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

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.

AlGore reminds you that at least a Tennessee two by four does have some substance and solidity to it unlike a Kenyan mirage.

Many reactions were strongly critical of Obama. Hugo Chávez, the president of Venezuela, described Obama's speech as "ridiculous"

First time me and Hugo agree.

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."

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

It's not like he had a lot to live up to.

Transcript of Obama's speech...

"As long as the roots are not severed, all is well and all will be well in the garden. In a garden, growth has its season. There is spring and summer, but there is also fall and winter. And then spring and summer again...

There will be growth in the spring."

Now we just need to reign in the morons at the EPA,

It will require a gop majority, as the EPA is governed by statute. It would be necessary imo for Congress to redefine the nature of findings so as to rule out the bullshit finding that CO2 is a hazardous pollutant. This could be done IF the gop has the votes, and IF they have the intelligence to, and IF they have the cojones to act decisively.

As Churchill said on the eve of D-Day: "The terrible IFs" accumulate."

Speak for yourself! There are plenty of guys with huevos/cojones in this country.

Really? Prove it!
We have been talking for nearly a year as one freedom at a time has been taken away and we are forced to pay for it, all courtesy of an ineligible, illegal, usurper to the People's House.

With ObamaDeathcare about to be forced upon us, Crap and Tax, along with unlimited amnesty for lawbreakers waiting in the wings, when do you think it would be a good time to starve the beast, stop the communists and take our country back?
