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.
