I personally think that he thought he had the votes to pass it, ending up with that feather in the cap and his name on it. IMO.

Well, if he is truly a narcissist (not saying he is, just riding on the concept) then self destructing is par for the course… it comes with the condition. They never see it coming because their narcissism totally blinds them to that the possibility of failure.

You don’t want to be around a narcissist when they fail.

I suppose. I am just failing to see the connection between a push for meaningful healthcare reform and Obama’s supposed narcisissm. Attempting to solve the greatest challenge facing our entire societyre: #789 Bagua

Of course it matters. These people are asking us to change our lifestyles to emit less carbon and yet they show no effort in doing so themselves. They could have used a teleconference, or held their meeting at a location requiring a fraction of the air-miles.

What happened to lead by example? The hypocrisy is a major turn off.

If it’s a global conference, somebody has to fly somewhere. And quite frankly, air travel isn’t going anywhere any time soon. There is no technology that I’m aware of that will replace the jet turbine any time soon for airplane engines.

The reductions that need to take place are in the realm of industrial power generation. Which need to be adopted by everyone across the globe to make a difference. Hence the global conference.
