Clinton Rips Romney For Criticizing Obama Promise "To Turn Back The Seas"
Bill Clinton: I was actually listening closely to what the candidates said in these debates. In the first debate, the triumph of the moderate Mitt Romney. You remember what he did? He ridiculed the President. Ridiculed the President for his efforts to fight global warming in economically beneficial ways. He said Oh, youre going to turn back the seas. In my part of America, we would like it if someone couldve done that yesterday. All up and down the East Coast, there are mayors, many of them Republicans, who are being told, Youve got to move these houses back away from the ocean. Youve got to lift them up.
Climate change is going to raise the water levels on a permanent basis. If you want your town insured, you have to do this. In the real world, Barack Obamas policies work better. (Bill Clinton, Remarks, Minneapolis, MN, 10/30/12)
