Obama Claims Asthma Sufferers Need Global Warming Regs, That Hurt Asthma Patients April 9, 2015 by Daniel Greenfield
I’m not sure what the difference between Global Warming and witches is anymore. You can blame anything on both and both were considered the science of the day.
These days shouting Global Warming is as much empty nonsense as shouting, “A witch did it.” A little reminder of that from the Global Witchfinder-in-Chief
Zitat“Obama says climate change first became a personal issue for him when his 16-year-old daughter was rushed to the hospital 12 years ago after suffering from an asthma attack.”
It first became an issue for me when I ran out of butter, which like Malia’s asthma had nothing to do with Global Warming.
But I can either blame a witch for stealing all my butter… or blame Global Warming.
Zitat“What I can relate to is the fear a parent has, when your 4-year-old daughter comes up to you and says, ‘Daddy, I’m having trouble breathing.’ The fright you feel is terrible,” the president told ABC News in an interview broadcast Wednesday. And the emotional manipulation is awesome. “And if we can make sure that our responses to the environment are reducing those incidents, that’s something that I think every parent would wish for,” Mr. Obama said. “And the good news is there are concrete steps we can take to do something about it.”
If only we can defeat Carbon, then we can finally stop asthma, which is not caused by Carbon. On the other hand, Global Warming regs denied more effective inhalers to people with asthma. Global Warming doesn’t hurt people with asthma. Global Warming regulations do.
Zitat“The Food and Drug Administration has outlawed the only over-the-counter asthma medicine in the U.S. It has also banned a number of other asthma medicines that patients like and that doctors have prescribed for them. In imposing these prohibitions, the FDA hasn’t denied that the banned asthma medicines are safe and effective for their intended use. (Disclosure: While serving as administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs during President Barack Obama’s first term, I participated in discussions of some issues examined here.) The FDA is supposed to help patients, not hurt them. Why does it ban asthma medicines?”
If Obama really cared about his daughter’s asthma, maybe he should stop the fearmongering and regulations that hurt asthma patients.

Both my brother and sister suffered from asthma when children and that was some years ago, long, long before the GW/CC hysteria. I wonder how Obama would explain theirs and thousands of other's condition prior to the current frenzy.

Now don't confuse Zero with reality or the facts.
The earliest mention of asthma that I know of goes back to medical writings in ancient Egypt and Greece.
An interesting point: It isn't GW that aggravates Malia's asthma. Far more likely the cause is Obama's addiction to nicotine.
"President Obama blames global warming for his daughter's asthma. Today that's politically useful spin, but the science says something different. If you're looking for a culprit, it just might be Malia's dad.

The president, who quit smoking years ago [?], has long kept his tobacco use out of doors. That's a common-sense tactic for folks who have trouble quitting. But sometimes, science can show that common sense has less sense than you think.
Research funded by the National Institutes of Health has shown that smoking outside doesn't totally protect children from secondhand smoke. Even when smoking is done outside, nicotine in infants' hair is five times higher for babies with outside smoking parents than non-smoking parents. Smoking-related chemicals in infants' urine is seven times higher. Other studies have found similar results.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "tobacco smoke is one of the most common asthma triggers," and "if you have asthma, it's important that you avoid exposure to secondhand smoke."
