Whether it's health care or cars, Obama knows best
Washington Examiner ^ | June 29, 2011 | Philip Klein

Having already passed a law telling Americans what kind of health insurance they must buy, President Obama is preparing to dictate what type of cars everybody must drive.

If Obama opts for the higher goal, it could increase car prices by nearly $10,000, and cost 1.7 million jobs, according to a study by the Center for Automotive Research, as cited by Popular Mechanics.

Not only do CAFE standards restrict choice, they can kill. A 2002 report by the National Academies of Sciences found that the increase in fuel economy standards in the 1970s and 1980s boosted the production of lighter-weight vehicles that couldn't handle collisions as well. As a result, 1,300 to 2,600 more people died in auto accidents in the year they studied (1993) than would have otherwise.

Whether it's health care or cars, no matter how unfair and outright dangerous its policies are, the answer from this administration is the same: Obama knows best.

This article is 100% a Bingo! Obama bloviates and makes stuff up on every topic, and never gets called on it.

When that lady asked if her 98 year old mom with a zest for life could still get a life saving operation, there was only one correct answer: That’s between your mom, her family and her doctor. But professor Obama couldn’t resist pretending he has a medical degree and immediately said the woman should be given pain medication and allowed to die!

All part of the master plan. Eliminate the U.S., destroy Israel and the caliphate will arise. This is his belief.

Obama's extensive knowledge on every subject is pure and unsullied by actual experience.

By way of comparison, Prince William and Princess Catherine will travel to (Canada's) Parliament on Canada Day, in this landau (with the top down), drawn by four horses, and escorted by Mounties on horseback.
