President Obama scolded “those of you who are buying gas-guzzlers” during remarks about clean energy at the North American leaders’ summit in Canada on Wednesday.
Obama said he viewed the clean energy sector as an “enormous opportunity.” The United States, Canada, and Mexico made a pledge to use clean energy sources to generate half of their electric power by 2025. Chuckling, Obama warned that oil was a “finite resource.”
“Oil is cheap right now, but it’s not going to be cheap,” Obama said. “I’ve said this before. Those of you who are buying gas-guzzlers, I’m telling you, because it is a finite resource and it becomes more and more expensive to extract, and people are taking climate change more and more seriously … So we’re in a transition phase, but in the mean time, technology is moving. And solar and wind and hydro and biomass and entire technologies we haven’t even thought of yet.
“There’s some 15-year-old kid somewhere who’s figuring it out. I don’t know whether he’s in Mexico or Canada or the United States or China … Somebody out there is going to figure this out, and I want that opportunity to accrue to our workers, our people, our communities. And whoever wins this race, everybody else is going to follow.”
And what does this azzwipe ride in? Photos?
But yet The One has no issues with flying around on AF1 at any whim.
He is crazed.
8 mpg and he is lecturing us.
What an effing POS.
Yep, many Democrat constituents are driving big SUV’s and Trucks with huge tires.
And why not talk to that Canadian Prime Minister about NAFTA and getting more oil from them?
The Lame Duck quacks through another day.
“Obama said he viewed the clean energy sector as an “enormous opportunity.”
For throwing taxpayer dollars down a rat hole.
The term “gas guzzlers” will apply to SUVs today, sedans tomorrow, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, lawnmowers, then RC airplanes by the time it’s said and done.
Is it just me?
Seems so painfully obvious.
Word soup. He is betting on an invention that hasn’t been invented. No deference to the laws of physics.
I really like my new Ford F350, V10, 6.8 liter, 362 horsepower beast.
How about having a red 1958 Plymouth Fury chase after him?
I’ll keep my gas-guzzler, thank you, getting 17 mpg. That’s over twice the mileage per gallon than Obama’s limousine. Plus all my driving trips are justified and not wasteful.
Ground AF1. NOW! whatta a$$clown...
How would you like to have this guy as your defense attorney?
I just happened to catch this, right now on replay on C-SPAN. Immediatly followng the gas guzzler unicorn lecture, he went on the “populist” rant. Rambling boob, it might make sense if I was stoned.
Who doesn’t want windows on the upper deck?
