The Argument Obama Cannot Counter: Why China and India Have Him by the Balls

Last week, Obama hailed the "historic consensus" (the man needs to learn the true meaning of consensus) as world nations at the G-8 summit agreed to pay to cure the planet. China and India did not get on board. What they told Obama is that rich nations should pay for saving the world. --- Actually. You know what? I thought I had an interesting take here. I was going to write how Obama's tax the rich philosophy was blowing up in his face. And how his attempt to create wealth and prosperity for Americans was going to be thwarted by China and India. Turns out, Obama's cool with the global plan to tax the rich. Which, apparently, means he's cool with the United States and those people living in it paying for it. And shame on me for assuming Obama wishes to create wealth and prosperity for Americans.

Barack Obama hailed a "historic consensus" Thursday on cutting pollution, saying rich nations had a duty to set an example, as world leaders also agreed to shun protectionism at a G8 summit.

Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Mexico and South Africa all joined the G8 on its second day, determined that US President Obama and his wealthy partners pick up most of the tab for solving the economic crisis and global warming.

As late as last week, China and India opposed ambitious reduction targets, arguing the rich world should lead the way in fighting climate change.

A "consensus" on curbing climate pollution that doesn't include India and China? The two fastest growing, fastest polluting, least regulated economies in the world? Can anyone who is not a raving moonbat see a problem with that?


Why would a man who is trying to create jobs and wealth for America say such things? Why would he agree to such things? He wouldn't. But a man who is trying to reduce America's standard of living to that of a third world country would say such things. So, you have to figure Obama is one of two things. A man who is determined to end the American standard of living, or just an enormous dipshit. It's a coin toss really.
