Obama camp spies endgame in Oregon (Obama tells Americans no more SUVs or 72 degree homes)
afp ^ | 5/16/2008 | afp

Posted on 11/03/2008 12:33:43 PM PST by tobyhill

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.

How about if some of us invite brother George Obama over for dinner? Maybe even send him home with a doggie bag to feed the rest of the Obama village clan.

What a hypocrite.

BTW, how’s poor ol’ dying Granny Dunham “Toot” doing? She’s gonna get to vote tomorrow? Maybe twice?

“”We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times “

Obama’s new Citizens National Security Force, armed like the military will ensure that everyone complies with his mandates. Sorry folks, you will have to freeze/starve in the dark, it’s an order. The Messiah has spoken.

He’s 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.

Considering Barack’s attack on coal fired plants, no one with electric heat or heat pumps is going to be able to afford much heating.

Those in the Northwest who think hydro-power will save them forget about Barack’s promise to spread the wealth. Those with “Unfair” electrical rates will have them adjusted upward.

Yep, we'll get rations when he bankrupts the coal industry. He will force automakers to produce only low profitability compact cars forcing the auto industry into bankruptcy.

The more gaffes that comes out of this puke’s mouth, I sit in total amazement that the scum is going to win just one state. If you had a republican that came out and said he was for higher taxes, was for global warming laws, was anti-gun, against coal, against nuke, against oil, against fishing and hunts, thus against guns, for abortion, pulling out of Iraq, supported terrorists bombers, supported terrorist countries, wanted massive higher taxes, wanted a national gestapo police force, would take your 401k plan away from you and give it to the government to FUND THE ENTIRE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM WHICH IS GOING BANKRUPT, lies about his associations with known domestic terrorists, has a racist’s preacher, has a racist’s like Calypso Louie calling him the Messiah, made spread the wealth statements, against all types of oil drilling anywhere in the USA, was for much higher gas taxes, JUST how many votes would that republican receive FROM republicans and conservatives? He would not have even made it past the primaries. Yet, here we sit, on the brink of a person with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever to be president, with no experience of accomplishing one damned thing in his life, with no knowledge of how to run a government, can be this close to power in this Republic. Lord, forgive me, but I simply cannot tolerate or stand 50% of my fellow citizens anymore. I am for shipping them to Cuba.

We’ll see if there are energy shortages thanks to his disastrous policies. Then if the federal government makes some move to mandate how high or low we can set temperatures in our homes we’ll see how fast people who voted for him are screaming for him to be impeached.

And as far as SUVs go, it makes me laugh every time I see one with an 0bama/biden sticker on them. These drivers are unaware the Democrat party looks at them as the enemy because they are helping cause global warming?? Unreal.

If anyone believes the Citizens National Security Force is anything but a band of snitches is living too far in the bunkers...

But...

If anyone believes people like us will be allowed into the inner sanctum of the “hall monitor squad”, think again...

What will be neat, will be to see if this CNSF can be infiltrated by folks of our ilk...

Imagine the damage that could be done to the organization...

Think about it...

Luxuries (heat, light, food, travel) will soon be only available to the wealthy and those with political connections.

This is the whole point of socialism.

I put this statement in front of an 0bama supporter. She’d heard him say it, didn’t have any defense of it, but it had no effect on her support.
