WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday formally notified the United Nations that it has embraced the Copenhagen Accord setting nonbinding goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that was negotiated last month.
Todd Stern, the top U.S. climate negotiator for the Obama administration, also gave notice that, as expected, it will aim for a 17 percent reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming by 2020, with 2005 as the base year.

OKAY...I’m changing my tagline
This guy is the biggest dumbass I have ever seen. A Presidential suicide mission.

“embracing”, eh...
Brings to mind the lyrics made famous by Steppenwolf:
“Take the world in a love embrace”
global warming ping
Question — if the U.S. Senate does not ratify a treaty with CO2 restrictions, does Obama’s action have any legal standing?
Has “embracing” a dumb international treaty replaced the Senate having to vote on it?
Next, will Nancy and Harry “embrace” Obamacare?
Gee, ya think zerO knew last night this was planned? Along with increasing the debt ceiling by almost 2 TRILLION?
Todd Stern, the top U.S. climate negotiator for the Obama administration, also gave notice that the United States will immediately begin a program to inject those who are not on board with the hoax with the AIDS virus.
this idiots numbers are going to be in their 30’s soon and lower than Bush.
He is intent on destroying the Dem party
I am convinced he will not run in 2012 as he knows he will not win at all, his sole purpose is to destroy this country, it has to be as there is no way anyone can be this stupid
homo’s open in the military, still wants his Govt take over and cap and tax, he’s selling us out to the UN.

Gotta love it!
And we will aim for another 17% reduction in the Whining Presidents poll numbers by 2012
0bama’s administration makes me feel like i’m in a love embrace....in prison
I think that he can issue executive orders to the EPA to do certain things, but what the limit on that would be is anyone’s guess. The next administration could revoke any of his silly ass orders.
A senate ratified treaty would be very bad news.
Thass why he increased the EPA budget by 35% after he took office, and put a stupid but radical ideologue, Lisa Jackson, in charge as EPA administrator.
Watch for lots more EPA “regulations”, regulatory “fees” and WH executive orders, a series of edicts will replace Congress having to vote on Cap’n tax.
(in pirate voice) “Well, they’re really whatcha might call GUIDElines, actually...”
Argh.

In the end, it really doesn't matter.
The Messiah and the communist bunch of Czars are ruling the country now. The EPA will put the rules out, as they have already "declared" CO2 to be a hazard. Their regulations don't need Congressional approval, and neither does any other Czar's order.
You need to put an “s” in the wattsupwiththat link.
He’ll use the EPA.
