Climate Denier Marc Morano Praises "George W. Obama" at COP17

onDec 8, 2011 @ 10:48 PST

If the jury was still out on President Barack Obama’s climate policy accolades (a huge “if”), consider the verdict now in, and from a surprising character at that: Marc Morano.

Morano jubilantly referred to the President as “George W. Obama” in an interview with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman at COP17, stating:

They [the Obama administration] have kept the exact same principles and negotiating stance as President George Bush did for eight years. Obama has carried on Bush’s legacy. So as skeptics, we tip our hat to President Obama in helping to crush and continuing to defeat the United Nations process. Obama has been a great friend of global warming skeptics at these conferences.
