Envirofascism, Barack Obama Style

In Barack Obama's Wonderful America, you'll be:

1. Stuck driving a car that's smaller than the SUV you wanted -- because Obama says so!
2. Eating less food than you'd prefer -- because Obama says so!
3. Too hot in the summer -- because Obama says so!, and
4. Too cold in the winter -- because Obama says so!

Think I'm making this up?  Nope.  Here it is, straight from Obama himself:

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.

I can't wait.  Obama is beginning to remind me of Jimmy Carter lecturing me about putting on a sweater.  It's the politics of Mild Deprivation All the Time.  The idea is that if we suffer enough, the rest of the world will like us.  Jimmy Carter's plan worked so well, of course, that a proiminent feature of the latter par tof Carter's presidency was America Held Hostage for 444 days, courtesy of Iran.  Thankfully, Ronald Reagan was elected president and ended that nightmare of a presidency.
