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.

It is most definitely NOT a "Southron thing!"
Misery Index currently at 11.04% (I miss 1953; Life was grand back then before I was born...)
It’ll drop tomorrow after this Dog-n-Pony show is OVER. No, wait! If McCain wins, it’ll shoot up to 15% and stay there for the next four years, LOL!
If Obama wins, it’ll go down to -10%. We’ll all be in High Clover, Baby, and so JOYFUL we won’t be able to contain ourselves! *ROLLEYES*
If that comes true, I predict a lot of ‘friendly fire’ incidents, even if we’re not at war.
But that’s just me. ;)
I’d call them ‘slightly less than friendly” but concur.
I think those Souvrn'rs have no comprehension of the scale of things and imagine that if Nawtharners quit using fuel to heat in the winter it'll jus' all balance out like (lak) nothin'.
We can’t eat as much as we want, or other countries won’t approve?!?
Everything this guy says sinks to lower levels of stupidity!
When the last time was Obama told his children to go to bed hungry....for the sake of international relations?
