From the man who likely never bought an new car in his life - that he actually paid for with his own 'money' he worked for.

People buy SUVs and trucks to haul things. Groceries. Kids. Lumber. Tools. Those needs don't go away just because you decide at your central planning board that smaller, more fuel efficient cars are better. The key word is smaller. MPG is just a socially acceptable cover story. Leftism is mostly size envy. The biggest visual displays that pain leftists the most is the size of your automobiles and the size of your home.

So all manufacturers (not just the automotive industry) should ditch their profitable lines to make politically correct products that nobody buys. What a (censored) genius! Another Win The Future idea! It's all good, comrade. Obama has a 5 year economic plan! Rather than worry about the silly old market, we're just going to enforce a better vision of what you should want to buy, on a timetable we worked up in Excel. It's waaay better than the messy old supply and demand thingy you simpletons have been working off of. Waaay better.

"...but as gas prices keep on going up, you have got to understand the market. People are going to try to save money." That's why I'd rather have one vehicle that hauls everything I need on the first trip.

Obama dictates that it will get better mileage that way, so it will. Got it?

I suspect I'm a whole lot more economical with my 15 year old F150 than some urban idiot is with his Prius. I go to town maybe once a month and combine all my shopping into one trip. The stores I go to are all right off the highway.

Everyone, take note of the word order.
You cant just make money on SUVs and trucks
Think about that. He's not giving economic advice. This is moral advice. He's trying to tell the auto manufacturers what is acceptable for them to make money on, not what is good for business, the market, or consumers.

He may as well have said "You just won't make money on SUV's and trucks. I won't allow it."

So, the Prez says night = day. What a shock. He doesn’t worry me nearly as much as the ocean of dumbf***s who elected him.
