And for once, I agree with you, too.Originally Posted by bigboab
For once I agree with you. Global warming is happening. It has been going on for thousands of years, otherwise we would still be in the ice age. We wont stop it, but we could help by not using it as a tip heap. See there! Just proves that I have an open mind and think before I speak(sometimes).

After he was confirmed as the Democrat nominee for presidency he stated:When did he say it? Because what you "quoted" doesn't say that.
"I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people… I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal… This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation
Seems to me that he is saying that because he was confirmed as the Democrat nominee this will happen. Would he have said that if Billary had won the nomination?
I am sorry but coming from this man, I actually think he believes he has this power. He apparently has lost touch with reality, I mean he even states the democrats lost their majority do to "miscommunication" not people being opposed to his policies.

What you have interpreted those words into what you think he said and what he actually said are two different things.
Pay attention, because rewording statements is why people think AL Gore (I'm using him as the example because he was part of the OP's thread for some reason) claimed he invented the internet.
Perhaps you mean something different to what you actually said, but I only have your exact words to go on.

Please show where I reworded it. There is video to back up what I quoted.I reworded nothing at all. Please show me where I did. There is video of him saying this.

Maybe this will clear up what I am trying to say. He just accepted the nomination. He says we will look back and see that THIS was the moment the sea levels began to lower. He is saying that his nomination is the cause of the sea levels lowering. Not a whole lot to misunderstand.
Anyways that is my take on it. Right or wrong.
He never claimed to be Canute. He was talking about challenges that we ALL have to WORK for if we want to address them.

Again you accuse me of rewording the quote. It is exactly as he said. In fact what you highlighted is the same as I highlighted.
No. You "quoted" with a sentence deleted, removing the part where he said if "WE work/fight/believe in.." leaving only the "I". In doing so you changed the implication from WE can, to HE can
Now when you put the "quote" up you did correctly use the words "the rise of the oceans began to slow", but when you stated what he said you reworded it
When Churchill said "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour." " Was he talking about a specific 60 minutes or a general span in history?

Give it up DA, HMPL was predisposed to dislike Obama and will parse (i.e., misread) anything he says for ammunition to fortify his preconception.
The eight year Bush administration must have been absolute hell for him.
After all, we had a President who claims that God told him to run and Jesus advised him on the war.
So, in essence, the most powerful man in the world was taking advice from imaginary beings.
HMPL must have been livid for nearly a decade.
