During a rally in Roseburg, Oregon, this past Saturday, Barack Obama proclaimed: "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."

In his imagined future Obama assigns the American people the role of the poorhouse orphan beseeching Mr. Bumble: "Please, sir, I want some more." In his imagined future Obama aligns himself with Mr. Bumble. It's a remarkably strange platform for a major party presidential candidate to announce in the United States of America.

PAUL adds: "Yes we can" is starting to sound a lot like "no you can't."
