— Open Blog The president is in Copenhagen, and is doing his best impression of a bird on the wire. *
I imagine this is the biggest workout his neck has gotten for years.
His message, btw? Skeptics are to be ignored as the science is settled. You all (the conference) are acting stupidly for not having a treaty ready for me to sign. And my favorite:
"I come here today not to talk, but to act."
UPDATE: AmishDude suggests watching it without the sound to get the full comic effect.
* I used the bird on the wire phrase as a bit of a double meaning. But on second thought, I figure most the readers aren't Leonard Cohen fans. (Don't ask, don't know how I got hooked.)
So I think the song lyrics describe Obama's psyche fairly well.

He's back down to his low (44%) in Ras today.
If Cooooopenhoogen fails him again, and ObamaCare dwindles down to free tongue depressors for the poor, how much lower will he go?

That thing he does with his hands - that little pinchy thing. That's how he does it. That's how he gets everyone to do exactly what he wants.
I tried it on my wife. Let me tell ya... Works like a champ. No more trips to the fridge for me. No sirree. Not during the game.
If I need something - fffsssst - out comes the pinchy thing.

Copenhagen has collapsed despite the call of Zero for "bold and decisive action" and an end to the talking. India and China have both packed up and walked out. Since Obozo now has the day free, he's planning to revisit the site of his Olympic bid triumph.

His most peculiar tic is how he speeds up the words, and lowers his tone as he is looking off to the side. Didn't they ever teach him to look ahead?
I see he has another "I went to Copenhagen and all I got is this lousy T-Shirt" to hang in his closet. At least the hookers were free.

Pres. Biden's likely VP would be someone we've never heard of. Most un-polarizing figure imaginable. They'd have to if the Biden/___ ticket were to have a chance in 2012.
Though, in reality, Biden would likely become the second POTUS to not receive his party's nomination for his second term.

If Rahm got tossed, it would be because things are out of Obama's control.
I'm thinking that Congress could end up sending the White House a dead fish wearing ballerina slippers as a sign that Rahm needs to go under the bus, but I seriously doubt that any such thought will originate with Obama himself.
Considering how pissed Pelosi is that the Blue Dog coalition that Rahm recruited is keeping her from ruling the House effectively, I can see her and Reid leaning on Obama to toss him.

(with nose dramatically turned up)
Friends, Socialists, Communists, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Climate Change, not to praise it;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Climate Change ... The noble Monckton
Hath told you Climate Change was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fraud,
And grievously hath Climate Change answered it ...
Here, under leave of Monckton and the rest,
(For the Monckton is an honourable man;
So are skeptics all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Climate ChangeÂ’s funeral ...
It was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Monckton says it was ambitious;
And Monckton is an honourable manÂ….
It hath brought deniers home to the UN,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Climate Change seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Climate Change hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Monckton says it was ambitious;
And Monckton is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the television
I thrice presented Climate Change with legitimacy,
Which was thrice refuted: was this ambition?
Yet Monckton says it was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Monckton spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love Climate Change once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for it?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reasonÂ…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Climate Change,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

The Precedent seems to almost never get the indefinite article correct when he's off TOTUS. "An" doesn't seem to be part of his natural vocabulary. That Indonesian schooling, I would surmise.

A joke, I know, but I gotta stick up for the cokeheads, a little.
There's no way Obama did anywhere near as much as I did, and I speechify just fine. But I wasn't already retarded when I started doing it. I only even got high enough to stutter through sentences a couple times, and I was trying, always. The guy's just a ditz.
TMI: The only lasting side effect is a crazy high tolerance for dental anasthetics. They have to inject a block of novocaine the size of my head into me, and wait forever for it to kick in, just to numb up a tiny sliver of my gums. My dentist is always surprised. I'm not.

It was SOOO funny to the left when that was directed towards Bush. I plan to ask some of them how funny they think it now. Point to Rasmussen.
Also glad to see that for the first time in my memory China and India are acting together, no doubt due to their total disgust with Zero. And the guy who got that first state dinner (complete with misspelled menu, inappropriate menu items, and a huge security screw-up) walked out on Obama.
EPIC FAIL. (I just love typing that.)

Actually, that's a great point. Historically, the Chinese and Indians have hated each other's guts, including fighting a short, nasty little war in the early 60s. Chinese support for Pakistan's nuke program and several border disputes have poisoned their relations for decades.

I watched with the sound off (because his 'nuanced' voice irritates the bag off of me) and it didn't surprise me that he could barely take his eyes off of his notes. For somebody that 'truly believes' in this climate change BS, he hasn't a single clear thought that can be communicated without help from whoever writes his speeches.
And people made fun of Bush for "Nukular".

Obama has gone beyond "phoney",
and soared past merely "wooden",
into the high untrod sanctity of "preening fatuousness",
where niether Gore, not even Edwards, has flown...
and with upthrust chin and feigned thoughtfulness,
reached out his finger, and probed his nose.

The Leonard Cohen reference is very apt for some part, not so much in another (The One has no remorse nor any kind of self-reflection as portrayed in the lyrics). I just wish his song was more known than the Kurt Russell and blondie movie by the same name. I'm a big fan of Cohen and yet my mind immediately went to that damn movie instead of the song.

"I come here today not to talk, but to act."
Maybe I'm being too much of a grammar nazi, but I find it interesting that he uses the simple present tense, rather than the past tense or the past perfect:
"I came here not to ..."
or
"I've come here not to ..."
That is conversational English. "I come" is the language of the Bible, of prophecy, of Jesus. For example, "I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword." (Matthew 10:34), or "These three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none; cut it down" (Luke 13:7).
As I said, perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but President Man-Child does seem to think himself above the plane of us mere mortals.

He just wants to clock in his four years and take his lifetime pension, his lifetime secret service protection (only Bush was denied that) and his book deals, speaking engagements and eventual turn as UN SecGen. Money, power and little work. That's all he really wants. Why can't he have that?
