Senior White House Official: The ‘Chinese Are Dug In’; ‘We’ve Done What We Can’ in Copenhagen

“The Chinese are dug in on transparency and are refusing to let people know they’re living up to their end of the agreement.”
============
Yeah.
Nobody saw that coming.
The Chinese threw a NYT employee in jail a few years ago because he told the paper there was going to be a change in Chinese leadership.
They wouldn’t cooperate with the WHO during SARS.
Transparency just isn’t their thing.

Copenhagen 2 – Obama 0
Smart Power! Meh~

AGW is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the planet’s population.
Even if it were true, would you want Al Gore’s hands on the thermostat for the planet?
The law of untended consequences cannot be ignored.

Good for the Chinese to tell the global warming fools (and ‘the one’ in the WH) to go to hell!

Get the big bus out to throw China under – and they didn’t even bother throwing Dean under–they just ran over him back and forth until he was splattered everywhere–welcome to the land of thuggery, Governor Dean–cool, huh, what you helped wrought?

“We’ve done what we can here,” a senior White House official in Copenhagen, Denmark, tells ABC News. “The Chinese are dug in on transparency and are refusing to let people know they’re living up to their end of the agreement.”
Quite an odd statement regarding Transparancy from an administration that so touted that during the election. For them to be surprised and to even comment on it is laughable. So the O can speak indignent, jut out his jaw and look mean but all know what a joke he is and what is happening in the hallowed halls of our institutions here, what goes around comes around. So it seems that the hot air gases and such are really being emitted from Copehangen, I’ll bet the populace will be quite happy when they are gone.

So it’s the Communists that are saving us from stupid unscientific measures that impose more socialistic control on the USA?
Oh Boy, this is one for the history books

“We’ve done what we can here,” a senior White House official in Copenhagen, Denmark, tells ABC News. “The Chinese are dug in on transparency and are refusing to let people know they’re living up to their end of the agreement.”
Sounds vaguely familiar from this administration. It sounds very muck like, “Its Bush’s fault we can’t get it done.”.

Isn’t amazing that a Communist government with no democratic accountability cares more for the interests of its people than Western democratic governments who will prostitute its own people with non-existent money.
I never thought I’d live the day to be cheering a Communist country!

Obama KNOWS he has NO authority to enter the US into anything there. He can say all he wants to but he is not going to get SQUAT from the American people or congress especially now that we all know the science is worth doodly squat!
Ignore it all you want Obama, but it is all a lie, and we know you and Gore are in the fraud up to your eyeballs. We know you gave he and a lot of others a helluva lot of our tax money as Il Senator to set up the fraud Chicago exchange board along with the escaped criminal electric commissioner from Iraq, and other arabs. Then OF COURSE, they all pumpped hundreds of thousands into your campaign.
It will all come out when we force the investigations, and the trials which will be coming bring it all out.
You and Gore and Soros are done scaring people into giving up their liberty for a criminal LIE!

—When your attempt at recreating the Congress of Vienna with a third-rate cast of extras turns into a shambles, when the data with which you have tried to terrify the world is daily exposed as ever more phoney, when the blatant greed and self-interest of the participants has become obvious to all beholders, when those pesky polar bears just keep increasing and multiplying – what do you do?
No contest: stop issuing three rainforests of press releases every day, change the heading to James Bond-style “Do not distribute” and “leak” a single copy, in the knowledge that human nature is programmed to interest itself in anything it imagines it is not supposed to see, whereas it would bin the same document unread if it were distributed openly.
After that, get some unbiased, neutral observer, such as the executive director of Greenpeace, to say: “This is the single most important piece of paper in the world today.” Unfortunately, the response of all intelligent people will be to fall about laughing; but it was worth a try – everybody loves a tryer – and the climate alarmists are no longer in a position to pick and choose their tactics.
But boy! Was this crass, or what? The apocalyptic document revealing that even if the Western leaders hand over all the climate Danegeld demanded of them, appropriately at the venue of Copenhagen, the earth will still fry on a 3C temperature rise is the latest transparent scare tactic to extort more cash from taxpayers. The danger of this ploy, of course, is that people might say “If we are going to be chargrilled anyway, what is the point of handing over billions – better to get some serious conspicuous consumption in before the ski slopes turn into saunas.”—

Do the believers really believe?

Oh they believe, but they are a bunch of social eliets, posturing for the cameras. Trouble is they believe but they cannot PROVE IT! Our eyes are proving it. We can measure ice on the Arctic too and funny how it does not add up to what was being reported by Gore. We can see snow falling where it has not in 14 years. God has a funny way of getting in the way does he not?

