You “small people” will be thanking Dear Leader for his benevolence when he gets gasoline up to $7-10/gallon and you're all riding bicycles and walking!

The new focus on biking and walking represents a turnaround from the administration of President George W Bush. Mary Peters, transportation secretary under Bush, dismissed biking paths and trails as projects that "really are not transportation," saying they had no place in federal transportation policy.

Sure doesn't. There is no way I'm going to ride a bike to work in 105° Summer heat and 5° temps through deep snow drifts during Winter.

No kidding.... I didn't see any photo ops of Obama jogging or biking while in Louisiana recently.

He is spending money like an irresponsible 16yr old with Daddy's American Express Gold card.

LOL, she who shouldn’t be wearing thongs and tight pants. I suspect tho those pants fit OK until the O’s arrived at the WH and could order up whatever they wanted in unlimited quantities.
