made sure there is no doubt about his character and
complete, total lack of ability to unify the GW addicts
gathered in Copenhagen. The fact that the Guardian,
the most liberal, leftarded paper in the UK sums it up
well, and not for Obama. One Indian paper had this to
say about Obama: "Tensions prevailed at the climate talks
at Copenhagen today, as Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh
and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along
with their respective delegations, as talks failed."
As talks failed, just like almost everything else Obama has
touched, has crumbled like a termite ridden wooden house.
They announced a deal had been reached but it is non-binding
and a joke. Just like the entire religion that the golbal warming
crisis has become.
Does it feel like it is getting warmer?

Barack Obama came, he spoke, and no one concurred:
India and China have taken a united stand and walked out of the climate summit as Copenhagen talks fail.
Tensions prevailed at the climate talks at Copenhagen today, as Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along with their respective delegations, as talks failed.
Obama feted Singh just this month, saying that they should be impressed that India got first crack at Obama’s state dinner agenda. Apparently, Singh was less impressed than Obama presumed.
Meanwhile, Obama is getting some pretty bad reviews for his intervention in Copenhagen … from his once-adoring admirers. Since this comes from the Left’s major newspaper in the UK, where political biases are openly acknowledged in the media, this may seem like good news for those worried that Barack Obama would give away the store in Copenhagen. We needn’t have worried; Obama turned out to be just as effective on the world stage as he has been in finding compromises here at home. The Right has no illusions about Obama, but the disillusionment from the Left is rather amusing:
Barack Obama stepped into the chaotic final hours of the Copenhagen summit today saying he was convinced the world could act “boldly and decisively” on climate change.
But his speech offered no indication America was ready to embrace bold measures, after world leaders had been working desperately against the clock to try to paper over an agreement to prevent two years of wasted effort — and a 10-day meeting — from ending in total collapse. …
Many reactions were strongly critical of Obama. Hugo Chávez, the president of Venezuela, described Obama’s speech as “ridiculous” and the US’s initial offer of a $10bn fund for poor countries in the draft text as “a joke”.
Tim Jones, a spokesman for the World Development Movement, said: “The president said he came to act, but showed little evidence of doing so. He showed no awareness of the inequality and injustice of climate change. If America has really made its choice, it is a choice that condemns hundreds of millions of people to climate change disaster.”
Friends of the Earth said in a statement, “Obama has deeply disappointed not only those listening to his speech at the UN talks, he has disappointed the whole world.”
The World Wildlife Fund said Obama had let down the international community by failing to commit to pushing for action in Congress: “The only way the world can be sure the US is standing behind its commitments is for the president to clearly state that climate change will be his next top legislative priority.”
