JIM TREACHER: Obama To Peasants On Climate Change: Sacrifices For Thee, Not For Me. Climate worrier Eric Holthaus is baffled about why President Obama would fly someone halfway around the world just for a friendly personal chat. Treacher explains things: “Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to increase Sir David Attenborough’s carbon footprint by summoning him for a face-to-face about the environment, then it’s not hypocrisy because he’s the one doing it. Phone? Skype? Gchat? All that stuff is for the little people. Y’know, the ones who are actually funding Obama’s various whims.”
