President Obama urged the public Thursday to think about trading in their SUVs for more fuel-efficient vehicles, arguing that gas-guzzlers keep the country dependent on foreign oil.
When you do decide to buy a new car, think about that were putting a whole bunch of money into the pockets of some folks who do not like us at all, Obama said in remarks at a town-hall meeting in Reno, Nev., referring to oil-producing countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Obama noted, however, that not all Americans can afford to buy a new car.
As gas prices continue to rise, Obama has made reducing the countrys dependence on foreign oil a major part of his administrations domestic policy agenda.
In a speech last month, Obama laid out a goal of reducing the countrys oil imports by one-third by 2025. As part of the pledge, the administration is partnering with major U.S. companies to transition their vehicle fleets to electric and hybrid vehicles.

Obama's caused far more fuel trouble than SUVs. How about ditching Obama?

Note to uhbama: Ditch the golf and start earning your salary for a real change (in your MO).
And a P.S.-get the hell out of our lives. I can't think of anyone who thinks of you as a good role model so quit the mini-micromanaging and just try to do your job without complaining.

We could always open domestic drilling and put the money in our own economy. But that’s too logical for Zero.

Keep the ride. Ditch the Kenyan hitchhiker.

Personally, I don't think it's any of the President's business what I drive, nor what any other American citizen drives.
He would do better to be concerned that American energy producers, of all types, are given better opportunities with fewer regulations and lower taxes. That would serve to both reduce our dependence on oil from other countries and to encourage jobs and economic growth here in the US.
I suppose that's way too simplistic for His Brilliance, however.

What he said.......
"...gas-guzzlers keep the country dependent on foreign
oil.".....What he meant...."...gas-guzzlers keep the country dependent on oil."
The left vehemently hates all things to do with BIG oil and would rather see the world burn without it.
