Hi James:  

"... When did Obama take credit for the moment when the rise would stop? He didn't ..."  Review the YouTube clip again.  It is absolutely implicit in his rhetoric that he is claiming the ability to stop the sea level rise, and his bedazzled acolytes clearly believe every word of it.  (Did you??  Do you still?)

Your continued hero worship is charming, but now you're claiming that Mr. Obama couldn't and shouldn't be held to things he said, because everyone knew it was just an empty throw-away phrase right from the start?  Well gosh, what *did* he say that we could take seriously?  (That bit about 'we can't drill our way to greater energy self-sufficiency', or perhaps 'you will save an average of $2500 every year on your healthcare insurance'?)  :-/

You are reminding of that internet meme that circulated around 2010 - picture of Ned Stark from GoT, and the caption, "Hang on!  The Liberals are about to claim that Obama never said exactly what he did!"    Thanks for sharing.
