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."

They just announced on FNC that Obama is staying over a few hours to meet with the Premier of China. He cannot leave empty handed. The only people who will be empty handed will be the American people.

I am not shocked he is staying over to bow to the Chinese and kiss butt. HE HAS TO he put all of his eggs in the hoax called global warming. He already has a copy of the world currency. Global communism is at stake. So he will give them a Monica if he has to.

“Hillary set him up, she made it look like a deal was imminent, got him to come in on his one man showcase finale, then sat and watched it all fall to crap, she’s probably laughing her socks off. Clever girl.”

Never underestimate the Clinton’s. They truly are comeback artists. I think you are exactly correct about the Hildebeast. The same is true for BJ Bill. He set up 0zer0 on the healthcare debate.

No matter if healthcare passes or not, the Clinton’s can spin it to their advantage. BJ Bill told the dems that failing to pass it will be a huge blunder. So if they fail (a big IF), he can say “I told you so” and position the Hildebeast to take advantage of the dumbcrats buyers remorse. If they pass it, he can take credit, (and will) and still be the savior of the dumbcrats.

Game over.

No way. Never underestimate the "Guilt" factor of a liberal Politician... especially one with power. I'll bet the ***hole offers up $250 Billion.

"... Chinese refusing to let people know they're living up to their end of the agreement...."

More likely: Chinese refusing to let people know they're NOT living up to their end of the agreement.

The entire meeting, from its premise to its participants, is a fraud and a lie.

Yet another reason why I've gone from boycotting China to calculating the day China is more free (OK, less oppressive) than the USA.

If McCain were in office, this meeting never would have ben scheduled. No one would be getting worked up over climate change.

” he’s the one who turned up expecting them all to bow before, instead they flipped him the bird.”

Just like the Olympics.

Cats and dogs breeding together
Oprah as President of the US
Angelina Jolie as Secretary General of the UN
Madonna as Prince William’s new wife
Snow feeling warm
Summer being like winter
Hitler rises from the grave and become President of Israel
Clouds become green
The sky becomes yellow
The Chinese become more American (actually happening)
Buttons become zippers

I always had a feeling that it was Hillary who convinced BO that this “health care reform” bidness would succeed this time, knowing damn well it would be a deal breaker for BO and his base.
