Damn Marc - you can't exercise any of this vaunted "personal responsibility" and do your own research? Though I imagine anyone who takes metaphor literally will probably struggle with that.

Here's a hint - Obama wasn't talking about limiting how much food is served in restaurants.

Who should we use as a model for U.S. eating habits?

What's the issue Marc? Reading? Comprehension? Or both?

Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

"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.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

I see, kinda like Barry stopping and stuffing his face with a huge waffle and then leaves in a train of gas guzzling s.u.v's. Is that what your talkin about?

If someone really did roll on the floor laughing at anything and anyone all of the time I imagine a call to the men in white coats would be in order.

Again, I fail to see what the argument about what Obama has or doesn't have for breakfast has to do with his statement.....but then again, it's better to NOT try and understand that brand of logic....

I think I missed the point too. That statment is bold and could open a whole can of worms. However, the article really didn't expand on what he meant.

I guess it is both.

The U.S. has 4% of the world's population yet uses 22% of the world's energy resources. Can we expect not to be held accountable for this by the rest of the world?
