“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.”

Remember this famous line from Obama’s speech during his campaign in Oregon about 8 months ago? I’m sure you do since after this controversial speech, he got a lot of criticism especially from those who have SUVs. I just wonder if he’d say the same now that gas prices have fallen down.

If you will recall, a couple of months back, gas prices were soaring high. With this, some SUV owners were left with no choice but to keep their vehicles in the garage so as to save bucks. A few greatly considered selling their big ride and decided to buy a smaller car, while others chose to keep their SUVs because they need larger vehicles to fit the whole family in, to haul supplies from the store to their home, to move items, and to carry their equipment for work or for leisure.

The high gasoline prices really created a big impact to owners of these gas-guzzling SUVs. And so when Obama said, “We can’t drive our SUVs…”, a lot of SUV owners resented him for saying so, most especially when they saw him riding in an SUV, right after giving a speech about the dangers of SUV gas consumption.

So, now that he is already the President of the United States, and with the gas prices down, do you think he’ll say the same thing?
