The Champ: Global Warming Gave My Daughter Asthma
2015-04-09
[Daily Caller] Doubling-down on his campaign to tie global warming to respiratory illness, President Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" that global warming gave his daughter, Malia, asthma when she was a toddler.

Scary stuff, but there's just one problem for the Champ: comments a couple years ago made by his wife Michelle suggest that being in a crowded circus with lots of dust and particles in the air triggered their daughter's asthma, not global warming. Their daughter also has a peanut allergy, and circuses are usually teaming with peanuts.
Their asthma story appears to be evolving.
Despite that glaring fact, the Champ continued to use his daughter's asthma to further political ends.
But, but, but I thought the royal kiddies were OFF LIMITS ?
"You worry the environment, the climate, has impacted on your own daughter," Dr. Richard Besser, ABC's chief health and medical editor, asked the Champ in an interview the day after the White House launched a renewed effort to tie asthma to global warming.
Nice set up Dr. Besser, very nice.
"Well you know Malia had asthma when she was 4 and because we had good health insurance, we were able to knock it out early," the Champ told Besser.

#14  It's possibly her diet. Not enough of the healthy oils in her diet. Olive oil and my preference coconut oil. I was born with it and beat it when I was 41. Chronic sinus drainage also sets you up for asthma and then bronchitis. Constant irritation.

#11  Asthma never goes away. It can stay dormant for a long time before becoming active again. I know from experience.

#10  Apparently, it gave Obama brain rot (along with the weed he smoked in his choom gang.)

#6  Shameless, though points for actually talking about his real life family other than My Plea Sons.

"Well you know Malia had asthma when she was 4 and because we had good health insurance, we were able to knock it out early," the Champ told Besser

Gee, about the same time mom tied onto the University of Chicago Hospital. Bet that had a great insurance package plus some front of the line pull.

#5  I wonder what caused my asthma. This is what happens when we have a president who is functionally scientifically ignorant.

#4  Sashay and Bulimia will grow up to be just as embittered and demanding as their entitled grifter parents if there's not an intervention. Look at Chelsea

#1  Second hand tobacco smoke has been linked to asthma in children. Wouldn't know of anyone who did smoke around them?
