Former President Barack Obama praised 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg as “one of our planet’s greatest advocates” in a Tuesday afternoon Facebook post.
“At just 16 years old, Greta Thunberg is already one of our planet’s greatest advocates,” Obama wrote, praising her for her climate advocacy.
“Her age might have something to do with it. With full knowledge that her generation will bear the heaviest burden of climate change, she’s unafraid to believe that progress is possible—and fight for real change. She’s an example of why Michelle and I started the Obama Foundation — because we believe in a future that’s shaped by the courage and hope of young people like Greta.”
Greta— who started a global “Fridays for Future” school walkout movement to demand that adults fight man-made climate change— stopped by the White House this week to participate in a protest where teenagers and young children held signs protesting everything from fossil fuels to the right to health care.

“You think you will recognize Jesus when he comes back? I see him all around. He is this girl. And y’all don’t even see it,” Silverman tweeted on Saturday.

Obama foundation ? What…. to buy a new water front mansion ?
Will the hypocrisy ever end .
Why do all these former Presidents turn into massive millionaires after they have done almost nothing ? Maybe that is the point… do nothing , go play golf 168 times , stay out of the way , and you get a big bag of cash while the insiders and rent seekers run the show .
A majority of students being given diplomas from the major metro High Schools all over the country can’t read or do math on a 5th grade level, so I suppose missing one day a week to go howl at the moon will have little detrimental effect on their education.
Greta was easier to program than normal children. The Socialists are encouraging others to surrender their inherent scepticism. Gee whiz, maybe a B-list celebrity will call you the New Messiah.

I still think Greta should sail to the ice-free arctic, to check it out for herself.
Her rescue after getting frozen in would be hilarious.
This from a guy who received a Nobel prize for nothing.
Obarmy has been indoctrinated, as well as all the youth of today then, scared to death they only have ten years to live. This ridiculous and dishonest scaremongering must stop, because that is what will ruin our lives!
