Today Obama was in Minnesota claiming that if we can save "only one child" it will be worth the effort (to pass more gun restrictions).
Seriously, this guy is a full on liar. He doesn't gives a rat's rump about saving any "child."
He favors partial birth abortion. That's where you take a needle, poke a hole in the back of the skull of a "child" (nearly born child and fully viable) and then insert a tube, suck out the kid's brains.
And he opposes the "Born Alive" legislation (that's where if an abortion fails and the child lives, the child can be left to die (and they are left to die) on the table or in some back room). Obama opposed any efforts to secure the now outside the womb and fully born human baby.
Obama favors car manufactures making lighter cars (to save on fuel). BUT we all know that lighter cars contribute to more traffic deaths (and child deaths).
So much for that two faced lying sack of donkey poo giving a rip about saving "even one child." He couldn't care less if a child dies. It's all political BS from him and his kind. Scum bag.

Artful Dodger: No... F1 cars are light by nature, yet far safer than a normal car. The killer is the SUV style cars. So much extra weight that they are harder to control and if involved in an accident more likely to kill more of those outside the SUV that are involved. Especially as a heavy vehicle is not so easy to control in accidents.
The people in the SUV type vehicle may have a ton of steel to protect them... That's nice for them but not for the other people involved.
Subject: Re: BUT we all know that lighter cars contribute to more traffic deaths (and child deaths).
(V): It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed. I'd put my money on surviving in the heavier car and the two lightweight autos all would likely be killed. Just a guess. I'll have to google it. Or bing it.

Artful Dodger: Now... cannot a car be well built and light. A gutted demolition derby car is light, yet the safety feature of the roll cage makes it safer than a SUV.
It's all a matter of how much safety is featured in the design.

(V): But you need weight for safety as well. Frankly I prefer telephoning but I can't get it to work for me. It worked for Spock. Actually, there is a science behind that idea and as I understand it, it's theoretically possible. But I'll be dead before it's perfected.

Shoot, we'll all be dead before ipads are fixed so that they won't change words in your messages.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built ipad vrs a well built ipad colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight ipad vrs a light weight ipad at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: I had a cell phone a few years ago that auto corrected my text messages. I had to disable the auto correct feature because it would never let me type in the correct word. Ironic it, ain't it?

Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built woman vrs a well built woman colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight woman vrs a light weight woman at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: "My wife auto corrects me too."
There's no way to disable that feature with, uh, that particular model. I've tried, so I know.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built woman vrs a well built woman colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight woman vrs a light weight woman at the same speed.
Iamon lyme: Yeah, I've tried. I even tried to trade her in for an updated model but that didn't work out too well for me. I sang soprano for weeks! Fortunately I'm losing my hearing and I have a strong "ignore" feature built into my brain.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built woman vrs a well built woman colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight woman vrs a light weight woman at the same speed.
Iamon lyme: I gotta go. I have to take out the trash, do the dishes, and vacuum. After I'm finished with that I'll ask the boss, er my wife if there's anything else I have to do. Then I'll be back.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: A certain amount of weight is needed, structural strength being more essential imo... or nowadays.. airbags.

(V): haha that would be fun. Wake me up in 100 years. I'd be like a cave man.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: You might wake up to a world where monkey's rule... Jay and Silent Bob style... not Planet of the Apes. lol
