Is Obama Channeling Marie Antoinette?

Is Obama channeling Marie Antoinette? You have to wonder. He tells us to get rid of our vehicles that only get 8 miles/gallon, that we can't expect to keep our houses at a comfortable temperature in the winter, that we just need to eat less and everything will be fine. Does that sound vaguely 'third world country' to anybody but me?

But let's think about what he said... Don't drive as much. Get rid of your gas-guzzler... ie Buy a new VERY expensive hybrid or electric car ("Under my plan, the cost of electricity would necessarily sky-rocket.")?

And are you supposed to do it on minimum wage? Or Unemployment? Or the reduced wages many have been forced to take because our elected officials have encouraged big companies to produce goods overseas (thereby enriching those nations and making us poor).

Oh, and rising gas prices affect more than just the ability to fill up your gas tank and go for a spin. The cost of food, clothing, house utilities, is going to sky-rocket as well. So, even if you have a job, the amount of money you have left over from paying ESSENTIAL bills is going to be reduced. Even the cost of non-essential things that many of us have become accustomed to (cell service, land lines, cable tv and internet to name a few) will sky rocket.

Is that part of Mr. Marie Antoinette's plan too? It appears to be.



I'm looking for the rest of the clip I originally heard from Mr. Obama and will post it when I find it...if his minions haven't already scrubbed it from the web.