Obama’s message in Copenhagen:
Let’s do something even if it stinks.
Looks like Obama’s plan to save the planet is the same plan he has for Health Care.
Pass anything just to save my legacy.

Didn’t Obama learn anything from his last trip to Copenhagen?
Great job, O-fer!

All of a sudden Obama is worried about the future of our kids/grandkids?
He’s worried about lowering the temperature 2degress over the next decade but not sticking them with massive debt?

Well the rest of the world should work that much harder if the US, China and India won’t do their part.
And those that believe in AGW must redouble their efforts too.
Quit driving those cars. Only one child. No meat. No heat, unless it is powered by wind. No TV, No Computer, No Cellphones (don’t get me started on electronic pollution) Eat only the food you grow. No plastics. Only natural detergents. Only natural fibers for clothing.
AGW believers, lead the way, we will follow soon.

From Greenpeace:
“President Obama crossed the ocean to tell the world he has nothing new to offer, take it or leave it. He now risks being branded as the man who killed Copenhagen.”
Hey if Obama had not presented himself as the guy who could solve all the world’s problems, if the media had not hyped him as a Messiah–maybe he wouldn’t get the blame.
Arrogance, narcissism, hubris–now it’s all coming back to bite him.

The motive of the legislation being pursued now is not being pursued for altruistic objectives, but rather for the profit of corporations, the empowerment of whom in this decade is growing exponentially. Promoters of this need to step back and think about who they are empowering by pushing this, in their unquestioning allegiance to a seemingly innocent and laudable objective of helping the planet, the common man, and consider the concrete and calculable collateral damage to our individual freedoms .

The “time for talk” is never over for Obama. It’s all he knows how to do. Everyone is tired of hearing his talk. He is such an embarrassment.

Barack Obama, June 2008:
“Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; THIS WAS THE MOMENT WHEN THE RISE OF THE OCEANS BEGAN TO SLOW AND OUR PLANET BEGAN TO HEAL; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.”
Obama in Excelsis Deo!

“Iranian forces take over Iraq oil well …”
Posted by: Terry | Dec 18, 2009 11:34:35 AM
…and Obama will be nowhere near as tough on Iran as he has been on Israel and his domestic political opponents.

I have a powerful computerized climate model that I have been “tweeking” for the last few years. It is proving to remarkably accurate. It shows that the cyclical warming period is ending and that global temperatures will continue to decrease over the next century. As this occurs, arable land will decrease dramatically leading to famine on a terrible scale. In addition, there will be resource wars for remaining fossil fuel deposits.
Of course it’s lie, but so is AWG.

Glass jaw meet clenched fist.
Obama should go back to Oprah where he belongs and leave politics to grownups. He could have a nice little show about decorating, or fashion. Yeah, that would be real nice…

Thank you, China and India!

Apparently ABC is also hot on the trail of the Palin visor controversy – with video and everything. Excellent work ABC!
Any video of China and India delegations walking out of the Copenhagen summit?

Another Obama success in international politics – bringing Indian and China closer together. All hail.

Thank you, China and India, for walking out — and Russia, for releasing the info about the cherry picking of Russian temperature stations. The greedy Left overreached, and this fiasco is hopefully over for this generation.

Obama came to Copenhagen to “…act, not talk…” and all he did was talk, as usual. His hope to be President of the World is sinking faster than his approval ratings as President of the United States. It’s obviously time to crank up the teleprompter and make some more speeches.

Phony President – Phony Crisis.
Who many of these criminals will be in jail within 5 years for this hoax?
Albert Gore needs to be one in particular who get a dose of jail time for the billions he conned out of gullible leftist fools.

‘Obama was put into power to hide the crimes of Bush and the financial giants that bled our country dry.’
No doubt Geithner is stopping such things by O!

For the first time in my life, I am proud of China!

obama is the Rodney Dangerfield of American Presidents.
He gets no respect.
LMBO!

Do you really think the MSM will report Chavez’s comments about Obama smelling like sulfur?
They loved it when Chavez said that about Bush–showed it over and over again.
Here’s what the MSM will say about Obama’s trip to Copenhagen.
Obama had strong words for those not
willing to cooperate with his plan to save the planet.
The MSM will blame China for Obama’s failure in Copenhagen.
They’ll gush about his speech and never mention sulfur.

