Obama still going to Copenhagen; Update: Blizzard hits Copenhagen
Hot Air ^ | 12:55 pm on December 17, 2009 | Ed Morrissey

With the conference at Copenhagen collapsing and China balking at anything more than a mission statement, some have begun to wonder whether Barack Obama will follow through on his commitment to attend it this weekend.  After all, Obama has already come home from Copenhagen empty-handed once this year.  Would he risk doing it again?  ABC’s Sunlen Miller and Yunji de Nies say yes:

Despite some rumors swirling in Copenhagen that the lack of progress at the ongoing climate change summit will cause President Obama to cancel his attendance tomorrow, the White House says no – the President is still committed to going.

There have been “no changes” to the President’s plans, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters this morning.

Mr. Obama is set to leave this evening for an overnight trip to Copenhagen. He’ll spend the day Friday on the ground in Demark in hopes to negotiate toward a politically non-binding agreement.

Last night Chinese officials on the ground in Copenhagen said they see no possibility of achievement of a concrete operational accord this week, and have balked at the transparency requirements for a possible agreement. The White House said this morning  that the elements of an agreement are there, and hopes China will get on board.

That’s what they’re saying now, but Obama can’t afford to look foolish for at least the third time on his international adventures.  He went to Copenhagen earlier this year to make a personal plea to land the Olympics for Chicago, which wound up in last place in the final selection process.

sometimes you wonder if events like this, or that tornado splitting the cross on the church voting for gay priests is just a big coincidence or if someone has a weather manipulating capabilities.

HE can crank the heat up,
but the rest of us “can’t keep our houses at 70 degrees year round”.

"Obama still going to Copenhagen..."

If we give them another $100 billion, will they just KEEP HIM? It would be well worth it, and a lootttttt cheaper.

I knew "Mr. Grandstand" couldn't stay away from the "Kopenhaahghan Kool-Aid"...they've all had a sip and are dying to get on that stage...at lease we know the stage is level, because the drool is coming out of BOTH sides of their mouths.

Whereever there is an audience, a camera, and a teleprompter....obama will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are they kidding? The point isn't to accomplish anything. The point is for The Messiah to dazzle over 100 world leaders with his brilliance.

Doesn't matter that once again he'll look like an obsequious fool who didn't accomplish anything. Doesn't matter that once again he'll give a speech that no on can remember anything about. All that matters is worshiping The One.

Just found this thread...I'm not keeping up.

Now the Russians confirm that UK climate scientists manipulated data to exaggerate global warming

<< Psalm 2 >>
American King James Version
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
