"Here it is again: “agreement” not “treaty” so as to circumvent the 67 votes necessary to ratify a “treaty.

I wouln't get too excited about that. They can call it "peanut butter" if they like and it won't make any difference.

The President of the United States cannot commit to binding agreements without the approval of 2/3 of the Senate. He could pass a bill with the same language making it U.S. law and that would be subject to a majority vote in both houses of Congress plus the requirement, presumably, to overcome a Senate filibuster with at least a 60 vote majority. But that's not going to happen. The whole Copenhagen business is, as far as we are concerned, a giant publicity stunt. For the Europeans it's different. They may sign up and start burning their money. That's their problem.

Thank you for the reassurance. I’ll be watching to see what happens. George Soros is heavily invested in both the outcome and in Obama and he damn well expects his investments to reap rich rewards.

With the stroke of a pen and a phone call this phoney POTUS got ACORN back full swing.

Do you really think he does not have his ducks all lined up and his i's all dotted and crossed his T's?

He has RISKED ALL for this. He is not putting our dollar and economy in the toilet and spending like a thieved pimp for nothing.

He is a marxist thug corrupt attorney he will do it and who will say anything or change it?

I wish you were right. I don't think anybody else could get away with any of what he has pulled. But Obama has this as his ticket.
