So far Politicans are willing to not even recognize AGW

Wrong - they recognized the scam since they run them so often themselves.

The planet is running a CO2 deficit and I'm doing all I can to correct the situation.

Newt calls Obama's Trayvon Martin comments 'disgraceful'
| 3/23/12 7:11 PM EDT
Per POLITICO's Ginger Gibson, Newt Gingrich accused President Obama of playing race:

Newt Gingrich called Obama's remarks about Trayvon Martin "disgraceful" in an interview with Sean Hannity, according to CBS/National Journal.

“It’s not a question of who that young man looked like. Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background," Gingrich said. "Is the President suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot that would be ok because it didn’t look like him?"

Earlier in the day Gingrich told reporters that he thought the case should be investigated and suggested the shooter was at fault.

"That’s just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot," Gingrich continued on Hannity's show. "It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian-American of if he’d been a Native American. At some point we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American. It is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.”

Obama has gotten some criticism for discussing a pending legal matter. But the question of whether Martin's race was a factor in his death, in which his alleged shooter was not arrested, is very much a part of the outcry over the case, and why it's gotten so much attention.
