Looking for COMPLETE Obama quote...on Energy

[hexola]

"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," Obama said.

Can some one point me to the complete statement - without the "..."

Cons are throwing this around as if Obama saying "You cant" means "You are not allowed"

1. The statement as it is doesn't mean "not allowed", see the "and then just expect" part.

We can't drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we're living in the desert or we're living in the tundra and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world's energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we'll be fine. Don't worry about us. That's not leadership.

2. Personally, I don't own an SUV and I keep my thermostat at 78 year round but

I guess I could cut back a little on the eats....lettuce anyone?

3. Yes, I've read comments about "gov't controlled thermostats".

4. It is clearly just spin... he said there is a price to be payed for our actions. Adults understand

that concept.

And I think it was just something he said "on the stump". Not a prepared statement (although I could be wrong)
