Tonight, the armies of compassion continue the march to a new day in the Gulf
Coast. America honors the strength and resilience of the people of this region.
We reaffirm our pledge to help them build stronger and better than
before.
And tonight I'm pleased to announce that, in April, we will host this
year's North American Summit of Canada, Mexico, and the United States in the
great city of New Orleans.
Not surprisingly, it really says nothing, especially compared with the threats and concrete proposals he makes about the economy, stem cell research, etc.
On a related tangent, he also said this about the environment:
Let us create a new international clean technology fund which will help
developing nations like India and China make greater use of clean energy
sources.
And let us complete an international agreement that has the
potential to slow, stop, and eventually reverse the growth of greenhouse
gases.
(APPLAUSE)
This agreement will be effective only if it includes
commitments by every major economy and gives none a free ride.
Is he referring to the Kyoto protocol? Because I think that was the goal there, and he pulled out of that, so...yeah.
The whole thing frustrates me, to say the least.
