LOL! I had the same “flashback” to Carter when I read Obama’s words this morning. Too bad about half the “possible” voting electorate wasn’t alive during Carter to remember the days of “malaise” and “lowered expectations”…

I expect though, these “self-rationing” pronouncments from Obama would ever apply to his wealthy contributors or even Obama himself.

God knows, Gore could certainly afford to miss a few meals, but there just isn’t an easy way to offset your appetite with “carbon credits”.

Hmmm…CARBO-credits anyone????
