Yes We Canute: Obama Has Four Years To Turn Back The Rising Tide
BARACK Obama has four yaars to save the world. Fact:
Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent action by the new president could halt the devastating climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that action will have to be taken within Obama’s first administration, he added.
What are the odds?

Obama Gets The Keys To The Debt Vehicle
HUGH Hewitt look at Bush, looks at Obama and attempts the impossible:
[T]he massive spending splurge unveiled by House Democrats is just a joke, an expression of eight years of pent-up liberal frustrations at fiscal discipline –the teenagers given a fifth and the car keys, out on a destructive joyride.
This would be daddy Bush who has doubled the national debt?

Petrol Cars Tow Democrat’s Empty Green Cars Home From Washington
GREEN cars can get you there, almost. But they can’t get you back. Democrat Eric Massa has a problem:
A hydrogen fuel cell car driven by U.S. Rep. Eric Massa to Washington, D.C. on Monday didn’t actually get him all the way there.
Massa had to be in the nation’s capital Tuesday for his swearing in as the 29th Congressional District’s new representative. He drove the General Motors Equinox prototype car to draw attention to the technology, some of which is being developed in the district.
The problem is the car can go about 150 to 200 miles without a refill, and the trip from Corning to Washington, D.C. is 282 miles. And there are no hydrogen refilling stations along the way.
Turn off the aircon:
As a result, Massa had to switch to another GM hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that was standing by in Harrisburg.
After the trip, both cars were towed back to their original locations by two Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid SUVs.
The need to make the switch was also part of the effort to promote the more environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel cell cars, said Massa spokesman Jared Smith.
Point made.

Obama’s Fawn: Roger Cohen Is Inside Barack
THE NEW York Times’ Roger Cohen is not so much in the media tank for Obama as is he trying to get inside Obama proper. The fawn:
“This 47-year-old man of mixed race, whose very name–O-Ba-Ma–has the three-syllable universality of a child’s lullaby, has always had something of the providential about him, a global figure who looks more like the guy at the local bodega than the guys on dollar bills. That’s the magic.” -Roger Cohen, New York Times, Jan. 14

Hell Can Wait: Barack Obama Won’t Follow Bin Laden
BARACK Obama and how change is not all it’s cracked up to be. Here’s Barack talking about Osama bin Laden:
“When John McCain said we could just ‘muddle through’ in Afghanistan, I argued for more resources and more troops to finish the fight against the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and made clear that we must take out Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants if we have them in our sights. John McCain likes to say that he’ll follow bin Laden to the gates of hell – but he won’t even go to the cave where he lives” Sen. Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention speech, Aug. 28, 2008
Obama knows and he will do better and go and get him. Maybe. He hopes. But, you know:

More On The Protocols Of Starbucks And Israel
THE Middle East Media Research Institute quotes Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, delivered on his al-Jazeera program on the Protocols Of Starbucks:
Here in Qatar, we have a branch of Marks and Spencer, which regularly dedicates its Saturday revenue to Israel. We have a Starbucks, which serves coffee. They used to hang a sign on the doors of their shops: “We benefit our most important partner, which is Israel, we help in the education of students in Israel, we help build up the Israeli defense arsenal,” and so on. People go and drink their expensive coffee. Instead of paying 2 riyals [55 cents] for a cup of coffee, they pay 20 riyals. This Starbucks is Zionist. Why do we not teach the nation to make do with its own products, when possible, even if they are of lesser quality? This is the only way the nation will rise.
All power to your greasy spoons. Forward with Latte! Jihadis for cheaper coffee!

Heads And Tales: Obama’s Closes Gitmo In His Head
HEADS & Tales: When the headline doesn’t match the story: “Obama Preparing Order to Close Guantanamo in First Week.”
So says The Huffington Post.
It’s unlikely the detention facility at the Navy base in Cuba will be closed anytime soon. In an interview last weekend, Obama said it would be “a challenge” to close it even within the first 100 days of his administration. But the order, which one adviser said could be issued as early as Jan. 20, would start the process of deciding what to do with the estimated 250 al-Qaida and Taliban suspects and potential witnesses who are being held there.
So Obama will prepare to close Gitmo in his head, maybe.

Vote Gordon Brown To Cure Cancer
IN his now weekly address to Sun readers, Gordon Brown pulls on his briefs and “said yesterday that he and Barack Obama shared a dream of tackling the world’s woes — and vowed to do so together.”
Brown is the new black, say his supporters.
The Prime Minister declared they would form a bond so strong that Britain’s special relationship with the US would become unbreakable.
So tight will this bond become that should, say, the US economy tumble, then we too will tumble.
Should the US go to war, we too will go to war.
