Barack Obama claims the planet will “boil over” if Africans raise their standard of living

July 1, 2013

 While speaking at a town hall meeting in Africa over the weekend Barack Obama told the crowd that if the African people raise their standard of living the planet is doomed:

“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy” 

  The left and Barack Obama were fond of calling President Bush a fear monger and yet what is Barack Obama’s statement to the African people on global warming if it is not fear mongering?

    Let’s kill two birds with one stone: bring all the carless and air conditionless Africans to this country so Africa won’t boil over and the democrats will win all elections without having to bring his amigos here from south of the border.

    How ignorant can one man really be? Do you suppose he really believes what he said?

    And what about the double standard? Isn’t he supposed to be so in favor of helping Africans rise out of poverty, etc.?

      I think he and all the elites know what they are pushing isn’t true, this is all about global socialization and they know it. he doesn’t so much as want Africa to raise its standard of living so much as he wants the US to lower our standard of living. If Obama had his way all nations would be equally mediocre and run by an elite ruling class.

    Here is another part of the world we are totally ignorant of. We need to stay out of this area. But Mr. Community Organizer thinks Big Government knows best. I guess he is auditioning for his next job World Community Organizer.

    Here is an article of how the lives of the ordinary African people can be improved.

      Interesting article but can people working in cooperatives, children getting an education and learning trades be superior to intergenerational governmental dependency? What the Rwandans really need is community organizating advocating high-rise living, McDonalds and hip hop concerts. Once lethargy augmented by obesity takes hold they will be ready to emigrate to this country where these can be led from the airports to the nearest inner city social security office. Obama’s vision for rehabilitating the dark continent will be a resounding success. Meanwhile Sasha and Masha will be getting a top tiered education at the best private school we taxpayers can afford.

    If Bush had made that statement Al Sharpton’s head would have exploded. But it was Obama who said it so nothing to see here.
