Oh my heck! I can’t believe this AP reporter is so clueless that he thinks that we, the American public, need someone to tell us to conserve gas by driving less. Does he think we go through life clueless until the government explains something to us? Does he think that we need the president of the United States to tell us to conserve and that we’ll magically comply? I wonder if he’s old enough to remember Carter sitting in the Oval Office in his sweater lecturing us to turn our thermostats down. I didn’t appreciate the president dictating to me what I could set my thermostat at then and I wouldn’t appreciate the president telling me how much I can drive my car now.
\nWe don’t need the president telling us to conserve we need to open up more avenues for drilling and we don’t need some pompous, elitist, clueless jerk asking the president to lecture to us. We aren’t children, we’re adults who understand that we have enough oil here in America to meet our energy needs if we stop allowing the environmentalists to dictate where we can drill. We want our government to do their job and stop standing in the way of our oil.<\/p>\n
