Obama lost his compass on this journey! --- To add a bit of levity: Former President Obama, in his speech at the recent Cop 26 in Glasgow stated: "Since we're in the Emerald Isles here, let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare. "'What wound,' he writes, 'did ever heal but by degrees?'
To the best of my knowledge, the Emerald Isle refers to Ireland and William Shakespeare was English. Had he given his remarks some thought, one would imagine he would have chosen a quote from the Scottish poet Robert Burns.
Alas, his ethos may have taken a hit on this one.
