Krauthammer Punks Obama

“He lives in a world where people get together — reasonable, educated, Harvard Law School educated people from all over the world, and agree on futuristic designs that mean nothing, like the League of Nations, like the U.N.,” he continued. “But we have learned something since then, he has learned nothing. This global warming is the same thing. Nothing will come of it because it’s not a treaty. It would never get through the Senate. It’s not going to be binding on anybody.”

Is Obama clueless as to really what takes place in the world that surrounds him ?

That quote out of context literally makes no sense. .

I love when people with no understanding of international relations try to claim that the U.N. means nothing. It's objectively, demonstrably false, but it's a talking point that people (generally but not exclusively on the right) can't seem to give up.

Liberal idealism, as usual, fails the reality test. When reality doesn't conform to Obama's idealistic view, it's reality that is wrong, not Obama. Don't believe your lying eyes, believe what he's telling you. Sadly, half the country and the MSM goes along.

Except this isn't liberal idealism, this is the difference between an actual understanding of international relations and NGO's, and a lack thereof. If someone lacks an understanding of international relations, they will reject the United Nations and possible international agreements, regardless of the fact that they objectively exist, and objectively have a very real effect on everyone.

But you never give up an opportunity to make generalizations, do ya? :P

Once again, there's reality, then there is what you think. Maybe, just maybe, those two will coincide in your mind and make believe world at some point in the future. There is always hope. I'm pullin' for ya.
