He can by calling it something other than a treaty. Bush sealed our commitment to defend Iraq by calling it a letter of agreement. The Democrats in Congress howled but there wasn’t much they could do about it.
Obama said last night that he’s “not sure” he even has to sign this “agreement” they reached. This means that it will not be considered a treaty in any form and in fact will not even be considered a formal executive act; it will just go ahead bureaucratically, and he will enforce it through those means. That was probably the plan all along.
Unreal that all day yesterday we hear how Copenhagen flops,
infighting blah blah blah and Obama is in meetings with China etc...
And in the middle of the night the long legged mack daddy signed (did) something?!
