Obamamobiles may kill Americans 'faster than Iraqi war'

Obamamobiles may kill Americans 'faster than Iraqi war':

"The Obama administration has announced an executive decision to raise the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards to 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016, four years ahead of the deadline originally set by the Energy Security and Independence Act of 2007.
And that could mean danger for many Americans.

Steve Milloy, the author of the book 'Green Hell: How Environmentalists Plan to Ruin Your Life and What You Can Do to Stop Them,' has argued that these new Obama administration-imposed CAFE standards 'may kill more Americans at a faster rate than the Iraq War – [President Obama's] signature issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.'

Moreover, by advancing by four years the date for the 35.5 mpg CAFÉ standard to be met, Obama is trying to outdo Jimmy Carter in a move that runs the risk of having his administration being characterized as 'Jimmy Carter II.'"
