Comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it. Reread the statement by Obama, then look up the meanings of plural and singular personal pronouns.

IOW, we should all be doing what we can for the good of the country, whether that means we look to the emissions info when we buy our cars or look at the efficiency of the appliances we buy or anything else.

Socialism does not mean "something I disagree with." There is nothing inherently socialist about clean energy. My god, it's as if rightwingers think pollution is capitalistic and clean energy is communist. The nonsense spewed when Democrats are in control is mind boggling. Don't you realize you're being used as a pawn? Doesn't that upset you?

It becomes such, when discussion is silenced with statements like "the science is settled" and our president runs with it with like it's a mandate.
