Obama’s famous stump speech was a paraphrase of Weather Underground manifesto

November 2, 2008 By admin

Good catch, Nicholas!

Compare and contrast, kiddies:

Weather Underground statement, 1976:

“With 6 percent of the world population, the US consumes over one third of the world’s energy resources. The corporate myth of limitless consumption is based on control of Third World resources. The ruling class encourages a wasteful and reckless dependence on petrochemical products: high horse-power and excessively heavy cars, plastics and synthetics and nitrogen fertilizers. The failure to develop good sources of energy (such as fusion or solar energy) is not based on priorities for a better life, but on profit.”

Obama’s stump speech:

“We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine.”
