Cuban Official: “Arrogant”, “Imperial” Obama Lied In Copenhagen
Wasn’t Obama supposed to be making us more well-liked in the world?
HAVANA – Cuba’s foreign minister called President Barack Obama an “imperial and arrogant” liar Monday for his conduct at the U.N. climate conference, a reflection of the communist island’s increasingly fiery verbal attacks on the U.S. government.
Bruno Rodriguez spent an hour and a half lambasting Obama’s behavior in Copenhagen, telling a news conference, “at this summit, there was only imperial, arrogant Obama, who does not listen, who imposes his positions and even threatens developing countries.”
He called the summit “a fallacy, a farce” and said Washington used back-room deals and strong-arm tactics to foist on the world a deal that he labeled “undemocratic” and “suicidal” because it urges — but does not require — major polluters to make deeper emissions cuts.
Obama’s goal in Copenhagen, I think, was to get in and out with some superficial victory he could wave around as an accomplishment without really having to do anything that could get him in even deeper hot water with his constituents.
