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