CNN

Spoiled, sophomoric wannabes. Cocky, frat boy behavior in the style of George W. Bush. It really is obnoxious ... and ineffective. Makes me want to put 'em all in the time-out chair, while the rest of us grown ups put this country back on track.

CAN WE USE A TIRE GAUGE ON McCAIN TO MEASURE HOW MUCH HOT AIR HE HAS . I KNOW HE'S FULL OF IT, ALSO HE IS FULL OF SOMETHING ELSE, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

Yes, making sure your tires are properly inflated can improve your mileage and save you money. Ridiculing this idea is funny how? If this is what McCain considers presidential behavior, and this is the quality of advisors he appoints, I'm voting for Obama.

MCCAIN IS THE VILLAGE IDIOT OF OUR TIME !!!

Simple tokens of resolution addressing the energy crisis.......of course look who is distributing them.......McSimpleton.

Isn't funny that those who actually USE McCain's tire guages, will end up saving more money at the end of this year than any "gas tax holiday" or expanded drilling combined? We should thank McCain for finally doing something that helps anyone other than Big Oil!

Inflating the tires will help a little, but not to the extent that Obama claims.

Maybe Obama can just blow on it, he is full of HOT air anyway.

It won't get McSame elected but it's funny.

Well, I gave McCain my last dollar. No more contributions from me or my husband. This is pathetic, not funny, and immature. I thought McCain was supposed to be better than this. I have donated money to McCain every month, up until now. I am done with his campaign and will be voting for either a third party or Obama. McCain is not the man he had all of us believe.

Sorry McMelanoma, you should consider checking the air-pressure in your brain as well.

It really is pitiful, it seems the only thing the replicans and McCain camp want to do is mock Obama. Once again, the jealousy and pre-occupation with Obama is obvious.

I would very much like McCain folks to folcus ont heir own issues and ways to improve the country instead of putting down another...gheeez!

Does McCain even want the job anymore? Or is he deliberately sabotaging his own campaign?

This guy (McCain) spends so much time talking about experience making him so much better, while wanting to inject humor into the process. McCain, the direction of this country is an extremely serious matter, not to be taken lightly!

It is certainly not a place for elementary school name calling and practical jokes. All you McCain supporters can keep on laughing if he gets elected, keep on laughing all the way to the un-employment office.

My friend how about acting your AGE not your shoe size. I expect small minded juvenile behavior from the younger candidate not the older stateman's war hero. Is this what the American public can expect if you're elected, no plans, lots of puns, and a let them eat cake attitude? Thank for showing your true colors McCain. Bush dances in the rose garden while you laugh at your opponent. You really should work on the weekends, I would hate to see what you do on Monday's in the white house.

It is time for Mr.Mccain to stop TRYING TO BE FUNNY , CRACK JOKES. OR POKE FUN AT EVERY THING. It is time for him to get to the real issues that we facing today.We want to see real change in the direction the country is going in for a better future for all us.Mr. McCain put it out there , we are waiting to hear it.

I keep hearing McCain and some pundits say that Obama needs to "lighten" up and that McCain is just bringing "humor" to the campaign. Last time I checked this country was facing some of the toughest times in decades. Everyone likes a little humor but we need someone who is serious about trying to get this country headed back in the right direction and not a jokester. Bush had a sense of humor and was the "frat boy" that everyone would like to have a beer with and look where that's gotten us. This tire pressue "joke" just shows just how out of touch McCain is. Of course he doesn't want us to conservere more energy because it would drive down the record profits of his oil buddies.

That was funny.

McCain for Comedian of the Year 2008
Obama for President of the USA 20008

Why is the news always talking about McCain's distractions from the real issues. In 2001 Sen. McCain went on David Letterman and said that the Anthrax form America came from Iraq. Is no one concerned that our maybe future president used a serious threat to promote a war. A threat that has nothing to do with Iraq.

McCain is getting under my skin. Once again Obama says something truthful, factual and right on the money, and McCain makes fun of it. It's the Rove way, I hope it doesn't become the American way.

