Pretty sad apology by White House spokesman Deese. His repeated references to US "leadership" are quite simply incorrect. I'm putting it politely.
Some in the US would like to lead. The fact is the US is crippled by know-nothing Republicans, lunatic "religious" figures, and outrageous business lobbyists.
Deese and the White House would serve America better by being frank about how they have tried and failed to lead. Cap and Trade, after all, is an American invention, dating back to work in California -- the settlement between PG&E and the Environmental Defense Fund (a Rockefeller front organization), in 1977.
As with Obamneycare, we find the left adopting the business originated solution, and unlike Obamneycare, a giveaway to the insurance industry, Cap and and Trade makes sense. It is silly of the White House to, uh, whitewash, America's failure here.
