Obama thinks we work for him?! (global warming, legal, speech, leader)

[Artisan10]

Obama:

“That's why we've taken bold action at home… by putting our people to work increasing efficiency in our homes and buildings;”

Newsflash: We don’t work for you, Mr. Obama! YOU work for us!

“…and by pursuing comprehensive legislation to transform to a clean energy economy.”

And we’ll keep our free market economy over your socialist “clean energy economy”, thank you very much.

I see...


You're the sensitive kind.

Have you got a link to the entire speech? Because taking out a sentence here and there without the context makes it difficult to know exactly what he meant.

So you don't consider the legal profession to be part of the private sector?

I do consider it, but I don't count it as "work"

So how about enlightening us all as to what you would consider work? And why you don't consider practicing law to be work.

The Associated Press: Text of Obama's remarks at UN climate conference

Now, as the world's largest economy and as the world's second largest emitter, America bears our responsibility to address climate change, and we intend to meet that responsibility. That's why we've renewed our leadership within international climate change negotiations. That's why we've worked with other nations to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. That's why we've taken bold action at home — by making historic investments in renewable energy; by putting our people to work increasing efficiency in our homes and buildings; and by pursuing comprehensive legislation to transform to a clean energy economy.
