Former President Barack Obama, The Arrogant One, recently
made a claim that should immediately see him put in the preposterous statement
Hall of Fame…or Hall of Shame.
Speaking
at Rice University’s Baker Institute for its 25th anniversary gala,
Obama told the over 1,000 assembled guests, “I was extraordinarily proud of the
Paris accords because—you know, I know we’re in oil country and we need
American energy, and by the way, American energy production, you wouldn’t
always know it but it went up every year I was president. That whole, suddenly
America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas—that
was me, people. Just say thank you please.”
If he
was Pinocchio, his nose would’ve spanned the distance from Houston to San
Antonio by the time he was done falsely congratulating himself.
I know
Obama isn’t a big fan of the Jewish state, but talk about chutzpah! The Paris
Accord was an agreement to slash use and production of fossil fuels. Talk about
delusional! Obama himself publicly said that fuel prices must rise dramatically
if we were to have any hope of saving the planet. He talked about $5-per-gallon
gasoline. He put the kibosh on the Keystone Pipeline and refused to consider
new coal plants. His Secretary of State went on to become the first American
presidential aspirant to campaign in West Virginia and tell its citizens that
we must put a complete stop to the mining coal. “Sorry about all your jobs!
Vote for me!”
Obama’s
statement would be akin to Neville Chamberlain saying to Czechoslovakians on
August 31st, 1939: “I was extraordinarily proud of the Munich
Agreement because—you know, this whole ‘peace in our time’—that was me people. I've kept us out of war ever since. Just say thank you please.”
It
would be as if George H.W. Bush (God rest his soul) had said in recent years: “I
am extraordinarily proud that broccoli production went up every year I was
president. The United States is now the 3rd leading producer of
broccoli in the world. Overall, broccoli consumption has gone up roughly 940% from
1990 to 2015. That was me, people. Just say thank you please.”
