Hamstrung by Congress, Obama tries to clinch climate pact

WASHINGTON (AP) P_resident Barack Obama is trying to negotiate a legacy-making climate change pact this coming week in Paris with one hand tied behind his back. Congress can't even agree whether global warming is real.

Scientists point to the global agreement, years in the making, as the last, best hope for averting the worst effects of global warming. Obama has spent months prodding other countries to make ambitious carbon-cutting pledges to the agreement, which he hopes will become the framework for countries to tackle the climate issue long beyond the end of his presidency in early 2017.

But Republicans have tried to undermine the president by sowing uncertainty about whether the U.S. will make good on its promises. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other GOP leaders have warned other countries not to trust any deal Obama may strike; other GOP allies are working to nullify Obama's emissions-cutting steps at home.

Just wait till the moment that they realize there is CO2 in beer and sodas. Every time you open one you release CO2 and we can’t have that. No more beer summits.

Obama is a citizen of the world, otherwise known as a transient. A bum.

Obama makes a big show of "leading" on climate change....trouble is nobody's following.

KEEP IN MIND: When the WH ding-a-ling (and his wife) pontificate, their words are translated into mega fund-raisers for their two tax-free foundations (TWO THAT WE KNOW OF).

CASE IN POINT: "Compassionate" money-hungry Michele recently went to the UK talking about "teaching girls." Today she's in fabulously wealthy Quatar w/ Obama's gift of $73 million of our tax dollars to "teach Muslim girls." No wonder she was dancing her fool *** off in the WH recently. Prolly Obama even got some (cough) Executive Action in the bedroom for our $73 million.

=============================================

HERE'S HOW THE CON ARTISTS WORK THE FOUNDATION SCAM---THE CLINTON MO Few months back, little Chelsea frowned and worried about the dwindling elephant herds. BOOM elephants became a fund-raiser for the Clinton Foundation.

GO AHEAD--Have some fun---peruse the Clintons phony fund-raising projects.
