Baffled Barack Obama Hails Scotland ‘Emerald Isles’ in Glasgow Climate Speech

Former U.S. President Barack Obama seemed confused about his location Monday when he addressed the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, and hailed his presence in the “the Emerald Isles.”

The Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, resident made the gaffe leading many to conclude he’d mixed up Scotland with Ireland – the latter of which is often called the Emerald Isle. The term British Isles refers to the island formation that includes Ireland and the UK.

English playwright William Shakespeare was also referenced as “the Bard” in passing which was something of a shock to many Scots who tuned in or made up parts of the audience, the Daily Record reports.

They would be more likely to hail poet Robert Burns, also known familiarly as Rabbie Burns, the National Bard, with that epithet.

“Since we’re in the Emerald Isles here let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare,” Obama said while addressing the issue of climate change.

He’s a dumb jerk, but the people who voted for him are even dumber.

The former Usurper was selected twice by the GOP running willing intentional Designated Losers.

BOTH parties wanted the natural born citizen requirement neutered.

Rubio, Cruz, Jindal, Haley and George P. Bush are ALL ineligible and were seen as the future of the party.

I was concerned this conference would really kick off the complete destruction of the oil sectors. But, once I saw the guy with the reverse Midas touch show up, I am content little will happen over the long run.

I watched parts of his comments which I think Tucker ran. Made me happy to note that POS will never be president again, here. Perhaps in his native Kenya, but not here.

Racist socialist to his core.

Baraq was always good at reading speeches. Did he go off script, or was it written that way?

Did he fire up “the pipes” to play a couple choruses of Danny Boy for Camilla’s entertainment.

Geography obviously wasn’t his strong point: Obama, when standing on Hawaii, once referred to it as Asia.

All white countries look the same.

Imaging if Dan Quayle had said that.

Scotland the Brave! Known for its valiant corpsemen.

Idiot Obama and his personal staff of idiots. Always good for a laugh. Like all liberal idiots they have a completely inflated idea of their own worth.

Obama is culturally illiterate between those jug ears. It is a dense African jungle thicket which even Tarzan could not hope to navigate.
