There They Go Again: Obama Lectures Americans to Stop Using SUVs & AC, Then Hops in Giant Air Conditioned SUV

Americans for Prosperity - Americans for Prosperity Foundation :: There They Go Again: Obama Lectures Americans to Stop Using SUVs & AC, Then Hops in Giant Air Conditioned SUV
Turns out Sen. Obama was at the Mayflower for a $10,000-a-photo fundraising lunch, according to the Washington Post. So while he recently chided Americans to give up their SUVs, not eat as much as they want and turn off the AC, it appears that he yesterday enjoyed a fancy lunch with fat cat donors, then rode away in an air-conditioned SUV. (Which, in fairness, we point out is probably encouraged by the Secret Service because it's so much safer than compact cars like the Prius. Which is precisely why Sen. Obama shouldn't support policies that lead to higher gas prices and make it harder for average American families to own SUVs if they want the safety they provide.)
