Where’s Our Copenhagen Souvenir?
by Bret JacobsonDrudge is pointing to this damning story to proclaim “TRIPS TO COPENHAGEN COST OVER $1,000,000… ” for Congressional trips across the pond. What did you get for it, other than the joy of sending “106 people from the House and Senate” which included “spouses, a doctor, a protocol expert and even a photographer”? Nothing. No climate deal (thankfully). While you gave the shirt off your back, you didn’t even get this:

Brett, we did get the benefit of not having them screwing up the country for a few days. Who knows? It may yet prove to have been cheap at twice the price!
Not only that, Obama's loss of prestige and the lesson it taught the astute observer about who he really is was priceless.
All the other t-shirts said " I'm with stupid > ".
Its the government's duty to serve the people of our Republic, but this administration believes it exist to be served.
We also got to see NO-Bama make another really stupid speach.
Global warming is the lowest of priorities in America. It does seem the hookers also made money there. The eco terroristas say "fun was had by all"
Indeed…For as much as the international socialists praised Obama…It was nice to see him fall flat on his face, similarly with the bid for the O-lympics. I never tire of watching this man fall flat on his political face.
Maybe that's why his ears are so big? To retard the air flow past his face as he's preparing for impact?
What else could we expect from the leader of the Louis XVI congress? Maybe she will be the next Marie Antionette come November.
Too bad Obumble and the Dems didn't stay in Copenhagen
with the Commies who gave him that Peace prize.
They could have hired him to teach them how
to steal elections, and bully people…(start an ACORN
for them)….Bet they would appreciate that!!
Have a look at the following: It is interesting.

Instead of Copenhagen, it should have been the Bermuda Triangle…Just saying…Doubt anyone would miss most of the people that were in attendance…!?
And God knows, we would be better off with out them…!
ROFL! That theory would make Darwin proud!
The only thing I got from these idiots is IBS and ulcers.
The arrow should always point to the LEFT.
Indeed. I'd like to see those vacation films. Then again…probably not!
Let's see – we give several THOUSAND times as much to Israel EVERY YEAR, not just once, in aid. So, we could make a trip every year to Copenhagen (where there isn't an Apartheid government like in Israel) for a thousand years at that price. And that money wouldn't be wasted making enemies for us in the process. Have some perspective.
IN SEPT '08 IN MADE TWO YOU TUBE VIDEOS (JNH FOR PRESIDENT & JNH FOR PRESIDENT 2) FOOLISHLY THINKING THAT I COULD DERAIL OBAMA AND MC CAIN FROM THIS POTENTIAL "ROYALTY" DISASTER..OF COURSE, I WENT UN NOTICED IN MSM FRENZY TO GET THESE "SOCIALISTS" ELECTED..NOW MY VIDEOS DON'T SEEM SO FOOLISH..AT LEAST I TRIED..THIS COPENHAGEN FRIVILOUS WASTE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS SHOULD BE PAID BACK TO TREASURY BY ALL ATTENDEES BECAUSE IT IS A FRAUDULENT TRAVEL EXPENSE..
I think this Copenhagen "fun for all" trip by Piglosi should be a prominent message to the voters in San Fran come mid-term elections. Now they want a freeze and tax hikes after they spent all this money. Idiots.
As far as unemployment, no one cares because all the leftist morons want is ugly windmills all over the country and to eradicate farms so we can buy poisoned food from China. How else will Obama repay the debt to China?
With a little perk here and there plus giving them our national parks.
This is a really good map showing unemployment county by county in the past few years:

This is even better:

