U.S. President Barack Obama addresses the UN climate-change summit in New York on Tuesday. He will speak to the general assembly on Wednesday.

KEYWORDS:
From Roosevelt until Bush, America has been seen as a leader of nations, a beacon of freedom in a world filled with despots and dictators. America was thee world leader.

Of course, considering the troubles Obama has had governing his own country, this turn for the worse in world affairs should be of no surprise.

Obama is a mouthpiece, but his worldview does not reflect the view of Americans as a nation.

So pay no attention United Nothings. Obama has no credibility with Americans. So certainly the World should not count on him to be credible. He will abandon any nation in a heart beat.

"Obama is a mouthpiece, but his worldview does not reflect the view of Americans as a nation."
