SUV drivers are responsible for giving the president's daughter asthma

[Anonymous]

Just to clarify, it's the SUV that I drive, not the SUV's that her security detail drives when they're behind the first family 24/7.

It's mine, not theirs, right?

How many MPG's is the "tank" getting these days?

You're either stupid illiterates or liars. Help me out and tell me which.

This is his exact comment:

“What I can relate to is the fear a parent has, when your 4-year-old daughter comes up to you and says, ‘Daddy, I’m having trouble breathing.’ The fright you feel is terrible,” the president said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Wednesday.
“And if we can make sure that our responses to the environment are reducing those incidents, that's something that I think every parent would wish for.”

It ignores the fact that lots of natural things trigger asthma that one can't control, such as pollen. One of the major triggers of asthma are respiratory infections, which spread around day care like wildfire. In fact, they can be causative, i.e. R.S.V caught at an early age of infancy can sensitize the airway and cause asthma issues. Does he plan to close down day cares?

You're arguing against fighting air pollution? Bizarre.

I'm arguing about expensive legislation and blame to get that legislation passed

I know, right? China's economy is doing great without regulations. Nevermind the asthma.

So..... you are saying that Obama is required to list all triggers of asthma attacks in order to be allowed the suggestion that air pollution can trigger them too?

I'll put you down for stupid illiterate.

During the 1996 Olympics, when traffic rules reduced car volume in Atlanta, the city experienced a 42% decline in pediatric ER visits for asthma attacks, even while other pediatric ER visits were stable.

Wow, that's pretty incredible. I don't see how the effect could be reproduced long-term, even if significantly expanded metro. But maybe we should put some energy into it and see what we can do.

I'm saying he targeted his pet boogeyman, and plans to spend a lot of money in that direction, while his wife and he take separate jets on vacation.

How many regulations do you need? Zero? A million?

No, you didn't actually say that. You said something else. Now you are changing direction.

By that logic, we should not bother fighting cancer because of heart disease.

It can cause asthma. Parents who smoke increase the likelihood than their infants will develop asthma. It can also trigger asthma attacks.

The President smokes like a chimney. I wonder if he has considered that he is the most likely cause of the asthma.

Exactly.

Agreed. Let's increase regulation on smoking.

You and I both know that he is simply using his daughter's asthma to push an agenda. He really doesn't care about asthmatic kids one whit.
