Barack Obama has yet to have anything happen in Copenhagen which is entirely to his liking.

First, there was the bid for the Chicago Olympics, in which President and Michelle Obama made the ultimate sacrifice by showing up and speechfying (in a very condescending and Chicago-centric way) for an award of the Olympics to Chicago. Within hours of Mr. Obama's speech, the Games were awarded to the poorest of the poor -- the kids of Rio.

Now, we have just had President and Michelle Obama fly into Copenhagen a second time, attempting a last minute revival global warming summit which had devolved into a scratch fight between the "haves" and the "have-nots" -- a fight in which China tried assiduously to maintain its status as a "have-not" when its position in the global economy, it's seat on the UN Security Council, and its military spending certainly put it into the category of the "haves". Quiz: Did it work? Q2: Who gets blamed for the failure?

My anwers: Q1: Yes, it worked -- for the Chinese and the rest of us who think the whole man-made global warming scam is exactly that. The status quo of infinite fake carbon credits remains on China's ledger. By extension, our own leaders will have to work much harder for cap-and-trade, given both China and India's intransigence on it. Q2: The last guy to touch the corpse -- Barack Obama.

When Obama puts out his Christmas rag sheet describing all the fun the family had this year, will either visit to Copenhagen make the cut?
