After Iran Deal, Obama to Pivot to Climate Change (GOPe in Retreat)
Politico ^ | 9/11/15 | Michael Crowley

Posted on 09/11/2015 5:02:37 PM PDT by broken_arrow1

Buoyed by the success of his nuclear deal with Iran, President Barack Obama is preparing to move aggressively on other long-delayed priorities, including a major climate change summit this winter and his elusive quest to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

The National Security Council’s directorate of strategic planning has been quietly building an agenda of action items for the closing year of Obama’s presidency, in a White House that sees its work as far from complete, administration officials say.

“We have no intention of resting on our laurels,” said one senior administration official. “We have an ambitious foreign policy agenda that we’ll continue to pursue aggressively throughout the remainder of [the] fourth quarter of the administration.”

Part of that agenda includes striking a calmer post-Iran deal relationship with Israel — including a November visit to the White House by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that officials announced on Friday.

Also high on the to-do list: completing a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal to which Congress gave "fast-track" approval in June; bolstering counter-terrorism partnerships in Asia and Africa; and putting U.S.-China relations on a firmer footing, a project that will include a state visit to Washington by Chinese President Xi Jingping this month.

I have full confidence that the GOP-controlled Congress will be able to stop him in his tracks. /src

Obunghole’s “climate agenda” will not influence the climate one iota, but it will certainly f**k up our economy.

I don't think they are caving; they are on his team and working very hard to make sure Obama gets what he wants with a little GOPe PR histrionics to fool the gullible.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“a state visit to Washington by Chinese President Xi Jingping this month.”

Obama let the Chinese navy build an island in the Chesapeake to make him feel at home...

No, that's been the plan all along.

Now that the Fabians are unmasked, putting the "pedal to the metal", and importing a cleanup crew from Syria to mop up.

Caliph Baraq has made the term “lame duck” obsolete, at least for Democrats.

Sorry FRiend. I too posted this after doing a search that revealed nothing. I guess the server had not caught up with latest posts or something.

Anyway; we simply can’t say how screwed up this Administration is that’s being run by the Arab boy in the WH enough times so I guess it’s ok.

It has simply never been this bad before. We may not even get to see it get better at this rate.

January of 2017 is looking way too far in the future to get this sinking ship righted. Something must be done long before that in my humble opinion.

Too bad we only have eunuchs in top positions in both houses.

It really sucks being an American who cares right now.

God help us all given there is no opposition party in the Congress - exactly the reason the framers created three branches of Government and in 2015 the RAT/GOPE Uniparty is the only game in town. Throw on top of that a SCOTUS packed with liberals and that is running out of control - we are done. Stick a fork in America. Obumbler is not the only person sensing blood in the water - the muzzies also see what has happened.

He’s not even a JV.

Obama is a strong symptom of what ails America. Blaming this idiot should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a counterfeit like Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.

Joseph Goebbels once said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

Welcome to the lie of ‘man-caused global climate change’

The lie has been told so many times, and is such a big lie, that the world has begun to believe it- Goebbels was right-
