THE United States embassy in Canberra advised President Barack Obama not to make the provocative, anti-Abbott speech on climate change which he made at the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
That the President acted against the advice of his own embassy reveals a deeply divided and in part dysfunctional Obama administration, unable to reconcile its foreign policy objectives and its domestic imperatives.
The speech was not only damaging for Tony Abbott, as it will be used by all his opponents on climate change up until the next election, it was a disaster for US foreign policy, because the gratuitous climate change remarks completely overshadowed all the regional and security content which Obama’s foreign policy team wanted to be the main point of his major address on his Asian tour.
Obama’s self-indulgent folly was in striking contrast to the masterful performances of China’s President Xi Jinping and India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Xi and Modi have both achieved almost everything they wanted from Asia’s season of summits. Obama has achieved almost nothing.

As a former Democrat Presidential nominee once reminded us, a fish rots from the head down.
Most of us good people have a lot of respect for Aussies, and no respect whatsoever for Obama, not even a tiny bit.

Obama is a psychopath and always has been. More recently he has been acting even more insane than usual. I expect him to fly completely off the handle in a few weeks. It might get to the point that his psychosis is unmanageable no matter how many psych drugs they shove down his throat. Watching him howl at the moon and giggle uncontrollably would be a treat.
To the egotistical young ideologues from Washington, the American diplomats on the ground exist to provide hotel rooms and rental cars, not advice and expertise.
Obama is a narcissistic fool and this is yet more evidence of it.
Yes and you are good people my brother!
God bless ya!

I like the Jamaicans! He reminds me of one here. Shame about the Chicago roots and the bad influences.
CO2 has absolutely no impact on weather patterns.
Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Only leftwing socialists/communists like obamatollah use “climate change” as a vehicle to redistribute wealth and exert control over the masses.
