Obama Ignores 'Wrap-It-Up' Beeps, Talks and Talks at Climate Summit (given 3 minutes, speaks for 14)
NBC News ^ | Nov 30 2015, 11:08 am ET | Alexander Smith

President Barack Obama was met with what appeared to be the U.N.'s version of the Oscars' "wrap-it-up" music Monday after he significantly overran his allotted time to speak at a global climate change summit.

Obama was one of 147 world leaders given a three-minute slot at the COP21 conference to outline their vision for the future of the planet.

The president of the free world, however, had other ideas.

More than eight and a half minutes into Obama's address — and with no sign he was stopping soon — three beeps sounded across the auditorium, clearly audible to everyone present and watching on TV.

Organizers did not respond to NBC News' requests for comment on the beeps, but the punctuating sounds appeared to be the conference's not-so-subtle attempt to get Obama to wrap it up.

The beeps continued every 30 seconds, but the president plowed on.

After 11 minutes, whoever was manning the "beep" button had clearly given up, and no more prompts were heard until Obama ended his epic discourse just shy of 14 minutes.

By the time he was done, he had spoken for nearly the length of time set aside for four world leaders. If all 147 speakers had taken as long as Obama, their combined addresses would have lasted more than 33 hours.

And it was not as if he went off on a tangent in the heat of the moment; his prepared remarks released by the White House ran to more than 1,700 words.

Castro... part 2. Hours of useless ‘hey look at me” crapola from a marxist narcissist mental midget pervert with a drug habit— who, without prepared remarks and a teleprompter sounds like the most uninformed moron undergraduate teaching assistant at a nothing college. But, as an agitprop for the muslim brotherhood.....he be... OTAY!

One aspect of the coming world Ruler AKA "the beast" is his mouth - he just can't stop talking. Like Obama, this coming world ruler will always be evangelizing. The Bible repeatedly mentions the blasphemous speeches of this coming world ruler. Another name for him could be "Big Mouth."

Again, Obama's "Big Mouth" is a shadow of this coming menace's "Big Mouth". Obama is a shadowy figure who in turn is a shadow of what's coming. But Obama is only a preview of coming attractions - child's play compared to this coming "vile person" AKA "Man of Sin".

BTW, please don't waste your time trying to figure out the mystery of who this "Wicked" man will be. The Bible say he will only be revealed AFTER Jesus takes us up to be with Him (1 Thess 2:7).

Just like in debates, beeps are for Republicans.

This is so unsettling. These world climate leaders know for a fact when the world will end due to climate change. That wasn’t a 3 minute speech timer, it was a segment of the countdown clock. Obama wasted precious minutes that we have left to cure climate change.

Think of it as running out the clock. I figure that if Algore is correct it's already too late and so we might as well just forget the whole thing and party down.

It appears to be a minority opinion. :-(

I am sure he wanted to put in the extra effort for Soros.

Soros and his evil creeps will make billions off this load of bs.

There should be a trapdoor behind the podium where the speaker stands. 30 seconds past the deadline, the door should spring open. Whatever is lurking beneath the stage floor can be left to your imagination.

How many times did he reference himself during the speech? “I”, “me”, etc.
