Special Michelle Hawaii Flight Would Cost Thousands | The Blog on Obama: White House Dossier
President Obama’s decision to send Michelle and his daughters to Hawaii ahead of him if he is delayed by a fight with Congress could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of extra dollars to fund two separate vacation flights and related costs. The move would also violate the intent of an executive order he issued just last month urging federal employees to cut back on expenses like travel.

GM has announced it is willing to give a full refund to customers who bought Volts and are worried they will burst into flames. My question is this: In these refunds, does GM or the car buyer intend to reimburse the taxpayer for the $7500 subsidy we kicked in?
"His Nickname Is George W. Obama": Leading Climate Change Denier Embraces U.S. Stance at U.N. Talks
Democracy Now! caught up to Marc Morano, publisher of the Climate Depot, at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa. "They [the Obama administration] have kept the exact same principles and negotiating stance as President George Bush did for eight years," Morano says. "Obama has carried on Bush’s legacy. So, as skeptics, we tip our hat to President Obama in helping crush and continue to defeat the United Nations process. Obama has been a great friend of global warming skeptics at these conferences."

The BBC: less trustworthy, more dangerous than a cannibal polar bear – Telegraph Blogs
Though Attenborough was rarely explicit about anthropogenic influences on the "climate change" he kept lamenting, he didn't need to be. For one thing, in the interviews he has given to promote the programme, he has made it abundantly clear that he is a fully paid up member of the Great Green Religion of ManPolarBearPig. For another, the debate has long since been framed in such a way by environmental propagandists that the anthropogenic connection doesn't need to be stated any more. Merely to show a melting glacier or a lonely polar bear, is more than enough these days. It's shorthand for: "And it's all your fault, you bastard, for your selfishness, your greed and your persistent habit of taking holidays on Ryanair and EasyJet when really the only people who should be allowed to use aircraft ever again are Al Gore, Prince Charles, COP17 delegates, and members of the BBC or the British Antarctic Survey racking up the carbon airmiles in order to show just how dangerous carbon is."
