OBAMA (Liberal view): We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times and -- whether we're living in the desert or we're living in the tundra, and then just expect that every other country is going to say, okay, you know you guys go ahead and keep on using 25% of the world's energy, even though you only account for 3% of the population, and we'll -- we'll be fine, don't worry about us. That's not leadership.

When asked by Liberal media guy Mark Smith at AP Radio "Why have you [Mr. President] not called on Americans to drive less and turn down the thermostat?"

THE PRESIDENT (Conservative view): They're smart enough to figure out whether they're going to drive less or not. The consumer is plenty bright, Mark. The marketplace works. People can figure out whether they need to drive more or less. They can balance their own checkbooks. I think people ought to conserve and be wise about how they use gasoline and energy, absolutely. But my point to you, Mark, is that, you know, it's a little presumptuous on my part to dictate to consumers how they live their lives. The American people are plenty capable and plenty smart people and they'll make adjustments to their own pocketbooks. That's why I was so much in favor of letting them keep more of their own money, you know? It's a philosophical difference: Should the government spend their money or should they spend their own money? And I've got faith in the American people.

How about the Mainstream Media (AKA: The Obama campaign machine) going to Iraq with your boy?

They can make some great campaign commercials for Obama showing him shaking hands with Iraqi children, and then giving a full nelson to some captured Al Qaeda guy. That’s Team Work!

I saw this too. That assclown Bill Applegate has talked about drilling here at least twice.
