HAVANA, Dec 21 (Reuters)
Cuba accused U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday of being "imperial, arrogant" and dishonest during last week's global climate conference in the latest sign of deteriorating relations between Havana and Washington.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said in a televised press conference that Obama lied during the United Nations summit in Copenhagen and is making a habit of it after less than a year in office.
"He lies all the time, deceives with demagogic words, with profound cynicism," Rodriguez told reporters.
"In this summit there was only an imperial, arrogant Obama who doesn't listen, who imposes positions that even threaten developing countries," he said.

Although this is not shocking to those who know Obama's style, and tactic here in the US, it seems the rest of the world is now seeing the bloom come off the rose......
