Here is something I had not heard of until today. Then again, I paid little attention to the Hopenhagen conference, as it was just another example of ideological masturbation for the Left and their hippy and Enviromarxist concubines.

However, with this exchange as reported by WELT, a German publication, it seems that Obama threw the kind of temper tantrum that is normally reserved for a 5 year old at the candy counter or an ACORN rep being denied their daily bottle of Wild Turkey.

From WELT: (Google Translation)

The US president BO had hardly arrived when he let it be known, “the time for talk is over.” From now on, he would take over the leadership of the negotiations.

Together with German Chancellor Merkel, the heads of Russia, Brazil, Japan, the EU and other prominent countries, Obama went to work. But things didn’t go like the Nobel prize winner had imagined. Only German Environment minister Norber Roettgen remained optimistic. Despite the tough negotiation, he opined, there could be a resulting compromise. “Today we throw the dice.”

Instead, it turned into a fiasco. [...]

According to rumors from the Bella Center, President BO is said to have asked for a conversation with Wen jibao to bring up the matters. But O had to wait. Wen, according to the rumors, almost never left his hotel room and could not be found. Finally the US Delegation succeeded in finding the chinese premier in a conference room. An obviously angry Obama is said to have stormed into the room. “Are you ready yet to talk with me Mr Premier?” he is said to have shouted. “Are you ready now? Mr Prmier, are you ready to talk with me?” What a stage entrance for a US President.

However, Wen was not alone in the room, as Obama literally burst in, according to members of the congress. The Chinese (premier) was in the middle of talks with India’s head of state Mammohan Singh and the South African president Jacob Zuma. Suddenly the group found itself forced into a conversation with the US president.

A complete and total embarrassment.
