Obama stoked these idealistic fans with his talk. Remember his acceptance speech? Oceans will rise indeed.
Now people are pretending that he didn't have anything to do with his messianic image. It wasn't his fault.
I'm not buying it.
He didn't say HE would make the oceans rise. He said, "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal ...". Tell me your interpretation of that. Because I see that as simply a very powerful way to say that he was going to work on trying to slow global warming.
