“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.

He's right! Fossil fuels are outdated and only useful for those old industries that made this country the world-wide pariah it is today.

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!

For oil to be the "fuel of the past", there must be some other fuel of the present that is better than oil.

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.
