Stupid-In-Chief Acting Supremely Stupid

Remember how that little man-made climate change thing has been obliterated as the literal fraud that it is? Doesn't matter:

Initially [Obama] was only going to go the first week and put in some face time, a.k.a. vote “present,” but China and India have come to the table so he’s rescheduled for the big finale. Not that anyone seriously expected him to change his plans because of Climategate, which is now being (perfunctorily) investigated by the UN, but in case you harbored even the tiniest hope, let go.

Based on his conversations with other leaders and the progress that has already been made to give momentum to negotiations, the President believes that continued US leadership can be most productive through his participation at the end of the Copenhagen conference on December 18th rather than on December 9th. There are still outstanding issues that must be negotiated for an agreement to be reached, but this decision reflects the President’s commitment to doing all that he can to pursue a positive outcome. The United States will have representation in Copenhagen throughout the negotiating process by State Department negotiators and Cabinet officials who will highlight the great strides we have made this year towards a clean energy economy.

So, now that man-made climate change has been proven a fraud and a hoax, Obama is more heavily invested in man-made climate change than ever. Nice.

And that's not even the really stupid part. Here you go:

[T]he U.S. will propose a cut in emissions over the same time period in the range of 17 percent, regardless of the growth of its economy. For the U.S. to achieve the target it proposes, however, Congress will have to pass legislation to curb greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

The Senate has said it will not take up the measure until next year.

And even if it does, a 17 percent reduction by 2020 is lower than what scientists say is needed to avert the dangerous consequences of climate change.

Yep, that's right. Obama and the Dems are going to destroy the already-fragile American economy, subjugate American energy policy to international rule, and curtail the freedom of the American people...all based on a known fraud, and all to create a reduction that even they admit won't do a damn bit of good.

Can it get any more Washingtonian than this??

Now is when your elected reps (your Senators, to be precise) really need to hear from you.

There's my two cents.
