True/Slant writer Jeff McMahon wets his pants while trapped somewhere between his fear of global warming and his schoolboy crush on Barack Obama:
Can Obama steer America between a rock and hard place to Copenhagen?
The destination is the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.
The ravenous Scylla is the set of high expectations that this tender, ailing world holds for Barack Obama–particularly at that conference. Here he comes to save the day! Surely, if anyone can rally the planet to save itself it’s the community organizer who rose from the blood-spattered ruins of the South Side of Chicago to depose the most virulent strain of American conservatism yet. And the world is counting on him…
It’s enough to make a community organizer, whose task is to organize the world community, lose his cool. As you pass through these perilous straits, Barack, keep your eye on the Little Mermaid. Her waters are getting warm.
Sounds like Jeff’s waters are getting a little warm, too.
