#1 Lets see now, the Canadian Free Press is telling the people in the United States of America the President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, is about to hand over American sovereignty to the United Nations.

Balderdash, He is the President of the United States, born in America, raised as a good God fearing Christian, Harvard educated, a lawyer, community organizer, former United States Senator; he would never do that.

#2 Then-Vice President Al Gore signed the original Kyoto treaty. But the Senate refused to vote to verify, so the treaty was not binding upon the U.S. Likewise any such climate change treaty President Obama or his representative might sign in Copenhagen. Every single Democratic senator would have to rear up on his/her hind legs to vote for the thing. Given that some of those seats are shaky, the risk/return ratio on this thing could be pretty high for just enough senators that the treaty will, like Kyoto, never make it to the floor for a vote.

#3 It actually takes 67 votes to ratify a treaty - 2/3, not a majority. There are only five RINOs in the Senate that would even CONSIDER voting for this crap, and about a dozen Dems that won't. Either way, it's dead, and the President has no way to change it.

#4 Bet it makes it to the floor TW. Bet it looses 98-2.

This is ideal cover and win-win for all concerned.

#5 I stand corrected, Old Patriot. .5MT, I don't care how it happens that the stupid thing fails, so long as it does. But I would love your way, because that would make trying again more difficult.
