This endless electoral process, begun much too soon, continues. Oregon and Kentucky today. Clinton will take the “hard working white people” and Barack will take the elitists who want us to get permission from other countries before we drive our SUV’s, heat our homes or have a cannoli.
Is it just me, or is Barack not only saying stupid, stupid things (over and over) but he’s saying them badly, too.
“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.”
Stupid sentiment, but even worse, it was clumsily said.
And yes, we CAN drive our SUV’s, eat what we want and keep our homes at 72 degrees at all times if we want; it’s called liberty. And we can help other countries live like that, too – although it will be more difficult for everyone if the Democrats are going to sit on free trade.
Obama’s tossed-off comment was extremely revealing, which is probably why the mainstream press ignored it. It speaks volumes about the man, what he thinks about individual liberty, American sovereignty and governmental intrusion into our lives. His 34-word manifesto can’t be repeated enough.
I wonder how Germany and France, England and the rest of “old Europe” feel about the notion that they’re toadies if they buy air conditioners? I’m sure “new Europe” did not feel reassured to hear Barack’s stupid pronouncement. But I don’t get the impression that Obama is playing to Europe, these days, do you?
Meanwhile I’m going to brew up a nice hot cup of fabulous and decadently rich Mystic Monk Coffee – order some more for myself and my Father’s Day list – and maybe use my SUV to pop by the bakery for a pastry. I have to. It’s a matter of principle.
