Amusing, he has changed his tune since the last time he told some guy to get a new car. Now he is getting down home and understanding...
"I remember before I was president the last time gas prices went up this high -- it's tough," he said. "Maybe you don't have the money to buy a new car that gets better gas mileage... I've been there. It hurts...This gas issue is serious."
Also of note was his commentary on investing in alternative energy:
In addition to monitoring the causes of rising gas prices, Mr. Obama said that it's time to put more investments in alternative energy sources. ElectraTherm, where the president spoke today, received $982,000 from the Energy Department last year for research and development in alternative energy production. The award was part of a $20 million Energy Department initiative to develop geothermal technologies
Forgive my skepticism Mr.President but it is hard to take you seriously when you are the mouthpiece for those heavily invested in alternative energy. I highly doubt you have the needs of the little people in mind here.
