Will Obama vote Nopenhagen?

Obama is scheduled to make an appearance at the UN's climate summit in Copenhagen on Dec 9, to announce planned CO2 reductions by the US. He's stopping on his way to Oslo to pick up his Nobel Prize. (He's receiving the coveted Nobel Recursion Prize, which is awarded for being awarded the most ludicrous Nobel Prize ever awarded so far. To get this prize, you have to beat out the previous winner, which was Al Gore, who in 2007 finally eclipsed Yassir Arafat's 1994 Peace Prize.)

But now that Gore has voted Nopenhagen, will Obama also find some reason not to show up? Does he really want to be associated with this imploding, fraudulent mess?

Maybe there will be a runway problem so he can't land. Or his pilot will nod off and overshoot.

Better yet, maybe our first Post-Modern President can find a way to vote Present by proxy. Such irony would also make him a hero of a whole generation of French cafe intellectuals, which only means they don't know how things work in the Illinois legislature.
