"It's a battle -- we're going to win -- take no prisoners," the first lady said with a smile at a roundtable discussion with reporters in the White House State Dining Room.I assume that Obama would not travel to Copenhagen unless he thought
America has acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others. But it is my deeply held belief that in the year 2009 - more than at any point in human history - the interests of nations and peoples are shared. No longer do we have the luxury of indulging our differences to the exclusion of the work that we must do together.*Text, other than the last sentence, is copyright of Barack Obama, 9/23/2009, all rights reserved.
If we are honest with ourselves, we need to admit that we are not living up to that responsibility. In an era when our destiny is shared, power is no longer a zero sum game. No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed.
America will keep our end of the bargain. I am not naïve. I know this will be difficult. That is why the days when America dragged its feet on this issue are over. Now is the time for all of us to do our part. We have reached a pivotal moment. The United States stands ready to begin a new chapter of international cooperation ....
Yeah, so we kicked your ass in Copenhagen and brought home the bacon to Chi-town, suckers ... get over it.*

Some people can see a difference between war and the Olympics. Apparently you are not one of them.
ReplyDeleteThe man's ego is boundless. How long before he starts positioning himself to take credit for the sun rising?
ReplyDeleteEh, at least he's focusing on important things, like the Olympics. I bet that dummy GWB would be doing stupid stuff like talking to Gen.McChrystal all the time.
Obama has his priorities straight! Forget war, economy, healthcare, the environment, unemployment or bank failures - the Olympics must go on!
ReplyDeleteNow then. Let's all be patient. It will all take some time to sort out who from the Daley Machine paid off whom to send money to whom. Tapes and YouTube at 11. If it's "all in the bag" there's only the scandal left to comment on. This is the Chicago Way.
ReplyDeleteWar? What war? Oh, THAT war. No problem, it's all over and we've met our objectives - of which 'Victory' was never a part.
Obama is just seeking employment for those gang bangers now that ACORN is no longer employing career criminals other than their leadership of course. He needs to actual lead not give Anti-American speeches overseas that undermine the country he allegedly leads.
ReplyDeleteGreat scoop on President Obama's planned speech. I posted it to the comments at the Zombie Contentions blog.

So! There wasn't a Chicago Insider deal after all. It was just all about The Won. Man! This was a lose-lose for Obama and the US.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing, Jimmy...
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean the IOC is clearly racist for dumping the US bid in round one? I mean it's rumored all the Asians were in the bag for Tokyo.
Nah. It's George Bush's fault. And the rightwing racists.
