Former President Barack Obama challenged President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate agreement, describing it as the “absence of American leadership.”
“In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history about climate change, an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership, can still give our children a fighting chance,” Obama said during a speech in Indonesia on Saturday. Obama stressed that even though Trump made the decision to pull the United States out of the Paris agreement, “technically it’s not out yet.”
The president spoke in lofty terms about the state of the world warning that it was a “crossroads” as many countries were slipping into nationalism.
“We start seeing a rise in sectarian politics, we start seeing a rise in an aggressive kind of nationalism,” he said. “We start seeing both in developed and developing countries an increased resentment about minority groups and the bad treatment of people who don’t look like us or practice the same faith as us.”
Obama spoke generally about world leaders who refused to embrace tolerance and diversity.
“I don’t believe the future favors strongmen. I believe the future favors those who promote tolerance … who are open to differences and learn from everyone,” he said.

That would be an absence of muzzyslime Kenyan leadership rather than any absence of American leadership.
Whoevere Obama was is now irrelevant. Whenever someone sends me anything about him I just hit delete.
Trump is having meetings every day and meeting with other leaders of nations every day.
This from the fool who “led from behind.” STFU Obozo.
Girly-boy talks about leadership?? The only thing he ever led was a Pride Parade.
You mean the absence of your famous “Lead from Behind” ? Poor baby, needs to keep lamenting.

I so wish Clown Dunce nobama, the impostor, were “lamenting” being in prison.
Or was it that he had lead in his behind?
Something stupid like that.
Funny, I remember the leaders of Israel, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt all openly praising Trump for bringing back American leadership, after Obama cut our allies in the Middle East loose in favor of Iran and being soft on terrorism.
