If the jury was still out on President Barack Obama’s climate policy accolades (a hugeย โ€œifโ€), consider the verdict now in, and from a surprising character at that: Marc Morano.

Morano jubilantly referred to the President as โ€œGeorge W. Obamaโ€ in an interview withย Democracy Now!ย host Amy Goodmanย atย COP17,ย stating:ย 

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 Bushโ€™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 theseย conferences.
