Today President Obama told the delegation in Copenhagen that the US would come up with $100 billion to fight climate change. What he failed to say is that to get this money he will have to get 2/3 of the senate to approve it.

The senate is on the verge of raising the US debt ceiling by a further $290 billion dollars so the government can continue to operate, and President Obama has just promised away more than 1/3 of that amount.
