Well, 2 out of 3 Ain't Bad, Mr. President

Unless your spaceship just landed on Earth 5 minutes ago, you're probably aware that President Barak Obama has had a very busy week. Well, I'm sure as president all your weeks are quite hectic, but this one perhaps especially so. If nothing else, he's been exceptionally active at the UN. He's made several speeches about issues with potential and confirmed global impacts and consequences. Let's see how they've been received, shall we?

It seems no one disagreed vehemently with what you had to say about the urgent need to deal with the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, so you get a check mark here for overall public approval, Mr. President.



And your call to confront ISIL in Iraq did not upset many apple carts, so we'll check off another one of your messages at the UN as having met with widespread agreement.



Moving right along, you gave a speech about the immediate and future dangers of climate change, and — uh oh...



All these people below had little to say about your other speeches, Mr. President...nope, hardly a peep...and, yet, look at the shitstorm of infantile ignorance your climate change talk provoked from them.

• After an exhaustive search, one guy supposedly from your side of the political aisle was found to disagree with you. Wow, that's a crushing blow, huh? And he wears a bow tie, so you should probably just concede defeat now.
• Fox News is jumping for joy that it can nitpick some of your numbers, thereby avoiding the larger message.
• It's sensible to boycott the summit entirely, apparently, because some really idiotic deniers think climate change won't affect the poor negatively.
• Chip Knappenberger and the Cato Institute don't care what you say, or how ignorant of statistics it makes them look, 1998 is still their favorite year ever. To paraphrase Luther Ingram...
  
  

  "If loving you, 1998, is wrong, I don't wanna be right!"

• The tin foil hats at the Heartland Institute have their members believing action on climate change is "a giant wealth transfer scheme from the poor in rich countries to the rich in poor countries." Figure that one the fuck out.
• Some couldn't even be bothered to listen to your speech, so they just repeated the same stupid crap you went out of your way to explain was no longer an acceptable excuse/response.
• And last but far from least, for one really demented denier, your speech proved some strange point about masturbation. I wish I was making this one up.

So, there you go, Mr. President. Even though what you said in all three instances was equally justified, due to abject science illiteracy on the part of climate change deniers, you can't win 'em all. Sooner or later common sense runs out of welcome with complete idiots.