The astute observer knew that 14 months ago.
Good one. I must be mildly dyslexic this morning. I got woken up too early by some shlub of a public employee running a chainsaw outside my bedroom window. Now I know why, in the Old West, people got shot for snoring too loudly. R.E.M. sleep is a terrible thing to waste.
Marie Antionette's crimes pale by comparison.
I am certain that we also will be getting a more refined and "palatable" approach to crap and tax later this year…
Nancy Pelosi's Expense Report = "High crimes and misdemeanors". Enforce the Constitution!
Well, we each reach awareness at different points in time and life…most of us, that is. Some, apparently, are just born blind.
You imply that you have perspective? The question is, of what…? Anti-Semitism?
I'm hoping that the Republicans take a huge majority and correct this economy created by these Marxist!
No impeachment though because we could not economically survive the riots!
A bunch of fools with no business in Copenhagen spend $1 million of our hard earned dollars.
In the mean time, they just want to tax us more and more.
Have some perspective, without your blatant bigotry showing. I thought you lefties were tolerant of people undergoing a perilous flight?
put them on per diem like every other civil servant….and make them fly coach!!! they are after all employees not the bosses…well at least in theory….
Let Obama pay it back with his Peace Prize money!
Also, if you were in Copenhagen, "left" was in every direction.
I am sure you are underestamating the cost by millions.Each flight cost 10,000 dollars.Plus they had obama and face lift using their own planes.I would say the totaal cost would be about 10 million dollars.What a country.
speaking of that and all this promised transparency…just where is all that cash??
IBS = Irritating Barack Syndrome?
Do you even know what "apartheid" means Dhasselhoff? By your usage — I doubt it.
I know that you think Americans should support the people that strap bombs to their ten year old children and call for our destruction everyday. But sensible Americans choose to support Israel instead.
maybe there should be a lot more overseas events for Obama, Pelosi, Reid et al to attend regulary and frequently– that will keep them "out of the office" so to speak, unable to pass legislation, and therefore, prevent more intrusion into our lives– that's about the only advantage I can think of, with this current bunch of nincomputes in power–
Nobody knows. But the law is clear, Obama cannot keep it, although I'm sure he will try.
Does everyone remember the MSM and the Dem leadership trashing AIG…American General Life and Accident…for the trip that they made after the AIG bailout? That trip was planned well in advance of the AIG "Financial" problems, and in a profitable corporation. No taxpayer money was spent, and they went on and on about the resort, meals, etc.
Government Rules…separate and contradictory rules for government.
Big profits for a business!?!?!?! That is "Gubmint money"!
"I thought you lefties were tolerant of people undergoing a perilous flight?"
Only if they can make a profit off it…!
This is very good !! Thanks for posting it I_madrift. The first half is a little boring but the second half is awesome !!

I just love the way you feel that all roads lead to Israel.
Perspective? It's a good thing you are (hopefully) not an architect.
You should see the amount of money my good Mayor Daley blew putting this little Copenhagen venture together.
At least what Nancy blew will be incurred by the tax payers of the entire country.
My kind of town will have to pay for Daley's pipe dream.
Just in time for the
State Of The Union Address
that Speaker of the House Podium has been looking rather lonely.
Here he goes again. It's the evil Israeli propaganda machine again. Hey hoff, in your twisted logic above "making enemies for us in the process", who would you prefer we make enemies with? Would you have us side with the terrorists like Hamas, Iran, or Al Qaeda? People who call for the destruction of all things Western that are not supportive of Islam. People who deny education to women, block freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Your constant blame of Israel is really tiring.
Love the video that was cool. And mostly true!!!!
He's already shown he doesn't believe in the law.
Who is a lefty?
Follow the money. A tiny rich nation receives more foreign aid than any other.
Why must we choose one terrorist over another?
Israel's terrorism: http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Palestine/kidna...
Well obviously you feel that our support of Israel has brought about the call for hatred against the US. So by all reasoning you would prefer we support the other side and be against Israel. Wouldn't that make you happy? For us to team up with the terrorist who call for our destruction? Oh that's right, if we were on their side they would like us then. If you believe that then you are sadly dilusional.
It must be a living hell inside your tiny world, filled with so much hate. Need help finding a support group? Still didn't locate that anti-semite web-site to let you unleash your pathetic and ugly words? What to do with sad lil Dhassel….
Maybe if they keep flying around they will get taken down by a terrorist.

