Doesn’t the Senate still have to ratify treaties?
Yes, but he will probably go for some kind of ‘accord’ or the like. Ultimately unenforceable.
Yes the senate does and it has to be 2/3rds to pass, I believe. I wonder if he is doing this outside of a treaty, like an executive order? If so, congress can nullify any executive order and has done so in the past.
In any case, China is by far the biggest CO2 producer and polluter so if the greenies want to make a huge impact, they should bring manufacturing back to the USA! We have better environmental controls so bring it back!
So we as Republicans are meanwhile, busy beating down Obama on this topic, by demanding a return of American jobs.
Right?
(silence)
Some plates actually go up in value, not these.
Wanting Desperately to Matter
Wow, what a great line to describe most all libs, lefties and progs.
So Americans will spend this weekend freezing and shoveling snow, then turn on their TVs to watch Obama extolling the glories of his signing a stop-global-warming treaty when warming is the most desirable thing they can think of.
yeah....fodder for the tree huggers to make them feel better and something he can tout as ‘meaningful’ - but ultimately impotent.
You anti-Free Trade Luddite! < /sarc >
Last evening at a group dinner I was chatting with a supposedly conservative GOP insider. The conversation morphed into the GOP reaction to his majesty’s green house gas accord with the chicoms. He said he could not believe the gop’s position has been to simply say we have no interest in this and will oppose it rather than looking at it as perhaps being good for the country even if brought up by Obola. I asked you mean an aggrement we cut emissions while the chicoms don’t do anything for over 15 years? He changed the subject. This is what we are dealing with now, brain dead people of influence.
I had dinner with a dear friend last night. She was born in Amsterdam, came to this country as a teen, has always called herself a liberal. Naturalized US citizen. Voted for Obama in 2008, won’t say as to 2012. Very respectful of my views, knows I’m a conservative. Now in her late 40’s, it seems to me she’s beginning to come around.
At any rate, it seems that Obama’s policies, and the dire results, never bothered her. As of last month she still thought Obamacare was a good thing, even though her own premiums went up 80%, and her deductible doubled. She felt she was “doing her part” to help others. She’s a lawyer, child advocate.
Obama’s reaction to 2014 election, however, is really bothering her. She understands democracy, and realizes a message was sent by the people. She told me his arrogance is really pissing her off. She admitted freely that Obama is embarrassing her, and that as the returns came in she was embarrassed for him, but in the days following she’s become embarrassed by him.
I think this is very important, the fact that liberals (those not in office) may be ashamed of him. The war for the American voter’s mind will be fought on the battlefield of emotions like this, not reason or logic. Just my two cents.
Sadly true. A society raised on government union schools, entitlements, PBS and feminist/queer activism is now at the polls.
Obamacare forced in just before that.
Since then what besides CIC blunders?
The American President promises to shut down the American Economy to make the Chinese feel good.
This whole thing is a sham. He used this to push his own domestic policy. He doesn’t care what the Chinese do. It had nothing to do with the Chinese.
He wants to be secretary general of the UN.
