From a speech in Oregon on May 17th, 2008 BHO said...
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."
My liberal friends would say, "yeah, so?". First Barack spends a lot more time in SUV's than I do, eats much better food than I do, and I guarantee that he spends a lot more time in air conditioned rooms than I do. This reeks of classic elitism. The party members in the USSR had all comforts that the rest of the populace were not allowed to have. So if you disagree with President Obama you'll be walking, hungry and hot/cold. Second, what do other countries have to do with what I drive and eat and my thermostat setting? I know my liberal pals would say we live in a global village and we take too much, but the truth be told (and you won't hear this in your average university), we give far more than we get. We've given away for free our secret of success for one. Built hospitals, etc. Fed the world, given money. Far more than any other country. Given ours lives for the freedom of others and only asked for enough land to bury our dead. Other countries should be saying "thanks". Oh, and they are.
