Way to go, President Obama! Thanks to your bold and forward-thinking policies, the Doomsday Clock has been moved back by one minute! That means Planet Earth is “one minute” further away from utter destruction! Well, destruction brought about by man himself; an asteroid can still smash into the planet and we’d all be doomed. Or, as we’ve seen in Haiti this week, some other cataclysm can strike and we’d have zero control over it.
The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, and was designed to measure how close mankind was to destroying itself. We’ve been five minutes away from midnight (“adios time”) since 2007.
But the clock has been moved back because of the “hopeful state of world affairs,” affairs that have partially materialized because of the policies of President Obama. What policies? For creating “a change in the U.S. government toward international affairs.”
Basically, the U.S. doesn’t throw its weight around anymore and expect people to go with the flow.
I feel safer~!
