I am sure the poorest of the world’s poor will save up to buy solar panels for their huts.

If a normal citizen went on like this, they would cart him off to the funny farm.

So down and down and down and down we go
Hurry my darlin’ we mustn’t be late
For the show
Right this way smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer.

Mebbe he should pack up Solyndra and send it to them as foreign aid. That should fix everything. He could even throw in his political cronies that lobbied for Solyndra - that ought to really take care of the turd world (if they’re cannibals).

I'd laugh at that but it might turn into another "foreign aid" program before 0bama leaves office.

Tell a big lie enough times, and people will come to believe it. Not on FR, though, the place I come to restore my sanity.
