You missed the whole reason for his argument. It's not that he 'enjoys' his way of life better and thinks everyone should live that way because it's more fulfilling or something...

The reason he advocates living that way is because our current culture of competition and consumption is detrimental to the earth (which is what the summit was about); and with populations growing exponentially, things will only get worse.

We either need to greatly decrease our population, or change our culture.

500 years from now nobody will remember Obama and few will even the United States, but this man might be remembered as one of the all time great thinkers who I hope started some paradigm shift which will have saved mankind. A modern day Cincinnatus.

You, Señor Presidente, are a person in the history making, you spoke up in favor of millions. It is just a shame that shitty musics have more hits than this speech, but this doesn't change your validity.
