Ever wonder what Obama would be like w/out a 'prompter? [krakatoa]

The president is in Copenhagen, and is doing his best impression of a bird on the wire. *

I imagine this is the biggest workout his neck has gotten for years.

His message, btw? Skeptics are to be ignored as the science is settled. You all (the conference) are acting stupidly for not having a treaty ready for me to sign. And my favorite:

"I come here today not to talk, but to act."

UPDATE: AmishDude suggests watching it without the sound to get the full comic effect.

(vid after the break)

* I used the bird on the wire phrase as a bit of a double meaning. But on second thought, I figure most the readers aren't Leonard Cohen fans. (Don't ask, don't know how I got hooked.)

So I think the song lyrics describe Obama's psyche fairly well.
