    Is it your opinion that liberals aren't entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labors, Mr. Earlking? You guys sure give trump a break for how he spends his ill-gotten gains.

    You do not know what sea level projections are for that part of Martha's Vineyard.

    Here is a tip for you. Sea level projections are highly variable around the world. The ocean is not just one big bathtub that rises in level at a uniform rate everywhere. Scientists spend years considering how tides, currents, topography, subsidence, thermal expansion and how all those interplaying factors ranks in the magnitude of the risk of sea level rise to coastal communities.

    I believe the Obama's are smart enough that, before they invest millions of dollars, they are going to either research themselves, or consult with experts, about any natural risks associated with the property they are interested in.
    And yet this interactive page shows Martha's Vineyard underwater.

    You missed the point, Miss Marple.

    It is disingenuous for Obama and Algore (sic ) to scream about inequality when...


    Of course, Capitalism provides riches for all who are bright enough and work hard (or just inherit) to accumulate wealth and they should enjoy what wealth brings.

    Just don’t preach to us about income inequality.

    What are Trump’s ill- gotten gains?

    Conservatives are never envious of another's largess, because unlike you, they understand that it has no impact on their own finances. You make the claim in attempt to skirt the issue, which is that powerful liberals don't believe in climate change. It is just an issue that they run with to achieve their actual goal: power over the plebes.

    The op cleary did no research to ascertain what projected sea level rise is for that part of mass is for the next 20 to 30 years._.the foreseeable remaining life span of the obamas. The op intent was obviously to rush to post with the simple intent to paint obamas in as bad a light as possible .

    Making the op both shockingly lazy and transparently hyperpartisan.

    My professional judgement is that this house is not at risk of innundation in the next 30 years.
    More importantly , obamas seem like people who have faith in humanity , are we not suppossed to be working to mitigate the effects of climate change ?

    Fingerlexia this morning, Mr. Earl?

    There will never be income equality even if Obama and Gore "scream" about it. Recall these words from a wise man: "The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me."

    When the top 1% of Americans control 40% of the country's wealth that is a gross example of income inequality.

    However, I'm glad to see you say "Capitalism provides riches for all who are bright enough and work hard..." because that is exactly what enabled the Obamas to buy their new mansion.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels

    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I don't recall Obama ever telling people not to live near the sea, but then again I don't have much interest in the global warming debate.

    Both fun and pathetic that lifelong Marxists like you are pathologically jealous of your betters.

    I-Pad in bright sunlight on the veranda of our club overlooking the golf course, Miss Marple. I edited it.

    Perhaps that 40% which includes the Obamas and Algores (sic) should give up their ill-gotten gains and give it to those who are not bright enough to earn it. Well, no, if they did that, within two (2) or three (3) years, the 40% would have the money back.

    Patricians and Plebians, they will always be with you. Indeed.

    Pretending u r making a public service announcement is disingenuous , aka dishonest

    Obama never ranted at anyone to stop living near the coast .

    Obama has 20 hears of life left, his house is not being inundated in the next 2 decades.

    The OBAMA climate strategy for coaStal communities were based on mitigation and adaptation .

    Obama never told coaStal people to run for the hills screaming

    The entire left fringe pols are on board with "everything climate".
    Rising seas, intense heat, frigid cold, CO2, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes,
    tornadoes, tsunamis, giving poor little feeble man the credit and power to alter the universe, etc.
    So, we can change the direction of the wind and stop the orbit of the planets, but we can't
    cure cancer.

    I see the fringe left supposed climaphobes living on coastlines and fragile little islands and know
    all is right in my own little world without their fearmongering.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating

    Dumb tard. It's not like buying cancer. Misapplication of term hypocrisy. It may or may not be wise, but hypocrisy doesn't apply.

    If water impairs the property they can dump it. Not like they don't have options. They are obviously willing to take the risk for the benefit of having an awesome place.
    Everyone likes living on waterfront real estate, that doesn't mean they favor ruining it all like you losers do.


    Living in a tin shack by the interstate and drinking all that lead water fucked you mighty good, rube!
