See what I mean?

Obama raced clock, chaos, comedy for climate deal

By CHARLES BABINGTON and JENNIFER LOVEN (AP) – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON — It was almost unthinkable. The president of the United States walked into a meeting of fellow world leaders and there wasn’t a chair for him, a sure sign he was not expected, maybe not even wanted.

Barack Obama didn’t pause, however. “I’m going to sit by my friend Lula,” he said, moving toward Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

A Brazilian aide gave the U.S. president his chair, and Obama spent the next 80 minutes helping craft new requirements for disclosing efforts to fight global warming. Along with India, South Africa and Brazil, the key member in the room was China, which recently surpassed the U.S. as the world’s top emitter of heat-trapping gasses.

At the table this time for China was Premier Wen Jiabao, not an underling as before. Obama was bent on striking a deal before flying home to snowbound Washington.

He would later hail the achievement as a breakthrough. But even Obama said there was much more to do, and climate authorities called Copenhagen’s results a modest step in the global bid to curb greenhouse gasses that threaten to melt glaciers and flood coastlines.

He wasn’t invited. He wasn’t welcome. He wasn’t missed.

That he crashed the meeting is obvious.

In a way that’s probably a good thing. Who knows what might have been accomplished without his input.

"His friend, Lula..."

His friend has been a lot friendlier toward Iran lately than the United States.

LOL! Associated Propagandists were part & parcel in the creation of this con-man. Looks like they'll go home with the deceiver they brought to the dance of deceivers.

I don't get it?

Why wouldn't they want him?

Did they think he doesn't like schemes for raising taxes?

Did they think he doesn't like big schemes for raising big taxes in a big way?

Did they think he isn't leftist enough?

Did they think he doesn't have enough leftist friends?

I don't get it.

A bunch of crazy leftist meet to come up with a big scheme to raise big taxes in a big way and they don't invite Crazy Leftist Big Taxer Barak Obama. Why not?

The CBO is fast catching up with the AP as Obama’s first enabler.

Probably trying to hustle an invitation to the 2016 Olympic games.

Point well taken. The LSN will handle it. Which is why we're going to have to get our news elsewhere.
