Rep. Markey says 'super-storm'
Sandy shows climate change
'at our doorstep'

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Pete Kasperowicz

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/1/2012 1:33:10 PM

Rep. Edward Markey (Mass.), the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, said Tuesday that "super-storm Sandy" is the latest evidence that climate change will continue to lead to "extreme weather" conditions in the United States. "For this super-storm to occur so late in the storm season, reach such fury and have the kinds of flooding impacts that we are seeing is fully consistent with what scientists have told us we should expect due to global warming," Markey said. "It's time to admit the obvious fact that

Comments:
Blah, blah, blah. The insane Democrats just can't let a crisis go to waste. They're just pathetic. If you think 0bamacare is bad cap and trade would be the same if not worse in the destruction of the economy of our country.

Yes, the Atlantic ocean has risen and gotten warmer, but the Pacific, which is much bigger, has fallen and gotten colder. The weatherman I saw said it is the same pattern that was in place from 1954-1960. Climate changes all the time and particularly every few hundred years. Nothing new here.

Dude, this was not a super-storm. It was a category one hurricane, and it fell off of that almost immediately upon making landfall. If it had been a super-storm, the area where those frame houses that are now surrounded by water stand would be nothing but a level pile of kindling.

Besides the Long Island Express Hurricane of 1938 (which was the deadliest and costliest hurricane in recent history - at the time, there was a lot less property to be damaged than there is now but it was said that if the same storm hit today, it would cost at least $39 Billion) And then, what about the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635????

"Mockky" is an idiot. This was not a super storm, it was a category I that dropped down to tropical classification as it came inland.
It had a lot of water with it. It was not the first New England storm, nor the last. Deal with it and shut up about AGW!.

In a speech that addressed youth violence in Chicago, First Lady Michelle Obama compared herself to Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old girl murdered soon after attending President Obama´s Second Inauguration. "Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her," said the first lady. "Thousands of children in this city live in neighborhoods where a funeral for a teenager is considered unfortunate, but not unusual; where wandering onto the wrong block or even just standing on your own front porch can mean putting yourself at risk," Michelle Obama told the Chicago crowd, according to a transcript provided by the White House.

Left-wing magazine Mother Jones made news this week with a report based on a secret recording of a Feb. 2 meeting of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell with campaign strategists. Federal and state law prohibits publication of information acquired through secret recording, but a 2001 Supreme Court ruling gives publishers like Mother Jones a get-out-of-jail-free card. But whoever taped the private conversation can’t wiggle off the hook so easily. Whoever bugged the meeting room or secretly placed a recording device will be in serious legal trouble — unless he or she was one of the strategists.

Santorum had been invited to deliver a upcoming speech on leadership by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Gross Pointe South High School. But the speech was canceled on Monday after the school district’s superintendent heard from angry teachers. “It’s a sad day when liberal educators are allowed to influence young minds – extending free speech rights only to those who share their liberal views,” Santorum said

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

President Obama´s push to pass stricter gun control laws will cost Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday. "I think the president has shown he is willing to demagogue an issue and that it is ultimately going to backfire," Cruz said in an interview on Laura Ingraham´s radio show. Cruz´s comments come as Congress debates passing a set of gun control measures meant to reduce gun violence and prevent shooting massacres similar to the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

During Barack Obama´s presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute. Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama´s presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI. Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days. That equates to 36,480 hours, or 2,188,800 minutes. Divide the 70,291,049 background checks by 2,188,800 minutes and you get approximately 32 checks for gun purchases every minute!

As he rolls out his fiscal 2014 budget on Wednesday, a new survey finds that Americans haven’t felt this confident about President Obama’s handling of the economy since his first year in office. The Gallup poll, which sampled more than 1,000 Americans, found that 57 percent say they have a “great deal or a fair amount of confidence” in Mr. Obama to do the right thing on the economy. That’s up from just 50 percent last year and hasn’t been this high since it hit 71 percent in 2008. Trust in congressional Republicans, on the other hand, remains low.

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.
