Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.
"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 OK," Obama said.
"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

The real “civilian security force” is the unorganized militia that is protected by the 2nd amendment.
Have no doubt, 0bama’s official “civilian security force” is intended to counter the militia.

Tony Rezko was ahead of the curve on the 72 degrees business, shutting off heat to his apartments in mid-winter in Chicago.
I was behind a woman in an SUV with an Obama sticker this morning...who seemed to be talking on her cellphone while driving. I don't think she'll be giving up the SUV for the general good.

Same with people living in huge houses that support 0bama.

"We can't...eat as much as we want...and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. ?????? I honestly don't know what to say.

I'll say it. Obama is the definition of a Socialist Dictator. He's no better than Castro or Chavez but it appears that a majority of people are dumber than a box of rocks and will vote for him. The Drive-by Media will be at his mercy. They will either report only glowing reviews of him or face jail, just like in Cuba or Venezuela, but they are too stupid to realize this and have now gone to the point of no return.

Obama wants to reshape the agriculture industryIf he is willing to "bankrupt" the coal industry over global warming, what's he going to do to the agriculture sector which "actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector"?
Don't forget about biden's EVIL corn syrup...

And how will Obama do this you ask - he will tax petrol and power so high that you will have to cut back on necessities. Third world ecoomy coming to your neighbourhood!

Oh yes, let's be LEADERS like we were for Zero Population Growth.
While "enlightened" Westerners limited their families out of ecological responsibility, third worlders continued to reproduce unfettered.
You can see how carefully they followed our "example." 0bama's heart's desire is to make Americans the slaves and America the natural resource mine of the rest of the world.

That sounds faintly familiar. “Our country is in a malaise.” I guess I’ll put on my sweater and check the misery index.

Love your tag. It is so true. I agree with you. I am so frustrated with the blind Zero followers. I can barely speak to them. I thought that Americans were smarter than to fall for his snake oil salesman pitch. Who the H*ll does he think he is? Oh yeah, the messiah!

So, can I drive my Dodge RAM diesel on M-W-F, and keep my home at 71 degrees and still not be sent to the Re-Education Camps?
What an @sshole this guy is. And I don’t care if he’s just preachin’ to the choir.

Hes right. No 72-degree setting on my thermostat. 68 year-round. And I dare him or anyone else (not counting the dear bride, of course!) to tell me I must do otherwise. 64F here. 66F if someone is feeling ill and chill.