The world doesn’t want more American money or a promise that’s only good until the next administration. What the world wants is something useful. The new jobs need to be in technology that the world needs to make poverty and ignorance obsolete. We don’t want the ill effects of fossil fuels so pass laws that get viable product patents off the shelves of those that lock them away from the public domain. There were wind-up toys before the small batteries came along. I can even come up with a low maintenance generator for domestic use that is a hybrid of Solar, compressed air, springs, electric generator, and storage cells. There can even be solar powered pumps to compress air for electric generators to run cars. Our energy does not need to be beholding to corporate energy suppliers or governments that manipulates humanity through deprivation. The industrial revolution is over! The communication revolutions is nearly over; energy needs are limiting its completion. Now we need to get the energy revolution in full tilt.

“Not really. 52% of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing”
Nice try, tierra. Here is the reality:
12/7/09
PRINCETON, NJ — Barack Obama’s presidential job approval rating is 47% in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update, a new low for his administration to date. His approval rating has been below 50% for much of the time since mid-November, but briefly rose to 52% last week after he announced his new Afghanistan policy.
==============================
Obama is poised to end his first year in office with ratings lower than any other recent president at end of first year. Yeah, we’re real impressed with the guy.

seems like such a short time ago when the Dixie Chicks and Michael Moore were vilified for opposing republican policy…..
as opposed to today, the nutty and crazy right wingers, tea partiers, all foaming at the mouth at such critical issues like whether Mrs Obama wears long sleeves….

Try to keep up tjp612.
It’s not 12/7/09, it’s 12/18/09 and Gallup has Obama’s approval rating at 52%. You can access Gallup’s page on the internet.
Reagan sank to 35% during his first term and was re-elected. Historical perspective.

As I read some of the comments (things about phonies, and other nonsense) I’m reminded of a very intriguing piece I read recently by Julian Sanchez called The Politics of Ressentiment:
“Ressentiment is a sense of resentment and hostility directed at that which one identifies as the cause of one’s frustration, an assignation of blame for one’s frustration. The sense of weakness or inferiority and perhaps jealousy in the face of the “cause” generates a rejecting/justifying value system, or morality, which attacks or denies the perceived source of one’s frustration. The ego creates an enemy in order to insulate itself from culpability.”
Sanchez says a lot, but ultimately he says,”this is a doomed project…It effectively says: We cede to the bogeyman cultural elites the power of stereotypical definition, so becoming the stereotype more fully and grotesquely is our only means of empowerment.”
In this environment, I’ve noticed, things like sheer guts and gut feelings– even if dead wrong– are elevated over a brain and a heart, nuance and civility– as long as one doesn’t blink when following that gut feeling.

Cling to your “52%” today, tierra. He’ll be back below 50% before the end of the year. Count on it!
Obama’s fall in approval ratings this year has been nothing short of spectacular.

Cling to your “52%” today, tierra.
___________________________________
I wasn’t ‘clinging’ to today’s Gallup poll, I was merely pointing out the 52% approval rating for Obama.
You on the other hand were ‘clinging’ to an old 47% rating.

Yeah, you’re right, the public really digs this hard-left re-distributionalist…
_____________________________________
CNN’s poll of polls has the President at a solid 50%.
And you right wing Republicans will have to make up your minds – is Obama pandering to Wall Street, the big banks, and sold out to Big Pharma OR is he a ‘hard left re-distributionist’?
The right wing Republicans seem so confused and muddled in their arguments on here.
Your big mistake is attacking the President for ‘everything’ he does – it makes your arguments very easy to see through.

“Your big mistake is attacking the President for ‘everything’ he does – it makes your arguments very easy to see through.”
Actually, this is not true. But Obama offers no shortage of positions, lies, actions, and broken promises (remember all the transparency we were promised?) that it just SEEMS we attack ‘everything’ he does!

I don’t mind the president making private deals with some countries. I don’t even mind having the Secretary of state commit $100 billion dollars, that nobody has, to pay off the dictators and terrorists (including north Korea, Iran, Iraq Cuba etc.) What I do object to is having the Secratary of state for the United States commit $100 billion dollars from the “developed countries” with the arrogant attitude that now Canada MUST contribute our share. I consider the United States as a great neighbor but this is way over the top. Hillary does not speak for us nor does she have the right to dip into the Canadian treasury.

sorry about typos…working two jobs, and am tired….

How ironic that half the posts in here just disappeared. It’s no wonder ABC’s ratings continue their downward spiral, maybe they are linked to Barry’s support.
