Barack Obama Bloviates On Getting Other Countries "ok"
Obama camp spies endgame in Oregon
Excerpt:
Huh? Since when did we have to seek other countries approval for how much we eat, what we drive, and what temps we choose to warm our homes? We are a free and independent country that does not seek out the "ok" of foreign countries for personal matters such as this, much less anything else.
And Obama calls it "leadership" to seek out the "ok" of other countries for that????
Excerpt:
Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.
"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," Obama said.
"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.
