, however, I will … do you really believe that a Socialist Democrat like Obama is going to cut taxes? PLEASE!

AMERICA … Joe the Plumber is YOU!!!

The Gateway Pundit explains that in last nights debate between Obama and McCain, it was Joe the Plumber who had the best line of the night … “Obama’s Proposal Scares Me Because It’s Just One More Step Towards Socialism”

ABC: Joe The Plumber: Obama Tax Plan ‘Infuriates Me’

John McCain may have found a blue-collar face to help him argue that no American — not even the richest 5 percent — should pay higher taxes.

“Joe The Plumber” has weighed in on Wednesday’s presidential debate and he says that Barack Obama’s tax plan “infuriates me.”

“To be honest with you, that infuriates me,” plumber Joe Wurzelbacher told Nightline’s Terry Moran. “It’s not right for someone to decide you made too much—that you’ve done too good and now we’re going to take some of it back.”

“That’s just completely wrong,” he added.

The Politico:  Joe the Plumber, encounter with Obama, the Illinois Senator “a tap dance…almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr.”

Joe Biden Gaffe Shows he Needs a History Lesson … FDR led when market crashed … Oops, it was Hoover and No to Clean Coal

The Obama – Biden Odd Couple are at it again.

The Biden Gaffe-o-Meter has been working overtime these days. Biden praised Democratic President FDR and said today’s leaders should take a lesson from the history books and follow fellow Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt’s response to a financial crisis.  Rather than taking a lesson from a history books, maybe Obama’s pick for VP should in fact read a history book. Maybe one say, regarding the stock market crash in 1929. The hell with reading a book, just do a google search and read the Wiki. It was not FDR who resided over the stock market crash, it was Herbert Hoover.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,’” Barack Obama’s running mate recently told the “CBS Evening News.”

Except, Republican Herbert Hoover was in office when the stock market crashed in October 1929.

Possibly even more comical that Biden’s blunder when it came to who was in office during the stock market crash of 1929, was the following comment regarding instilling confidence in what a leader knows and communicating it to the people. I guess its safe to say, by Biden’s own definition, that since Biden seems to know nothing regarding the crash … he instills no confidence either.

“Part of what being a leader does is to instill confidence, is to demonstrate what he or she knows what they are talking about and to communicating to people … this is how we can fix this,” Biden said.

Ace of Spades reiterates the fact that the “Dangerously Unprepared Vice Presidential Candidate Embarrasses Himself With Steady Stream of Ignorant, Dishonest Gaffes”. Obama knew that Biden was a walking, talking gaffe machine and still chose him as his VP candidate. We already knew Biden was an accident waiting to happen; however, it speaks volumes as to Obama’s decision making ability. No to clean coal, hmm, the voters of Pennsylvania should find that factoid interesting especially since Obama claims he was for it.
