As the curtains open at the global summit in Copenhagen, critics in Europe are calling US President Barack Obama a liar and a traitor in the fight to slow global warming. In truth, though, he's the greenest president America has ever seen.
Now Barack Obama is guilty, along with an America that is oil-dependent, ultra-consumerist, superficial and detached from the world. The White House messiah had proclaimed a new direction for a warming planet -- and hasn't fulfilled his vision within a historical second. Ten months into his term, the United States is showing up at the global climate conference in Copenhagen without having passed a climate change bill.
The US is not delivering. US President Barack Obama has -- according to the commentaries, including one on
SPIEGEL ONLINE -- "neglected" climate change policies, "betrayed" his claim to be a "citizen of the world," and has been "dishonest with Europe." When it comes to climate change, he is "following in the footsteps of his predecessor."
Kind of harsh don't you think? It's getting tough to be the Anointed One! Of course, they obviously don't think much of the American citizen either because we are, in their words, "ultra-consumerist, superficial, and detached from the world". Actually, I am okay with that. If it bothers them, it must be good.
