President Obama exhibited the kind of concern for reducing emissions that can only come from a leader who took a 747 all the way across the country just to headline some fundraisers and tape an interview with Ellen.
At a high-dollar fundraiser at the home of a super-wealthy Dem donor with “clean tech” interests and “climate change” concerns, Obama told the attendees not to worry that the Supreme Court has halted implementation of emission regs in his Clean Power Plan:
Fundraising at @SteveWestly home, @POTUS says "Don't despair" over SCOTUS/clean power. Confident "we’re on strong legal footing here."

It was Pres Obama's first public comment on Tuesday's SCOTUS action. He stresses that the stay is temporary & that plan was not struck down.

In other words, Obama’s telling rich Dem supporters what he promised them he’d do might be a little unconstitutional but not to worry!
@markknoller To a democrat "struck down by the Supreme Court " spins into "all is well"…

Did any of the Dem donors who are so concerned about climate change ask Obama what the carbon footprint of this motorcade is as he departed the fundraiser?
