Obama criticizes Americans for liking 'cheap gas and big cars' more than 'the environment'

The former commander-in-chief recounted a press conference he gave more than a month into the oil spill, saying that his public comments did not adequately express how he truly felt.

Former President Barack Obama, in his latest memoir, criticized Americans for liking “cheap gas and big cars” more than they care about “the environment” – even during a catastrophic event like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The comments came during a section in Obama’s 700-page book, “A Promised Land,” released earlier this month.

On page 570, the former commander in chief recounts a press conference he gave more than a month into the oil spill – now considered one of the largest in history – saying his comments did not adequately express the frustration he truly felt.

Of course jetting all over the world to make political speeches and living in a $12 million mansion doesn't mean he likes the trappings of wealth more than the environment.  Being a hypocrite doesn't seem to bother him either. *****rollingeyes*****

Cheap gas, yes.  Big cars, not so much.  I'm looking forward to acquiring either a Mazda Miata RF or a Nissan 370Z once I've finished redoing my laundry room so I can put back the stuff that's supposed to be in the laundry room, but which is now taking up the second stall in my two-car garage.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

"Obama criticizes Americans for liking 'cheap gas and big cars' more than 'the environment'"

I guess that huge, energy-consuming mansions don't count...?
Nor an entourage of Secret Service vehicles whenever he goes anyplace...?

A big seaside mansion doesn't seem like a house for someone who believes in Global Warming

He's already becoming more vocal since Biden has been deem "president-elect".  Count on the SOB leading from the sidelines.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
