isPermaLink="false">http://www.ihatethemedia.com/?p=17146#comment-6944</guid> <description>Your blind defense of Obama&#039;s indefensible statement is laughable.As lifelong residents of California, we hardly know where to begin with your misconceptions about the state&#039;s weather. Let&#039;s start from the bottom of your comment and work our way up.&quot;In the north, they get cold winters, similar to Kansas or Kentucky.&quot; While that may be true, it&#039;s immaterial. Fact is, almost no one lives in those regions of California, so they have virtually no impact on the state&#039;s energy consumption.&quot;In the south, it quickly becomes a desert, with temperatures well over 110 degrees.&quot;  Again, few people live in areas of the state that have those temperatures. The only significant market in those desert areas is Palm Springs, which has a population of just 350,000. That&#039;s only 1% of the state&#039;s population, so it&#039;s doubtful that they are sucking up too much energy. And the winters in the low desert are sunny and pleasant.&quot;The temperature of California is only temperate withing (sic) a dozen miles from the coast.&quot; Are you insane? California is famous for having the most beautiful weather in the country. Maybe the world. People have been flocking here for the weather for a hundred years. Have you ever watched the Rose Bowl game on New Year&#039;s Day? It&#039;s always 70 degrees with crystal clear air. I grew up in inland California (75 miles from the coast) where the weather is almost uniformly fabulous. Sure, there are a few hot days in the summer, but no hotter than lots of other areas of the country. But the vast majority of the state has no snow in the winter and pretty mild temperatures all summer long.In summary, you don&#039;t have a clue what you&#039;re talking about.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like or Dislike: <img
