Perrier President   [Chris Horner]

This gem just in from Tuesday's press conference:

Obama:  “At a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation [Waxman-Markey] is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerous carbon emissions that contaminate the water we drink and pollute the air we breathe.”

Well, at least he's got a really good reason for the biggest tax hike in U.S. history. Does this have some relationship to New York's soda tax?

This is either adorably (remember, it's The One) ignorant, or a terrifying affirmation that his allies aren't blowing smoke, and he really does plan on using the Law of the Sea Treaty — and its binding, unaccountable, foreign court — to claim to control the last refuge for alarmists (in the face of collapsing temperatures): "ocean acidification" from our burning of coal, gas, and oil.

Still, just for a moment imagine if his name were Bush.

Then again, given their cheerleading and masking of the scientific scandals, just think what a quandary our media would be in then!
