Which above? And in what way did it resemble an Obama speech? And, come to think of it, what is the relevance of an Obama speech? Either what he (or anyone else) says is true, or it isn't. Either way, it is hard to see the resemblance of 'the above' to 'an obama speech' (has your keyboard no capitals?).
And, patently, the highlighted portion is nonsense. There've been times I could go, and times I couldn't. Knowing which is which is the trick. For me, "now" is a lot easier than (say) 5 years ago when my wife suffered far worse from PPR (pseudopolyarthritis), which is now much better. And 10 years before then, it was easier too. Aut tunc aut nunquam (now or never) betrays a certain lack of awareness of the nature of both tunc (now) and nunquam (never).
And, I still maintain, while sleeping in your car is cheaper than sleeping in a comfortable bed, it's still going to cost a lot to get your car to (say) India; to insure it; and to keep it fuelled.
Finally, remember that the chap in the original story does not, from the information given, appear to be perpetually on the move. In other words, many people are projecting their fantasies on to him without paying a great deal of attention to the facts.
