Obama on the Environment

I was lucky enough to be invited to hear Barack Obama speak at an environmental conference in Las Vegas in 2015.  I was amazed to learn how much he knew about the subject, and how disappointed he was that he hadn’t been able to accomplish more during his tenure in office.

He closed by addressing the audience and saying, “It’s you folks, not me, who are out there working every day to make sure this planet will continue to support life on a long-term basis.  I’m not the hero of this story.  You are.”

There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.
