Obama: More Climate Lies

Today our dear reader -- Responding to a question, the President declared:
I want to just be clear that the science of climate change doesn't mean that every place is getting warmer…But...Vancouver, which is supposed to be getting snow during the Olympics, suddenly is at 55 degrees.
But the problem was explained in 2003, after winning the winter games, by none other than Vancouver's Newspaper:
Winter Olympics all wet?:

Vancouver has the mildest climate of any Winter Games venue

By Chad Skelton, Vancouver Sun

When Vancouver plays host to the Olympic Games six-and-a-half years from now, it will mark a peculiar milestone -- as the least wintery city ever to host the Winter Games.

Statistics compiled by The Vancouver Sun indicate that no city with a climate as mild as Vancouver's has ever hosted the Winter Games.

Past Olympics have been held in picturesque, snowy towns full of residents bundled up in ski gear.
I wonder if Obama knew he was lying, or was it just another in his long list of shuck and jive off the cuff boners.
