U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy says the House will not go along if President Barack Obama tries to commit taxpayer money to support a climate accord reached in Paris.

McCarthy suggested that a must-pass year-end spending bill currently in the works could become the vehicle for language blocking any such expenditure.

The California Republican on Monday also criticized Obama's overall approach at the Paris talks, saying he should be focusing on America's progress in switching to natural gas and thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Let's kick his butt off the planet then.

If he doesn't want to be part of the solution he has to get out of our way, which will probably only work if we can eject him to someplace else. Instead of "Man Without a Country" it now seems to have escalated to "man Without a Planet" when it comes to punitive isolation.

Then again, maybe we could buy some small atoll he can inhabit while it lasts.
