Hillary Clinton: Fighting Global Warming Is Like a Weight-Loss Battle (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
CNN

Hillary Clinton showed her humorous side yesterday, when she compared the fight against global warming to her battle of the bulge.

"You know, oftentimes when you face such an overwhelming challenge as global climate change is, it can be somewhat daunting," Clinton said, reports CNN. "It’s kind of like trying to lose weight — which I know something about. Where you think, you know, ‘Oh, I only have to lose X numbers of pounds.’ But it can seem like such a faraway goal." We’re sure many Americans can relate …

Later she said: "But one thing at a time … it’s kind of like world peace, and therefore, why even try? Because we’re called to try. It’s who we are."

Listen to Clinton’s full remarks below:

"Because we’re called to try. It’s who we are. " is great, too bad everyone is focusing on the weight thing.

It’s the key to preservation of saltwater aquatic agriculture, such as pearl farming. Pearl-bearing mollusks can’t live in highly acidic water, and intense typhoons destroy the crops…

She & everyone else on this "Global Warming" nonsense is full of it. Clinton is a member of ""Buildeburg Group""!!!!!  Wake up people! do some research - Global Warming is not a problem, It’s their excuse to manipulate more taxes & you people to go along with it & pay them ‘willingly’!  She is a part of the problem along with the Federal Reserve Bank. SHE WORKS FOR THEM!!!!

I see the conspiracy theorists are back. Some people just cannot accept science. We lost more than a decade to Bush and the the denialists, and now cap-and-trade is in trouble. Those who create the problems will still not be the ones paying the consequences. As always, main street still gets stuck with the check.