I don't get the joke. It IS a way to increase gas mileage. I agree that it's a great idea to point out the little things that EVERYONE can do to help the cause, and if everyone in the country participated, it could make a difference in overall consumption. These sniveling little attacks reek of arrogance on McCain's part (which is ironic because that's the label that Obama's somehow stuck with). I really hope that the American people will be smart enough this time around to see through this nonsense. The negative stragedy didn't end up working out for Clinton, so maybe there is some hope.

chuck LOL-

yeah he's GREAT at getting captured and letting his then wife fight his battles only to get free . AND when he does return home he marries another woman while going through his divorce, YEAH HE'S GOT LOYALTY AND ABILITY written all over him

Is McCain's false and childish adds going to work?

Yes it is already working.

Why?

In a country where 11% still believes Obama is a muslim, 26% believes he attended a muslim school, some do not the difference between Sweden and Switzerland, Austria and Australia what do you expect?

American electorates are DUMB!
Cannot separte facts from fiction!!!!!!!!!

it has actually been proven, that properly inflated tires CAN conserve gas, unfortunately not many people know this. also not driving with your windows down will help by allowing the car to run with the maximum in aero-dynamics. A/C does not burn gas as people had thought, that is an urban legend! Why must mccain's camp mock obama's ideas. i'm sure more people would listen to him if he had osme of his own!! oh, that's right... he has the gas tax holiday... what a bunch of malarky

OBAMA '08... ideas, innovation, innitiative

That is good... points out a huge problem in our country

Americans could save money if they were willing to maintain their cars properly...

When was the last time any of you checked your air pressure or rotated your tires with out the service guy telling you???

The post above was partially right... Obama is going to have a hard time telling people that they have to do things differently... he obviously has not gotten the memo that most of us are not going to change our behavior or habits!!!

It only takes a mortgage crisis, inflated gas prices, rising food costs, etc... for any of us to notice that there might be a problem... most of us just continue to pay as usual and keep on going!!!

My generation seems to believe that if you ignore the problem long enough it will just go away... instead of trying to fix it or take some sort of action!!

Well...I mean...Obama is right. At least he offered a concrete idea that does in fact save energy. Not much granted but more than not doing nothing. And McCain...well...he offers...er.......let me see......er.....

MORE OF THE SAME

I don't know what McCain's problem is. I don't know why he thinks this is "funny" or "humorous" at all. It just makes us look stupid. He is bad for our image around the world and he is apparently so far out of touch with reality that he doesn't know that proper inflation can give you an extra 5 mpg which is a HUGE savings when you multiply it by every single car on the road and every gallon of gas used by them. So McCain should just quit his pathetic attempt at humor now and leave the campaign to someone who is serious about helping America.

The ONLY way to help this country is for US as citizens to be willing to DO something to change. We can't wait for it to happen to us, because it won't. The only way change will come is if we make it happen. And it's time to make it happen.

Obama 08

It's really getting more and more difficult these days NOT to mock Obama. He just sways in the breeze and changes directions as often as the wind does. He wants to play in the big leagues but doesn't want competition or criticism. Well, good luck on that, BO.

The rethugs have nothing to do but criticize Obama. get a life a holes!

I believe Lieberman once said something to the same effect. Another misspeak from the Rethugs. Come on CNN, do some unbiased reporting.

Folks, Obama has no plan. His "inflate your tires" campaign, is just one more step in a much bigger plan to control everything you do, say and buy. As always with liberals, it's about central government control over what YOU do.

"What's that? You like McDonald's fries? Oh, no, we can't have that... we'll have to tax that for you."
"What's that? You like riding in a vehicle in which your knees AREN'T folded up to your ears, like a spider in a Matchbox car? Nope, no can do. That's not 'environmentally friendly.' We'll have to tax them out of the market."
"What's that? You like to drive where ever, when ever and however you choose? Nope, can't do that either... more taxes coming your way soon."
"What's that? You don't like swatting flies and sweating profusely in a mud hut? You can't simply just set your AC to a comfortable setting, you glutonous, greedy American!. We have to set it for you. How does "off" sound?"

GET USED TO IT FOLKS! Elect Obama and a huge Dem-Socialist majority and THIS is what you'll get.... not solutions to problems, just controls over your life.

McCain has no plan, only plan he has is to attack Obamas every move and word. How about that?

