Roger, The wronest thing I have seen you write. I was going to say “the wrongest thing you have written”, but how would I know.

Here is why:

Fuel effiency make the economy stronger. How do I know? Because if it didn’t we could make our ecomomy stronger by buying gas and just burning it. (Also fuel would be free.)

Increasing fuel efficiency improves national security. I would have guessed that you would agree with action that improves national security, but there seems to be a “unless President Obama does it” caveat in your support of America.

Lastly, increasing fuel efficency reduces CO2 emmissions which, the science tells us (at least the peer reveiwed learned journal varuiety of science), is probably a very good idea and long overdue.

Again lastly. He said he would do it. He won the election. Now he’s doing it.

So thats economics, national security, environment and political honesty, all pointing to the fact that in this instance President Barak Hussein Obama has done the right thing.
