Obama Has A Charlie Brown Christmas In Dopenhagen

Look out, our speak harshly but carry a small, or no stick prez was angry and on display in Copenhagen as Obama chalked up another allegedly rousing, world-changing speech that wasn't. Note, that is precisely how the WH allowed his appearance to be billed. I posted that he was only inviting failure back on Dec 4.  Sure enough, China played Lucy to his Charlie Brown and moved the ball, causing Obama to land on his backside, empty-handed after a tactic that could become the defining theme of his term.

What's Obambi going to do? Hold his breath, or just talk until he turns blue if he doesn't get his way? Maybe he'll threaten to give even more dramatic speeches that add up to the same old thing if they don't listen to him?

COPENHAGEN — A visibly angry Barack Obama threw down the gauntlet at China and other developing nations Friday, declaring that the time has come "not to talk but to act" on climate change.

Stomping his feet is out. Michelle won't tolerate it around the kids, from him, anyway. You dropped your gauntlet, Obambi. Best pick it up and put it back in your pocket before boarding the plane home from your latest failed game changer that wasn't of a speech. He has the Chinese so afraid, they actually boycotted the meeting beforehand. I don't believe it was out of weakness in their case.

Emerging from a multinational meeting boycotted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Obama warned delegates that U.S. offers of funding for poor nations would remain on the table “if and only if” developing nations, including China, agreed to international monitoring of their greenhouse gas emissions.

Obama met one-on-one with Wen after wards. Move along, folks. No world changing announcement to see here, just the usual political spin.

A White House official called the discussion between Obama and Wen "constructive" and said that the two men touched on the monitoring issue, as well as how to elicit commitments from all key countries to cut emissions and how to establish financing from richer nations to help poorer ones cope with global warming.

"They took a step forward and made progress," the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told reporters. The official said Obama and Wen then instructed their negotiating teams to continue talking after the session, "to see if an agreement can be reached."

I watched the morning speech from Copenhagen and I may be the only on who thinks it, but did it seem that he was just going though the motions. I've seen this before, after a hearty party, you just could care less about the rest of the day.

Now go away, or I will taunt you another time.

Our Marxist-Mooslim Kenyan in Chief is sinking like a stone. How low can he go! This is too funny!

Hey limp-wrists (aka, libs).... you better get used to saying "Madame President" in three years.

This country needs a strong, active, plain spoken (non-acamedician/lawyer-speak) women in charge, who's not a wimp like Barry. Someone who puts the USA first - not the "planet". Free enterprise, not government sponsored "economic development" (aka, socialism), limited goverment, srong armed forces, individual liberty - not the collective in Barry's school books.

Go Sarah Go!

Our Divine Obamacus sits there with his chin elevated, looking like an unapproachable King Of Persia, as the rest of the world laughs and mocks him behind his back. What a Maroon.
