Congrats #COP21 on the #ParisAgreement. The pact sets ambitious goals to fight climate change. As POTUS, I will hold the world to them. -O'M

While the #ParisAgreement is a step forward it goes nowhere near far enough. The planet is in crisis. We need bold action now.

POTUS has worked nearly 2 terms raising US climate performance, almost 200 countries unite, but not "bold" enough? https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/675774792121909248

@Kat4Obama Sanders is incapable of understanding incremental change, historic over time. His reflex is to whine & project bitter disappointment.

For a fella with an abysmal legislative record @BernieSanders, You should learn to be humble & grateful for @POTUS.

Bernie Sanders simply doesnt know when to be gracious or how to be respectful of others, which in and of itself disqualifies him for the presidency. He could not accomplish one millionth of what President Obama has done and only knows how to carp and minimize the work of others. Hes an irritating, petulant curmudgeon

[font color=blue] Oh and Bonus from the President and his Team..[/font]
How US negotiators ensured landmark Paris climate deal was Republican-proof
At 11.30pm Paris time, a small group of White House officials dashed into a temporary plywood hut in the exhibition hall where, a few hours earlier, a historic legal agreement to cut emissions causing climate change was secured. They were just in time to catch a live feed of Barack Obama declaring a turning point for the world.
These were the officials who helped set the US negotiating position for the talks or, perhaps more accurately, helped craft the deal according to US specifications in order to insulate Obama and the agreement from attacks.
When it came to Republicans in Congress, they wanted the agreement to be bullet-proof. That was no easy feat in a negotiation over an immensely complicated challenge involving nearly 200 countries, and half a dozen rival negotiating blocs.
We met the moment, Obama said in his address. The Paris agreement on its own would not end climate change, he said, but this agreement will help delay or avoid some of the worst consequences of climate change, and will pave the way for even more progress, in successive stages, over the coming years.
The rest of the fascinating story..
