Doomsday Clock Pushed Back 1 Minute. . . .



Hell, I feel safer already. . . .Don't you?

According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:

The Bulletin of Atomic Scienticians -- a group of leftists who convinced the media to invest meaning in a meaningless prop -- have pushed back the hands of the "Nuclear Doomsday Clock" by one minute because... and only because....

Obama is the president.

So many flavors of idiocy here. The left-wing group that convinces the dumb media herd that a propaganda image is actually meaningful in some way. Once again, giving credit to a figurehead president who has accomplished nothing. Defiance of the reality that Iran is speeding toward nuclear armament. Magical thinking on the part of progressives that if they pretend Obama is making the world safer, it will be safer. Take your pick. These were the same nuts who thought nuclear war under Ronald Reagan was all but inevitable.

According to wikipedia.com:

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face, maintained since 1947 by the board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago. The closer the clock is to midnight, the closer the world is estimated to be to global disaster. As of January 14, 2010, the Doomsday Clock now stands at six minutes to midnight; since its creation the time on the clock has changed 19 times.

Originally, the analogy represented the threat of global nuclear war, but since 2007 it has also reflected climate-changing technologies and "new developments in the life sciences and nanotechnology that could inflict irrevocable harm."

Doomsday clock reset thanks to Obama

INTERNATIONAL scientists nudged back the minute hand of the symbolic Doomsday clock, as they praised US President Barack Obama for helping to pull the world back from nuclear or environmental catastrophe.

Whew! Obama Pulls Planet Back from Catastrophe

Where would we be without such greatness, a man who single-handedly has saved the world from oblivion?

Considering Obama has done nothing to prevent a terrorist state in Iran from acquiring nukes, I'd say he's brought us closer to doomsday. Infact the threat from Iran is entirely ignored in the story.

Will the slobbering over this man ever end?
