Aside from finally paying the bar tab at the U.N., U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama took the podium at the United Nations General Assembly to open the new session with a "Four Pillars" speech that will probably result in more of the same from the international body. Obama continued to beat the dead on arrival horses of communal responsibility and the need to set aside old grievances. Obama's Fourteen Points ... umm Four Pillars are:
1 - A world without nukes;
2 - The pursuit of world peace;
3 - Addressing global climate change; and
4 - Fixing the global economy to make it better, stronger, more equitable.
When it comes to fixing the world's biggest problems, Obama noted that the world's leaders are coming up short. While pointing out that this is not about him, he noted that even though America can't fix the world's problems alone, the world shouldn't use that as an excuse to do nothing. Which of course, it will, especially after the usual suspects have finished offering their rambling rebuttals on opening day.
