"CLINTON: Well, that thats exactly what Ive been doing. When we met in Copenhagen in 2009 and, literally, President Obama and I were hunting for the Chinese, going throughout this huge convention center, because we knew we had to get them to agree to something. Because there will be no effective efforts against climate change unless China and India join with the rest of the world.
They told us theyd left for the airport; we found out they were having a secret meeting. We marched up, we broke in, we said, Weve been looking all over for you. Lets sit down and talk about what we need to do. And we did come up with the first international agreement that China has signed.
Thanks to President Obamas leadership, its now gone much further."

My lord, the concentration of self-aggrandizement and arrogance is astounding.
(I bet the Chinese just *loved* hearing her total disrespect, her imperial disdain)
And SCARY.
This of course reminded me of her "running across the airfield under sniper fire" bullshit, but it's more than that. It's pathological when combined with her drive for the presidency (which she equates with "president of the world"
and for absolute power.
Just scary. I so dread the future of the world, with the US swinging between Hillary Clinton's insanity and Donald Trump's venality for leadership, and with the bar so low Idiocracy can't even catch it.
A Hillary Clinton presidency will mean WAR, and such a scary turn to the right I don't like to think about it.
