In a bizarre speech to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Barack Obama, slurring his words and displaying an uncharacteristically squinting, petulant manner, struck a defiant and desperate tone in his speech (or should we say, defense) to the conference.
You have to feel sorry for the man. COP15 has been a disaster, with infighting and standoffs between participants – particularly Africa, the United States, and China. No meaningful agreements have been reached despite two weeks of talks, and all that's left is to pick up the pieces.
What a disaster. Copenhagen is NOT kind to this man. First the Olympics fiasco, now this impossible task - it's just not fair.
