So Obama didn't really mean it when he said gas prices were too high? What was that - pandering to the emotions of the base? Shouldn't he maybe have said "By the way, folks, my intent is to make gas prices so high that you have no choice but to buy energy efficient cars?" Of course, that may be a little hard to do right now since rumor has it nobody can get credit to buy cars, and most people can't afford a new car anyway. So if you can't afford to get a new car, and you can't get credit to buy one, get used to the high gas prices. No matter how they kill you.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.-- Thomas Jefferson