"So by all reasoning you would prefer we support the other side and be against Israel."
How did you get that from "Why must we choose one terrorist over another?"
"For us to team up with the terrorist who call for our destruction?"
We are enabling those working towards their destruction – check a map – http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/mapstel...
YOU seem to think it is ok to destroy those you perceive are out to destroy YOU. So, what do you expect them to do? OUR GOVERNMENT started ALL of this. Look up Operation Ajax as an example of our CIA stirring all this up.
Must be fun attacking straw men. I have better used for my time and brainpower, though. Like embarrassing you neocons! LOL!
Not quite but close.
They are as long as the fight is heading for a socialist/communist utopia and they are only killing the rich like bankers, lawyers, doctors and teachers.
They better hurry because they won't have the brow beat vote in a few months.
It was just while he was campaigning, not a real promise.
You have to love Chicago. Great city with great people and the worst in politics and corruption. It really makes Miami feel like a modern city.
Where is our Copenhagen souvenir? Bend over …………………….Hanzo
Speaking of following the money, what about the foreign money that went into Obama's presidential campaign coffers.
A far as the foreign aid disproportional aspect, when all out world war breaks out, you will have wished the Israelis would have received a lot more of our money.
By living in Chicago one gets to go to Heaven without having to make donations at mass.
Look up a Youtube video called "Paliwood". Not only is it entertaining, it gives you a different perspective. I must say if the Palestinians were respectful of the Jews and their place in the Middle East instead of constantly calling for Israel to be pushed into the sea and living off of inernational welfare, things would be a little more peaceful over there.
Fifteen members of the House made this trip, yet the power to ratify treaties lies with the Senate.
It's harder to hear the call to prayer in this country.
because one terrorist wants to also kill us and the other one wants to get rid them
When we were all young lads, we would play "Monopoly" on rainy days.
Little did I know that my Todlin Town was going to become a big Democrat board game.
Now it always rains in this city.
"Speaking of following the money, what about the foreign money that went into Obama's presidential campaign coffers. "
What about it? I guess this was a desperate attempt to change the topic?
A far as the foreign aid disproportional aspect, when all out world war breaks out, you will have wished the Israelis would have received a lot more of our money.
Since they are the primary source of instability the opposite it true. You think they are on our side? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a fool you are. Remember the USS Liberty. Remember the Lavon Affair. These people are terrorists.
http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Palestine/kidna...
The Palestinians are being pushed in to the sea. You seem to think they should lay down and die. Another phony "Christian" no doubt.
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/mapstel...
You are brainwashed. Why would they want to kill us? Maybe because we are funding those who WANT TO GET RID OF THEM. I guess those Palestinians are to blame for not accepting genocide, eh?
The only person you embarass is yourself little man. I'll leave you to go play with yourself and refrain from commenting on any extreme bullsh** you write here. Have a wonderful life
I think your rational and logical thoughts are far too much for him to comprehend!
I was surprised to even see in the main media stories from European statespersons sayings bad things about Obama and his visit to the climate summit.Did they all think he would save the world from global warming in one speech?It cracked me up that Obama left early "due to developing bad weather in the US",when really he was being shouted out of town by his so-called friends in Europe.
Did he ever have prestige, other then in his own mind?
Like the B+ he gave himself, it didn't exist anywhere but
in his mind, and the brainless…
lol
If you're wearing the shirt, it points to your left.
He does have some huge ears, I always thought they were
to flap the flies away!
After all, I am from Chicago.
Genocide? next thing you know you are going to accuse the Jews of helping the US kill off all the Polar bears.
No mas Hamas.
Chicago Ralph – That's the difference between a Government Pipe Dream and a personal Pipe Dream. We're personally responsible for the costs of our own Pipe Dreams and we know how much we have to spend. When it comes to a Government Pipe Dream: first, "No price is too high", and second, the Amercian People get to pay the costs without being consulted.
This goes to the core of what the great majority of Americans dislike about the way things have gone…..Those in Government who work at our pleasure think we have no right to decide where, why and how much we want to be taxed and no right to decide when "Enough Government is enough"! We must tell them…."Enough Government for them is way too much for us."!
Actually, the Palestinians are to blame for promoting genocide: of the Israelis.
Funny how you never mention that… nor that the Palestinian population is mysteriously increasing despite your claim that they are victims of genocide.
Thankfully they didn't bring back a new treaty.
LOL, wish I would have thought of that one!
I am not a religious man by any means, so pidgeonholing me as "Christian" shows just how ignorant you are. Game, Set and Match. Have fun pleasuring yourself to Mein Kampf.
You should also know that there were Six Rep and there guest on this trip as well
Well you should remember that this economy problem we have was left by tho Oh So great Republican leader George W. Bush. If you can recall we were in bad shape way before Obama took over. But hey we know that Republicans are good with money right.. Cut taxes and start a War.. Well does not look like that plan worked out to well! But since you are (I'm sure a Smart Replublican, let me ask you this) What would you do to fix the econmy?
Improve your vision naturally!…
Thanks. Left you a trackback to help your readers improve eye vision naturally….