To Texas Trail Dog, Listen to another Texas what Obama had said you know it is truth in that air pressure to tires to save on gas. Obama got it right again.

OBAMA IS RIGHT--McCAIN IS DEAD WRONG. PROPER AIR PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES NOT ONLY SAVES M.P.G. BUT IT ALSO EXTENDS THE LIFE OF YOUR TIRES.

McCAIN HAS LED A VERY SCHELTERED LIFE. McCAIN HAS NEVER HAD A JOB-HE HAS LIVED OFF THE GOVERNMENT SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN..

So, obviously McCain excels at making snide remarks about others' plans, and his camp even spends hard-earned money on tire pressure gauges to mock Obama. And, to show the depths of your ignorance, you are mocking something (properly-inflated tires) which is a known mileage saver.

Where, I ask you John, is YOUR plan? Not just drill, drill, drill. How about a comprehensive plan that doesn't pander to the oil companies?

Each time I think you can't go any lower, you do. I am not a big Obama fan, but I can tell you, whoever winds up running against you, John, will get my vote. You can keep your air pressure gauge, John. Based upon what you've said and done so far, I'm sure it is innacurate.

Mockery is what you do best Sen. McCain. I have been following your campaign very closely, and the things that come out of your mouth about energy, social security, health plan, national security, and other social issues, are simply terrifying. Don't you read? think for yourself? Critically analyze socio-economic policies and their implications? Oh..right...why would you need to read? You have the republican propaganda machine.

I tell you, the Republican propaganda machines are worse than those fundamentalist Mullahs in Iran, Iraq, and other conservative countries. They would do and say anything to keep their status quo. I personally don't find much difference between those mullahs and the republican leadership. They are psychological terrorists!

Wait, wait, wait...Obama is right about this! What is there to mock???? McCain's campaign keeps "making jokes" to hide McCain's furious outrage about everything

So, is Grandpa Munster saying we should all run on flat tires now? If Obama suggests regular tuneups, will he come out against that as well? Seriously, is McCain nuts or do his supporters need to get out more?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! I LOVE IT! Keep 'em coming, McCain!

This is silly. All McCain can do is come up with silly, sarcastic attacks. He has no ideas of his own - we can't afford to elect McBush.

Some people must start drinking early in the morning,like the McKoolaid gang.

As usual, Obama is correct. Regarding the pressure in our tires, it does make a difference in gas mileage. So, where does McSame come off critizing Obama???

McSame has really hit the bottom of the barrel. Shame on McSame. Desperation is really setting in big time. I really feel sorry for him because I think he's going overboard with the negativity and it'll come back to haunt him. So much for the 'Maverick'! Maverick NO MORE!!! I hope he falls flat on his face.

That is their staple ammo. I am sure that won't work.

This is another sad day, I wonder how much money is spent for these ad Mark Salter, a top adviser to John McCain, gleefully distributed tire pressure gauges to McCain. I hope Salter know that Sen Obama was right making sure your tires are properly inflated” could help conserve gasoline this true. GO OBAMA

Mr. Obama, I remember those Jimmy Carter days......NEXT: Cut down those sick trees for firewood this winter. Wear multiple pieces of clothing. Trade your autos for bicycles.Eat high caloric content foods. Sit by the beach and admire those oil rigs.....

Is McCain 71 years old or 7?

mccain is a loser, mocking senator obama , and having fun with his tacky ads, i'm sure the ameican people don't find this amusing. mccain has no stategy so he's having fun at the american people expense. shame on mccain

It sounds to me like John McCain has hired a bunch of kids to run his compaign. I wonder how funny those "kids" would think this election was if they were shipping off to Iraq or Afgahnistan next month.

I ask again – and again, and again – what is McCain's position on Bush's doctrine of preemption?

Atleast McCain has his own plans for the off shore drilling
sure people are arguing that its not auto relief
but in 7 years the youth will be yelling at this youth for being brain dead for not doing so.

McCain is actually encourging people to help others save gas.

Obama's message: Change- change the gas prices so they get higher and higher while I make a speech about something and get voters!

