You’ve seen those commercials with the hurricane eye, mystery voices screaming and the catchy phrase “Let’s turn Copenhagen into Hopenhagen” appear on the screen. Very dramatic ad, but the hope thing ain’t happening.
There is only one person on Earth that knows more about Hope then Barack Obama – and this person is the Pope. That is why when radio Vatican proclaimed that the Climate Change Treaty that was supposed to happen in Copenhagen will be pushed to be discussed next year – I knew Hope has turned into Nope in Denmark.

(21 November 09 – Radio Vatican) The UN and Denmark this week said that a binding international treaty to limit greenhouse gas emissions will slip to mid-2010 or beyond, and a summit in Copenhagen next month will fall short of its ambitions. The United Nations’ top climate official said a treaty could be wrapped up at talks in Bonn by mid-2010. Denmark, host of next month’s meeting, said it might take longer – until Mexico in December. Negotiations on a deal, initially due to be reached at the Dec. 7-18 summit in Copenhagen, have stalled.


Surprised? No. The signs were all there. On October 24 the White House slid a brief statement under the door: President Obama Won’t Go to Copenhagen for the Climate Conference. Apparently the Global Warming Treaty was already dead at the time, and Barack Obama run away from the danger of a bad photo-op faster then he run away from New Orleans on his first visit there.
Obama already was basted with bad publicity in Copenhagen once in September, when his pitch for the Chicago Olympics failed. The International Olympic Committee chose to take their Games at may be the only place on the planet where gangsters are killing each other in higher volumes then Chicago – and that is Rio de Janeiro. The President of the USA was publicly humiliated as Putin and even Blair before him got the Olympics for their countries. Vladimir Putin secured Winter Olympics in Sochi – it is a beach tourist destination, there is no snow in Sochi, just sunny beaches, but Putin said – we’ll make some snow and got the Games. Obama stood there in Copenhagen, told the world how America makes mistakes sometimes, but he is hoping America will get the Olympics. NOPE.
Fool me once – shame on you. Fool me twice – shame on me. In that line of thinking Barack Obama decided to skip the Climate Change Summit in “Hopenhagen”, despite all the begging Al Gore made. The POTUS didn’t want another picture decorated with NOPE instead of HOPE. The Summit in Copenhagen immediately lost credibility and everybody retreated from the treaty. Obama likes to be liked and nobody in the world likes to get price hikes on energy. The gang in Copehagen will have to think of some other way to save the planet.

The real reason why President Obama threw the Climate Change under the bus is because he is busy with more important things, like government takeover of 1/6 of the American economy, also known as The Health Care Bill.
