One thing you have to like about Barry is he certainly has his finger right on the pulse of these key issues which require immediate and decisive action.

He's in his second term. I'm pretty sure the first issue he put his finger on was the near collapse of the global economy that came at the end of 8 years of almost complete control by the opposing party. Bringing up plans to deal with things like rising sea levels in coastal cities is not a bad thing for a government to discuss.

The action orders federal agencies to work with states to build “resilience” against major storms and other weather extremes. For example, the president’s order directs that infrastructure projects like bridges and flood control take into consideration climate conditions of the future, which might require building structures larger or stronger — and likely at a higher price tag

They arent just discussing, they are spending everyones money jousting windmills while sucking money out of the private economy.
I didnt see were obama mentioned reducing the empire abroad or grounding air force one to lead the efforts.
And of course he continues to bandy the term "we" around while sacrificing nothing.

Anyway, weather related concerns are a local issue.

Can't wait for this worthless bunch of idiots to leave Washington. Maybe by some chance this country will get back to some normalcy.
