Obama Impotent

According to a UK op-ed piece.  I was intrigued and happy with the byline, up to a point, The disappointment with Barack Obama is tangible, and sad with the rest of it, on climate change and financial reform Europe leads while the US lags. Once again, just when I think I am going to find some commonality with our allies across the pond, they bring up global warming and the economy.  On that last point, is Europe really in a position to educate the rest of the world on how to keep a country in the black?  In the real world no one gets credit for coming up with ideas that don’t work, however,  they do still get a paycheck for them… congress.
