You can't say we weren't warned ahead of time about Obama's globalist and controlling tendencies.
As candidate Obama explained in a campaign speech in Portland on May 18, 2008, it would be tough for him to get together with the world's leaders and establish international controls on human behavior if we continue to carry on with our individualistic hankerings to eat cheeseburgers and drive things that are twice as big as the SmartCar.
"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 okay," he proclaimed. "That's not leadership. That's not going to happen."
By Obama's definition of U.S. "leadership," we get a seat at the table with the world planners if we bow to their demands in terms of what we buy and how we live, if we downsize in accordance with their centralized planning, if we admit our gluttonous faults and send reparations for all the effluence and global warming that our materialistic successes have caused over the past century.
At the White House, however, it's a different picture. Instead of guilt, global consciousness, and keeping the thermostat at an earth-friendly 60 degrees, it seems that Obama likes it hot at the Executive Mansion.

How does a person whose only job in life was as a community organizer become the most powerful person in the world? It happens with an uninformed public who spend most of their life in front of electronic games or tvs.
You call them uniformed I call thenm weak.
The problem there is the GOP is part of that circus as well.
Third party could decimate the two parties. Majority America is finally fed up with the exclusive but evil club the Democrats and Republicrats represent.
Not true the democRATS own D.C. now they make the rules and spend the money Obama & Co. have created one big a$$ mess for America, the next four presidents will have a hard time to repair Obama’s screw up’s.
Just think. After four years of destroying the nation’s economy, prestige and our lives they’ll, like the Clintons and Carters, rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties, pensions, ‘healthcare’ and fees.
I says we try to help them steer over that cliff, maybe put a brick on the accelerator and tape their hands to the wheel.
Oh, yeah, third parties have worked so well in the past.
No, fix the one we have and tighten ranks.
Top pic...is that OJ Simpson on the right?
LOL.
What is that a pic of?
I’m with you!
LOL! OK, thanks.
“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 okay,”
So if I understand, he’s saying we’ll be more accepted to the rest of the world if we become a third world nation. Well, he’s working hard to bring that about. I guess when we’re waiting in lines for bars of soap and carrying ration cards for health care and gasoline, we can be comforted in the respect of those stalwarts like Chavez, Qadaffi and Castro, but I’m having a problem seeing how that makes us better off.
That's exactly what he's saying, and doing. It's in DIRECT contrast to Winston Churchill (paraphrasing Abraham Lincoln and others), who said ...
"You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer."
"The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, ... Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket,"... "There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat."... "He's from Hawaii, OK?" explained Mr. Obama's senior advisor, David Axelrod.
Utter Bullsheet. Barry left Hawaii basically after HS. Unless Columbia and Harvard moved to Honolulu and nobody noticed. And after that the mutt moved to Chicago and didn't leave. Ergo his body would have acclimated to COLD weather long ago. Six months in NYC at Columbia would do it. And if he "hates cold weather", did he stop his 'community organizing' in Chicago when 'The Hawk' started blowin' in from Lake Michigan in January and February?
(-30oF Wind Chills do SUCK, so why am I still here?)(/s)
So no Axelrod, sorry wrong answer. The fact is he's a typical lying 'do as I say' liberal and a commie narcissist.
Can't blame third parties for the mess we have now...you know, the one brought to us by the GOP and Dems.
Does anyone recall the definition of insanity?
