Obama shifts Copenhagen visit to boost deal [Longer version of article with revealing info]
AP ^ | 12/04/09 | BEN FELLER

Posted on 12/05/2009 5:15:51 PM PST by starczar66

Revealing info that most versions of this story omit:

"Obama had said that he would travel to the Copenhagen conference if his appearance would help clinch a deal."

"The White House now says Obama, after talks this week with European leaders, has come up with an "emerging consensus" on how much money - $10 billion a year - polluting rich countries should pay by 2012 to poorer countries, which are more often the victim of global warming."

"Gibbs said the U.S. would pay its "fair share" of the $10 billion amount but did not identify what that was or from where it would come."

From where it would come? Uhh..Gibbs, let me take a guess. The U.S. taxpayer?

Obama sure likes that $10 billion figure. That is the amount of “reinsurance” funds in the health care bill which will be directly funneled to union early retirees.

"“The Worst American President”

TWAP

http://hubpages.com/hub/TWAP-New-Epithet-for-The-One

Some suggestions so far, are “TWittering American President;” possibly TWERP (by someone who can’t spell); “The Warmest American President” (global warming joke); The Warmongering American President”; Thug Warrior American President”; “Tall, Wimpy African Pimp” (via Dr. James Manning, Harlem).

But, I’m sure we can all figure this out, if we put our heads together. It shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe, there’s a special message for the American People in it. “This War Ain’t Pretty” (meaning the upcoming Orange Revolution); “The War Against Poverty” (in remembrance of the multi-million dollar State dinner, extensive continent hopping, etc.); “That World Arrogant Pimp”? You get the idea.

A genuine creep who is bribing EVERYONE, here, there , and everywhere, with OUR money. A genuine creep building monuments to his own ego with OUR money.
A genuine creep AND a demagogue, who , with these bribes, is forcing everyone to see things “his way”.
He MUST be neutralized, mocked, challenged, and shown in no
uncertain terms that there are millions who will resist him and his plans for our souls AND our money.

I'm keeping a running file, always updated, on the Climate Change Swindle:

"Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked –[epic fraud?]"

Click the picture:



And yes, it is a swindle- a fraud and a cheat and a scam-- a deliberately designed construct intended to con you out of things you hold dear-- money, prosperity, freedom... and a few other things, as well.

sushiman, just out of curiosity, what do the people in Asia think of the current American political situation and the direction it is trending?
