President Obama begged voters to back his vision of an oil-free future for America.
There will come a day when we will wean ourselves from this fuel of the past, Obama proclaimed. Reliance on oil-based fuels has lulled us into lives of gluttony and waste. We have gotten soft because we drive when we should walk. We have gotten lazy because its easier to turn up the thermostat than to put on a sweater.
There are environmentally-friendly ways for us to live, the president continued. I see a future when mighty vessels powered by the wind carry goods and people to distant destinations. I see a harmonious communal lifestyle where body heat is more effectively deployed to warm our homes and work places. I see a people content to live more naturally, more humbly without the unnecessary frills we have been brainwashed to want.
Of course, creating this utopia wont be easy. The president acknowledged that sacrifices would have to be made. Right now, too many of us are hooked on oil, Obama said. Breaking this addiction will be costly and painful. My Republican opponents are seeking to exploit your addiction by offering policies that will make oil cheaper and more plentiful. But Im asking you to reject their siren song. Be strong. Help me build an oil-free future for our country.

“We have gotten soft because we drive when we should walk. We have gotten lazy because its easier to turn up the thermostat than to put on a sweater.”
“We” is wookie-talk for “You, Sukkkkah!!!”
Until an alternative exists that I can use now, oil is the fuel of the PRESENT...
If oil is, then coal, hydro and wind are, too. Same with batteries, the Egyptians used them. Windmills to grind grain and other things, hydro to give power for mills and electricity.
Moonbeams and unicorn farts are the fuels of the future, and Obama is busily sinking money into companies making his dreams (and our nightmares) a reality!

Sounds great! And that mystery fuel would be ?
Usually I spot these things as satire. With Obama, it’s not always easy to tell the difference.
