The (Ex) Washington Realist

Don't think this approach is going over too well at the climate change conference in Bali.

From James L. Connaughton, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality:

"And so, we will lead, the U.S. will lead, and we will continue to lead, but leadership also requires others to fall in line and follow."

An approach that is working so well so far in so many different areas.

Certainly not the sentiments that James Baker expressed a few months back!
