“You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire, denying climate change,” said President Obama at a fundraiser in Silicon Valley on Sunday, allegedly. It's like he's been reading Grist! Or more like he made the obvious connection that everyone with even a lizard-like sense for irony would make. It’s nice to see the president lobbing some snark, but are the claws ever going to come out outside of $2,500-a-plate dinners stocked with wall-to-wall supporters? I guess it depends on who Obama faces in 2012.
