Barack Obama's achievements in Copenhagen failed to meet his personal lofty lefty goals; our little country can (temporarily) gasp out a whimper of relief. But such a whimper is barely sufficient to cover the howls from the train of pain that is Obamacare, as it's coming for our fragile economy. That'll be a trainwreck, just wait and see.

Obama, on COP15...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that disappointment over the outcome of the Copenhagen climate change summit was justified, hardening a widespread verdict that the conference had been a failure.

"I think that people are justified in being disappointed about the outcome in Copenhagen," he said in an interview with PBS Newshour.

"What I said was essentially that rather than see a complete collapse in Copenhagen, in which nothing at all got done and would have been a huge backward step, at least we kind of held ground and there wasn't too much backsliding from where we were."

Sweden has labeled the accord Obama helped broker a disaster for the environment, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the summit was "at best flawed and at worst chaotic," and climate change advocates have been even more scathing in their criticism.

The talks secured bare-minimum agreements that fell well short of original goals to reduce carbon emissions and stem global warming, after lengthy negotiations failed to paper over differences between rich nations and developing economies. Some singled out China for special blame.

So be it. If the weenies had gotten what they wanted, we might as well have unfolded our huts and settled back into a pre-industrial age. Got mule team?

Der Spiegel was especially vehement...

What a disaster. The climate summit in Copenhagen has failed because of the hardball politicking of the United States, China and several other countries -- and because people just can't seem to fathom how catastrophic climate change will be. They probably won't have long to wait before things become a bit clearer.

Ya little weenies, you wanted far too much too soon. We can't destroy the world's economies when the science is so far from settled.

Thank you, unknown hacker who wasn't a hacker atall but just a scientist who couldn't stand the lies anymore!

I anxiously await any sign that the weenies mouthing their anti-capitalist pro-socialist agendas are anything but full of shit. Show me something that's repeatable and consistent, then we'll go from there. I don't think they can. But that won't stop their attempts to CHANGE the world to their specifications.

Dirty socialists, the lot of 'em.