Obama heard McCain's criticism of him on international policy, and so went to Europe and the Middle East.
He should now follow McCain's lead again – and give out gauges of his own. Obama has said repeatedly that this campaign is not just about him, but about all Americans getting involved. He can further that message while mocking McCain's mockery by doing this.

As for those who say Obama uses other's policies and claims them as his own – of COURSE! Every politicians, every policy maker has policies made up of the ideas and opinions of those around them. They become their own. Clinton and Obama could both say "this is my policy on X" even if its the same thing – because that is their policy on X, or whatever the issue is. It doesnt matter how many or in what order those polcies came out. Obama has never said "I invented this policy" just that it is part of his platform.

Well.......they better be prepare for their Convention and we'll see if they have enough tires gauges to give to the people that are gonna be waiting for them outside...

Obama is such an elitist. I doubt he would know how to check air pressure.

So, can anyone tell me what McCain is running on? Is he running to be the Jester-in-Chief? He really need to cut this crap out because his campaign hasn't done a single thing in the past 3 weeks that focus on issues that americans really care about. The only thing he has been doing is mocking and trying to bring Obama down because he has a vision of where he wants to lead us.

PS. It's great idea to make sure your tires are properly inflated to the proper P.S.I, should improve gas mileage, save gas and money.

OBAMA 2008 + 2012

McKeating 5 is at it again......more nonsense from an old windbag who can't put a decent campaign together. With all the money the RNC has–more than Obama, and they spend it all on gimmicks which will land them no where.

I can't wait for the debates, where Obama will tear McKeating 5 a new one. Also, don't try to fool us by wearing a wire like Bush did, I think they should be checked for earpieces and wires BEFORE they are allowed on the stage. John McCain is looking pretty ugly these days–not the kind of person I want to have represent me–I work to hard to see this country's name drug through the dirt again by the rest of the world for another 4 years.

Republicans OUT – Democrates IN.

Evidently, McCain's campaign thinks tire gauges is a good way to spend their supporters' money. They also feel that common sense coming from a presidential candidate should be mocked. Good to know.

obama is right about properly inflating your tires.. it will improve your gas mileage, and it'll probably save your more than any off-shore drilling plan, which won't realistically produce any oil until around 2030 and will only save the american consumer a few cents per gallon. seems that anyone who follows the news with a critical eye (like, perhaps a reporter??) should be aware of this already. how come this isn't mentioned in the above article?

McCain is going to literally laugh his way into the whitehouse... What a gift he's been given with Obama as an opponent...

Obama is correct and McWar is an idiot. So, what's new?

While keeping your tires properly inflated does conserve gasoline it is by no means the extent of Obama's energy plan. What kind of leader makes fun of proven energy saving techniques during an energy crisis: McCain.

Obama's tire pressure guage comment reminds me of Jimmy Carter urging us to wear sweaters and turn down the heat. What next? Eat a good breakfast? Since when do we need Presidents (and aspiring Presidents) to tell us the obvious?

Yes Im going to believe everything thing Phil Gramm says,NOTTTTTT

Out of desperation, at times arises stupidity.

if you people would turn your AC off when you are driving you will get more horsepower and more gas mileage, who needs affordable gas, when you can just inflate your tires. Cmon we cant get off oil anytime soon, we need to continue to work to a point were we can lesson our dependancy overtime, but just maitining your car isnt going to solve anything.

So, McCain's campaign wants to make fun of FACTS now?

Meanwhile, McCain is planting his magic beans and waiting
for his free nuclear power plants to sprout up all over the USA.

With all the real issues at stake in this election, how is this newsworthy?

Mccan's camp is becoming so 1st grade. Lets be real here I have gotten my car mantainance and I was told to make sure my tires had the proper air pressure to them because if not I would burn alot of gas and that is one way to save on gas until this high gas situation get solved, So way to go Obama

It's good, those pressure guages will help out a little. Keep spending those campaign dollars and give out more pressure guages please.

This senile will soon run crackers.LOW ROAD IN DEED!

The Republicans are scared there is no othere reason for all these Gimmicks they keep coming up with his Campaign is terriably ran and his campaign spends most of there time talking about Obama and not there canidate this is getting pathetic Mcshame= Bush's third term

To: Texas Trail Dog.

