This really is a radical government intervention of our lives. President Hussein wants Americans to use their cars less and use alternate methods of travel. This would be funny but Obama has a pattern of proposing radical changes in the way Americans live. This clearly is not the role of the President, but the Progressive Media machine loves this man and will never call him out for for this.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood remarked in May that his livability initiative[1] “is a way to coerce people out of their cars.”[2]When asked if this was government intrusion into people’s lives, LaHood responded that “about everything we do around here is government intrusion in people’s lives,” a sentiment that would have certainly surprised the authors of the United States Constitution, a document whose major purpose was to restrain government.
LaHood’s endorsement of government coercion comes as no surprise to those who have been tracking the Obama Administration’s incremental endorsements of the environmentalists’ smart growth strategies to slow growth, crowd development, and deter automobile use. And with LaHood’s most recent presentation, the Administration has formally embarked on an unprecedented and costly exercise in social engineering toalter the way Americans live and travel.
