"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."

I wish I could remember who said that.

The competition is quite stiff, but I think that line is my least favorite Obama quote so far (some of our bitter Pennsylvanians might feel differently).

As if collectivism isn't bad enough, he has to add knee-jerk Malthusianism to the mix. This quote caused the Wall Street Journal to suggest he was running for the Second Carter Term.
