We, the American people, are children and need to be TAUGHT by Obama. Why? Because he and his cohorts are so much better than we are, so much brighter, better, educated than we, the American people. If they are so busy educating us, is it WE the PEOPLE who are in charge or is it them, the bureucrats.

Steven Chu: Americans Are Like ‘Teenage Kids’ When It Comes to Energy


By Ian Talley
