I’d forgotten that. You are correct, that’s all the authority he needs now.

I expect his approval ratings to go up after the unprecedented breakthrough in Copenhagen, and the progress made in signing an unprecedented Healthcare bill.

I think you’re right on that one. I’d bet Maurice Strong whom is hold up in the PRC is probably advising the ChiComs in that direction.

...in the end the Clinton administration didn't even submit it for a vote in the upper chamber. This made the US both the world's biggest polluter and, ultimately, the only industrialized nation to reject the accord.

Do they just make this $h!t up out of whole cloth?? [facepalm] Where to start? First, the US is NOT the world's biggest polluter, especially if you look at pollution efficiency, i.e. how many pounds of pollutants are emitted for each car built, each bushel of corn harvested, etc. Second, I believe there were numerous other industrialized nations that didn't sign. Lastly, how did the Senate's refusal to get mugged by signing Kyoto "make the US the world's largest polluter"??? Did them not signing something somehow cause more smoke to come out the top of all the smokestacks?? Or are these idjits saying that by NOT reducing CO2 when the others did, the US became the biggest polluter, cause even that would be a lie. Nobody else reduced emissions one bit.

The headline questions is a stupid one.

Of course Obama can sign a treaty without congress...nearly every American president has done so.

It's the 2/3 Senate majority required for ratification that sometimes proves problematic.

When a democrat states a doubt as to their success, you can bet they have already realized how to accomplish their illicit deed without we the people consent.

Exactly.

This point has been made numerous times. This point is very clear.

They are calling it an agreement and not a treaty.

It depends on what the definition of is, is and ‘treaty’ versus ‘agreement’ isl if you catch my drift.

They continue to ignore and trash our emails, etc. And the Rats are confident the Republicans are too reserved to even think of civil disobedience.

WE need to change the game.

BHO called climate reform a "revolution" today on the tail end of his health care reform speech.

WHO IS BARACK OBAMA REPRESENTING? I WANT THEIR NAMES. He's not representing the American people!

Barack Obama is a revolutionary and at this point, we are living in a dictatorship.

Democrats suck for bringing this nation to ruination.
