Mr. Obama’s speech Monday at the COP26 climate-change summit is being mocked for his reference to host Scotland as part of the “Emerald Isles,” which is a nickname for Ireland.

" Since we’re in the Emerald Isles here let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare,” Mr. Obama said. “‘What wound,’ he writes, ‘did ever heal but by degrees?’”

I always knew he was an idiot. Apparently his speechwriter is an idiot too. Any Scotsman - or woman - would be highly insulted.

He didnt know that Scotland and Britain were not Emerald Isles and that Shakespeare was British not Irish?
