Condescending dickhead seeks to lead us

Our Secretary of Energy (a position that shouldn’t even exist) has some thoughts about Americans.

Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”

We’re not acting how the fascist progressives want us to act. Yay us!

The requisite "clarification" came a few minutes later:

Energy Department spokesman Dan Leistikow added: “Secretary Chu was not comparing the public to teenagers. He was saying that we need to educate teenagers about ways to save energy."

Sigh. Why can’t anybody in the administration get it right the first time? This Chu jackass "accidentally" called us immature misbehavers, but he really meant that the teenagers were the ones acting like teenagers. Or something.

Anyway, as long as they keep lying to us, condescending patronization is probably just a minor, expected offense in the big scheme of things.
