Title: Obama We Cannot...eat as much as we want.

"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.
Esentially what Obama is saying here is other nations now have a say so in our American freedoms. Other nations can now say NO to Americans...we are eating too much, driving the wrong kind of cars, staying warm in winter...

With Obama as President, Other people and nations can come into the US and tell us now to live? Not as long as the US is an armed society.

But this is blatant idiocy of the socialist left...They want the US subject to laws passed in other nations. such laws cannot be overturned.

I'm surprised people aren't going ballistic over this.

Hell, we have already had at least one Supreme Court Justice imply that they should be considering international law when making their deliberations.

Quote
Justice O'Connor, for example, has said that she thinks that "American judges and lawyers can benefit from broadening our horizons" and that her own experience on the Court has suggested that "we often have a lot to learn from other jurisdictions." Just last year at this meeting she suggested that "conclusions reached by other countries and by the international community should at times constitute persuasive authority."

I can't fathom why some so called Americans would actually vote for such a socialist.

Is the America I grew up in truely dead?

He may have us on this one guys.
He knows the Conservative response will be "**** you Hussien, if I can afford it, I'll do it"

He obviously has plans to make sure we can't afford it.

Perhaps he should have started with the Democrat primaries. I'm certain alot of countries will find caucuses quite distasteful. Especially considering other states have full voter participation.

A Marxist always shows his or her stripes - but don't worry, Hawkgirl, the Black Eagle WILL get his wings clipped by McCain, or maybe even Hillary and soon.

He just doesn't know when to shut up, the little whiney brat that he is.

According to one of Hitlery's operatives, they have something on Osama which will be like setting off a nuke when it comes to convention time, which will destroy any chance Osama has.

I doubt she will have that happen - But if such a thing exists, I'm sure it will be leaked to the GOP. Plausible Deniability.

So, how many SUV's does Oooobama use? How much food does he eat on the campaign trail? We know he left a half-eaten plate of waffles (there was a photo of it going around believe it or not!) and I bet he cranks the thermostat way down to his liking too.

I'll start believing it's a crisis when the ones who say it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis. (That is actually a global warming quote but works here just fine!)

well, the United States Supreme Court has tried to get the US to usurp European norms before ... I cant recall the exact situation, but wasnt Ruth Bader Ginsberg trying to get the court to adopt some ridiculous European law? She thought the laws were more progressive and that we just needed to accept that Europe was the leader, and we were the follower. It might not have been Ginsburg and was someone else - but i do remember it was a woman and she said European laws were better for America.

exactly.... when i see the 'leaders' of this movement giving up their second, third and fourth homes, and using a Prius for their only family car, giving up flying private jets, etc.... they might make some headway here.

but as it is, my carbon footprint is far smaller than any of theirs.

The people of these other countries live in poverty and squalor because their leaders are corrupt, and socialist/communist.
If these people are not happy with how I live, screw em! They can rise up, cast off their leaders and live in freedom like me.

I wonder if Obama doesn't think that the third world wouldn't want SUVs and ACs set at 72 if they could have them. Nothing is preventing them from having these things--except themselves.

People yearn to be free, I cannot throw off their oppressors for them, its something the people must do for themselves.

I am not prosperous because I keep the third world down, I am prosperous because I am free.

That actually refers to foreign law (the domestic law decisions of foreign courts concerning internal matters in their own countries), not international law (legalities of the relationships between nations), and she is fundamentally right about it having value as persuasive authority, which merely means non-binding and worthy of taking under consideration in the process of deciding issues where there is not some definite, binding authority in our own body of law, particularly in matters of commerce.  However, if I recall correctly, Ginsburg, Souter, or Brennan indicated a belief sometime in the past couple of years that the body of foreign law should be BINDING authority in American courts, which is totally unacceptable.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, Dixie, but I detect a note of skepiticism in your post here. That's why I went a-lookin':

It really irks me when politicians talk like this below. Now in Obama's case, keep in mind that thermostat he allegedly keeps at 72 degrees is in a "stately" $1.65 million dollar home. Quite a house for four people, looks like each has their own garbage container in this pic. Funny, I don't see a recycling bin. lol

And he dumped his Chrysler 300C for a Hybrid ... in 2007.

My, my, the Senator seems like something of a late comer to energy concerns, now doesn't he? I wonder why the change?

Obama:

"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.

Where was the leadership until 2007, Senator? Looks to me like it wasn't there at all, in more ways than one. Maybe it still isn't. He rides in a Secret Service SUV today, after all.

Oh, and I like Vaniila Wafers, but not those micro ones - they are made for toy poodles IMO.

The regular ones seem to hold their shape a little better.
