But such narrow-mindedness toward the loyal opposition — and its dedication to improving the state of the world — is a recipe for further marginalization and frustration. Remember the adage: "Hate hurts the hater more than the hated." Consider President Obama, who has so little to crow about these days. At the White House Correspondents Dinner last month, the president used the (otherwise) lighthearted occasion to shout at those who doubt his climate-change narrative. "It is crazy! What about our kids? What kind of stupid, short-sided irresponsible bull… " said the president before comedian Keegan-Michael Key jokingly cut him off.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_obama_whcd.jpg
