Video: Planet-saving president announces, um, non-binding working agreement
posted at 6:28 pm on December 18, 2009 by Allahpundit
It’s too bad that He Is Who Is will take the brunt of international criticism for the conference’s failure instead of the Chinese, but messianism is a double-edged sword, isn’t it? The world’s leftists were counting on him to blow through global gridlock with a concentrated burst of pure, sweet Hopenchange charisma, which was always moronic and impossible but comforting insofar as it offered an easy solution to an intractable problem. Now, a year later, they’ve got a “feeble climate deal” to show for it and the claws are out. It’d all be horribly unfair to The One if not for the minor fact that he pushed his savior crap to the hilt during the campaign, from his One World speech in Berlin to his infamous promise at the convention that people would look back one day and say “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” Watch below and see what “the moment” has come to. The fact that Obama crashing a meeting is the big dramatic takeaway from the conference is all you need to know about how “meaningful” it was.
Speaking of guys who are deluded about their own capabilities, John Kerry insists that cap-and-trade is all but a done deal next year. Uh huh.

Wimp.
LASue on December 18, 2009 at 6:36 PM
When he said he was going to make people like us again, I did not think he meant as comic relief for everyone else. He accomplished nothing but ridiculing the United States again. There was never going to be a big binding agreement come out of this, even without climategate.
bluemarlin on December 18, 2009 at 6:36 PM
He spent 2 minutes saying absolutely nothing, and doing it very poorly without TOTUS.
tatersalad on December 18, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Ed’s “Incomplete” grade from Monday still stands.
Mom, Dad and FM Davis aren’t going to be happy with this report card, but the AA adjustment will hide the decline.

Non-binding equals non-meaningful.

Once again the messiah wannabe has been downgraded… This time he went from Odumbsh*t to Odoodoohead. Soon, he’ll be less than Zero, and (totally worthless) all pee-peed up.
RalphyBoy on December 18, 2009 at 6:39 PM
Watch the video. It’s hilarious when he gets to the word “unprecedented.” He stops for a click, cranes his neck, and then plunges ahead. You can almost read his mind: “Oh shit, I told them to stop plugging that word into every single speech, but I’m not smart enough to ad lib anything different, so here goes…”
Cicero43 on December 18, 2009 at 6:39 PM

It all so MEANINGFUL and UNPRECEDENTED that Michelle is almost proud of her country again.

Got me too
bluemarlin on December 18, 2009 at 6:42 PM
The dismal dunce returns home again… empty handed.
This time with a “meaningful” agreement that’s not only non-binding but won’t be signed by any of the presidents or premiers or their designates.
As the world laughs big.
TXUS on December 18, 2009 at 6:42 PM
I saw some disappointed European fans of “The Chosen One” on TV. They thought his visit would change everything “for the good”. Hilarious! They’re slowly losing their faith in the Obamessiah.

I’m inclined to agree. A B plus an S describes Obama’s speeches pretty well.

Well, so that’s that. After saving the world, what is next on his agenda? Date Night! Toasting Rushnuts over an open fire!

This dialog sounds like something a delusional 7 year old would say when describing how he sat at the ‘bully’ table in the cafeteria:
AUINSC on December 18, 2009 at 6:45 PM
He looks haggard. He’s lost without a teleprompter. His star power gets him nowhere in negotiations with other leaders. None of this is as he though it would be. I predict a nervous breakdown by the end of 2010.
Mark1971 on December 18, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Has Simon Peter Orzsag denied Obama three times before the rooster crowed?
Has Judad David Axelrod kissed Obama on the cheek yet for a bag of coin?
Have all of the prophecies been fulfilled as of yet?
What are the stars doing….?

How long,is this jobs creation goona take,Hopey/Changey campained on 1,000,000 million,shovel ready,and now its
been almost a full year,and the next scam is talk of an
other stimulus to get jobs going,and now,its talk once
again about job creation,through saving the planet,in
which American jobs will magically appear!!
Remember,all through the Liberal Primaries and the Pres
idential election,OBAMA WAS THE MAN WITH THE PLAN,
is been a long F#@%^&*()(*&^%$#$ honeymoon,so I ask
WHERES THE F@%^&()__)(*#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$ PLAN,Barrack!!!!

They all agreed to let the earth continue it’s pattern? Awesome. I like agreement 40 years from now too. I think we should sign a non-binding agreement with all nations that says we will equip the world’s citizens with petal-powered hovercraft by 2050. That’d be fun.

Why did he bother to show up? He contributed nothing.
mizflame98 on December 18, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Yeah, that’s how Wolfman Blitz and the rest of the CNN clowns looked this afternoon-he repeatedly hyped it as a major earth-shattering success for his Dear Leader, but suddenly after O’bama had this wunnerful snoozer, Norman immediately jumped to the next story.

Um, uh, and then he fled to AF1 to get home before the blizzard.

You ain’t seen nothing yet-they will be in Kailua for 11 days starting next week.
Just think about it-O’bama topless and Michelle in a bikini splashed across your teevee 24/7 between 12/23 and 1/2. How cool can you get?
Del Dolemonte on December 18, 2009 at 7:00 PM
UNPRECEDENTED presidential incapability to see beyond the end of his nose and visualize reality.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear, it’s unprecedented.
It’s also George Bush’s fault, whatever it is.

Cicero43 on December 18, 2009 at 7:05 PM
Orwell is on a non-stop giggle fit. Mark1971 got it.
This agreement is precedented…some English fellow got out of an airplane last century and waved a paper about that was just as useful in accomplishing his goal of “peace in our time” as Bama will be in managing CO2 reductions.
He lies again, except that he probably can get some money sent off to Chavez, Mugabe and the like and will definitely try to use EPA to frag US industry. There will be lots of wasted money in lawsuits and many starving Swiss bank accounts will go unfed, but, where would we be if this guy really had a pair and was effective?
It would be amusing if he hadn’t been elected here. We look like the idiots everyone has always said we were. Damn. Better than the alternative, but damn, anyway.

It’s pretty funny that the term “shovel ready” sure the hell isn’t thrown around nowadays like it was back in Jan/Feb time. Now, it’s only used as a euphemism for a stupid ass project.

Ordinarily I would never recommend this, but just listen to Obama speaking in this clip.
The only thing he ever had going for him was that self-righteous fervor in his voice. There is none of that here. Even HE isn’t buying his own hype anymore.
