WTF??

Under an Obama leadership, exactly what country am I going to have get permission in order to turn my thermostat above 72 degrees?

Who's fucking business is it what type of SUV I drive? Who's business is what the hell we eat?

Is this the "change" this scumbag has been talking about?

So much for freedom.[/b]
Point being that roughly 5% of the world population here in the US has traditionally consumed about 25% of all the world resources and now the other 95% are waking up, making a little more money and buying cars and eating twice a day instead of five times a week. I don't think you'll have to ask some country for permission to turn up your thermostat, you'll just continue to need the dough to pay the bills for the choices you make.

Free markets rock, right?
