Barack Obama's speech disappoints and fuels frustration at Copenhagen (ROFL!)
The Guardian ^ | 12/18/2009 | Suzanne Goldenberg and Allegra Stratton

Posted on 12/18/2009 7:12:36 AM PST by PreciousLiberty

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.

Obama, who had been skittish about coming to Copenhagen at all unless it could be cast as a foreign policy success, looked visibly frustrated as he appeared before world leaders.

Looks like 0, Mr. "B+" himself, has things "all wee-wee'd up" once again! I doubt Copenhagen is top on his list of vacation destinations...

Now we just need to reign in the morons at the EPA, and we should be in good shape on non-existent global warming at least.

Come on, 2010 midterms!

This can’t be true. He has a ‘gift’, you know.

This idiot is an embarrassment to all Americans.

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, “an empty limousine pulled up outside of the Copenhagen Summit, and Barack Hussein 0bama got out.”

Hey— I thought we were supposed to use _actual_ titles when posting. I seriously doubt (ROFL!) was part of the Guardian’s title. ;-)

LOL...

Visibly frustrated. Glad someone is noticing...

I’m not really sure what to think about -19bowma’s speech at COP15. I’ll just have to wait until I hear what China and India think...

President Whats-his-face thinks that by flying there, stepping in and saving the moment will actually make a difference. What a pathetic sight.

Get the heck home, you moron. You embarrass us all.

My only question is if India and China walked out before, during, or after the speech.

Here’s how we should “boldly and decisively” deal with the climate change issue:

NO!

Maybe the Dems can schedule their 2012 Convention in Copenhagen since Bambi has such success there . . .

Awwww...Looks like Bambi’s handlers forgot to bring along the Greek columns and reverb machine. Otherwise, the entire earth would’ve moved in rapture at the 0ne.

You don't think he should come back to the US? Or are you thinking he should be dropped off his home, and then the AF1 aircraft come back to the US empty?

I listened to the Idiot in Chief.
Talk about a complete fool.
He totally ignored the fact that the data is false.

Just made the statement that GW/CC is a FACT.
Zero is certifiable.

What was the context of “all wee wee’d up”?

The last paragraph of the article summed up the agenda quite accurately I thought:

“The extent of crisis in the talks has taken leaders by surprise. The Brazilian leader, Lula da Silva, told the conference that the all-night negotiating sessions took him back to his days as a trade union leader negotiating with his bosses.”

Lol!

So Nobama flies a 747 (and attendant planes) and his large entourage there to give a screwed-up few minute speech that makes no difference (other than to further embarrass the United States) to a conference of eco-maniacs and kleptocrats. What’s this moron’s “carbon footprint”? What about “the children”, you freak? I believe the only scintilla of sanity in the Nobama family is “Bo”. The problem they are probably doing unmentionables with him in some way. So sad. Free Bo!

All I heard was him saying something about being held captive or hostage by our fault lines and I rolled my eyes and turned the channel.

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".

Yes, it is a joke.

But Hugo and I view the punchline differently.
