Obama Going To Copenhagen 'Empty Handed,' Says Analyst

After climate change efforts have stalled in Congress, Senior Policy Analyst Ben Lieberman with the Heritage Foundation, offered words of advice to President Obama as he shows up in Copenhagen "empty handed."

“My grandmother used to say ‘whenever you visit someone you shouldn’t come empty handed.’ As the American delegation heads to Copenhagen, they don’t have the legislation that they wanted or regulations towards some step of climate regulation,” said Ben Lieberman, Senior Policy Analyst with the Heritage Foundation, during a panel discussion at the National Press Club.
