Another trip to Copenhagen, another failure.
Barack Obama suffered another humiliating episode in Europe after he left the international junk science convention without any meaningful agreement. Not even a brown-nosing headline by the AP can change the fact that this was another epic failure for America’s arrogant leader.
And, the fact that he bowed to another world leader didn’t help his image much either.
The New York Post reported:
President Obama reportedly was reluctant to attend the final day of the UN’s Copenhagen climate-change summit unless it was front-end wired to be a major political success.
But he went anyway, was twice humiliated in public by the Chinese premier and then finally settled for what the White House hailed as a “meaningful agreement.”
Really? A top aide admitted that the deal was basically just “an important first step” that was “not sufficient to combat the threat of climate change.”
Then Obama himself dropped the other shoe: The agreement contains no specific commitments on carbon emissions, only pledges that “will not be legally binding.”
So what the hell was the point?
One would think that Obama had taken a lesson from his last trip to Copenhagen — when he thought his presence alone would win the 2016 Olympic games for Chicago.
That is, that he would have learned that it is a mistake to publicly commit presidential prestige to an outcome that isn’t locked up in advance.
Obviously, not.

Obama raced clock, chaos,
comedy for climate deal
It was almost unthinkable. The president of the United States walked into a meeting of fellow world leaders and there wasn’t a chair for him, a sure sign he was not expected, maybe not even wanted. Barack Obama didn’t pause, however. “I’m going to sit by my friend Lula,” he said, moving toward Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Hope he doesn’t find out what time we are having Christmas dinner.

Somehow, I am sure, that even a non-binding agreement will be enough to create a new tax.

The facts are so obvious; he was “O for everything” on the world stage and simply couldn’t return empty-handed AGAIN. So they threw together something that basically says “we’ll keep working on this problem” and called it a “meaningful agreement”. All a political stunt to keep the fraud in the White House from striking out yet again.
But we know different….and so does the rest of the world.

“That is, that he would have learned that it is a mistake to publicly commit presidential prestige to an outcome that isn’t locked up in advance.”
With Obama as President the office has no prestige. He has given it all away or else thrown it out in the trash.

Shame, shame. He should have listened to Sarah Palin and boycotted the whole farce until they got some honest facts on the climate. That’s why Sarah would make a world class leader and Odumbo is just a big tool.

Obama may be humiliated in Copenhagen, even though he won’t see it that way, but he is still managing to pull everyone’s strings in Washington and getting his way.
If he manages to pull down America, and it seems that he will, the rest will follow.

we may very well have catastrophic climate changes on planet Earth..
however, it can be guaranteed that they will neither be man-made
occurrences, nor deterred by taxing the middle-class into the poor
-house, the poor into their graves, nor the rich-elitists into mega-
monopolies under the auspices of the UN’s New World Order..
aka: Grasshoppers & ants..

You need to see the parody video at the end of this post. Fantastic mockery of the nut-jobs at ‘Earth First’:
