Senior White House Official: The 'Chinese Are Dug In'; 'We've Done What We Can' in Copenhagen
ABC News ^ | December 18, 2009 | By Jake Tapper

Posted on 12/18/2009 7:46:42 AM PST by MaestroLC

"We've done what we can here," a senior White House official in Copenhagen, Denmark, tells ABC News. "The Chinese are dug in on transparency and are refusing to let people know they're living up to their end of the agreement."

After landing in Denmark early this morning, President Obama met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during a bilateral at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to press the case that China needs to allow for transparency.

"The President's priority is to make our economy far more focused on a clean energy economy that creates jobs," the official said. "He is here to work constructively and participate in hoping to get an international accord. But not getting one here won't change wanting to transform our economy to create the new foundation he's talked about."

Good riddance. This whole thing was a flat-out lie from the very beginning.

Obama isn't feared by any one. He's the Emperor Without Clothes. There's no agreement in Copenhagen and there will be no cap and trade legislation coming out of Congress next spring. Voters are fed up with more taxes and regulations.

The most unbelievable part of the entire charade is that we were going to 'give' China 100 Billion dollars to 'comply' that we'd first have to borrow from China.

No one fears Obama. No one fears America.

Thanks a lot Mr. O. You’re turning the US into a corrupt and stupid third world nation.

“Yes we can!” Yeah, you did.

“to press the case that China needs to allow for transparency.”

Do as I say, not as I do. We all know how transparent Obama’s Presidency has been, right?

Thank God! Do the American people realize how utterly INSANE Obama is to even consider giving China money????

Yeah they are developing alright. Like gangbusters. Massive cities, factories, technology (much of which they steal).

All this and a commie dictatorship and expanding military aimed at US!

Why would we even consider giving them a penny???

If they have a damn smokestack tell them to take the billions we spend on their cheap slave labor crap, and clean it up themselves.

Just incredible.

The most secretive Administration and Congress in history are lecturing to others about "transparency." Frickin' hilarious!

This highlights Obama’s leftist idiocy. We pollute and we are evil. China pollutes and they are poor victims who deserve our money because we have too much.

Obama should stay in Copenhagen with the other fools.

The Messiah has been effectively told to take his marbles, leave the playground, and go back home on the short bus.

What a complete embarassment.
