Obama: "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,"

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama set his sights on November's general election Saturday as he campaigned in Oregon, where he hopes to declare victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Obama has said Tuesday's primaries in Oregon and Kentucky could mark the end of his drawn-out battle with rival Hillary Clinton, and his campaign pressed home that message by announcing a symbolic return to Iowa that day.

Iowa was the scene of the Illinois senator's first victory in the 2008 presidential nominating race, and his campaign noted Saturday it is "a critical general election state that Democrats must win in November."

If we can afford it, why can we not "drive our SUVs, etc."?

The same reason we ban smokers. I don't want to breathe your pollution.

I guess you don't want the hundreds of thousands of tax dollars reaped from cigarette taxes. I guess you want working people with jobs in the auto industry and petroleum industry to be forced out of their pay checks.

Go hug a tree.