I've read some pretty stupid things you've written
on these boards, but this one takes the cake.

Right, this is Obama's ONLY idea for his energy plan.
Why don't you get yourself educated before you spew
worthless dribble every day? If you want to be McCain's
buddy, that's cool and all, but the junk you vomit into
your comments are ignorant, childish, and moronic.

I wish CNN would do a better job of weeding out the
truly worthless comments around here.

I see many drivers with improperly inflated tires. Not only is it bad for fuel economy (even a 5% boost is a good thing), it is better for safety.

This just goes to show that Obama doesn't just understand what's wrong on the macro scale, he understands (literally!) the situation on the ground.

You posters are ridiculous...

Senator Obama mocks Senator McCain all of the time. So it is quite a bit hypocritical to say anyone that mocks someone else is stupid, don't ya think?

Truth is, last week Sen. Obama said he would NEVER open up the leases to drill for oil, but at the END of the week, he said he was for drilling for oil all along.....what a joke.

Obama–change you can't believe in.

OK enough, it's time to take the gloves off and come at this geezer. Where is your plan McSame? That's right you're waiting to copy Barack's plan because you don't have one, other than giving your big oil buddies more tax breaks, like they need it. Keep that sense of humor John because you'll need it in November. Just when I think you can't stoop any lower you and your campaign find a way to be lower than a snakes belly.

FOOLS!!!! Obama is RIGHT! This is SOMETHING CHEAP, PRACTICAL, AND EASY THAT WE ALL CAN DO!!!!

Not every problem is all super complicated and requires acts of Divinity to implement. Sometime we can do simple things to help ourselves.

Besides, no one said this was Obamas whole solution anyway.

Quit with the distortions.

Obama is the smartest candidate I've seen in my lifetime. McCain can continue his desperate tactics. People are hurting in this country and he wants to make fun? It is sad to see the republicans resorting to making fun of the people that they are stealing the money from to fund this war.

Why can't McCain talk about his policies and stop this childish making fun of Obama. It is completely immature and helps absolutely no one...not even himself. If you want to show America that you are not just some old geezer past his prime...then you need to stop acting like a brat, grow a pair and start campaigning on what really matters. As this is unlikely to happen in our lifetime...I'm still voting for Obama.

I have laughed more at the Dems trying to justify his comments. You have got to admit it was silly.

The Dems are like the School Yard Bully. They can dish it out, but cannot take it.

LOL, LMAO, ROTFLAMO..............

This was great and even my Dem friends are laughing......

The McCain camp is so childish... He and his campaign have done nothing but childish and ignorant attempts to mock Obama for focusing on the real issues that we face in this country. I mean with this type of approach could we take this man serious. Could we depend on him to re-vitalize international relations torn apart by Bush with other countries? McCain really needs to get real and I hope and pray the people take a real good look at where we are at now and who is the right person to lead this country...

Obama 08...

i hope the voters are able to think beyound there noses when its time to vote. by the end of mcbush 1st term we will be equal to all third world countries . the only thing we will have to worry about is where
our next meal will come from.

One way to decrease demand and hence lower the price of the oil by finding new sources... but this has to wait almost 10 years ...

another way is to conserve.. this can be implement soon... one step is to maintain our car properly... why dont we ban all the drive throughs in our country.. I think it makes people lazy and burn more gas..

anyway conservation may not sound good to MCSHAME...

John ...

This is a real, tangible, immediate step that people can and should take that will have an impact on fuel economy.

By making fun of it, it show your sophomoric approach to LEADERSHP.

True the impact is small but combined with clean air filters driving 60 mph instead of 65, 70, 75, or 80 mph, drivers can have a real impact on how many gallons of gas we need. This is more relevant than your "psychological" , mind game solutions.

It is the fact that miles driven, and therefore gallons used, were reduced in June of 2008 as compared to June of 2007 that has reduced prices at the pump.

But these are simply the facts ... you GOP'ers only want to wave your hands and deal in fluff, like one night in Paris.

I'm an Obama supporter and I really want one of these! I actually think they are an excellent way of talking to people about real ways they can improve their energy efficency and how Obama stands for a real, practical and sustained energy policy while McCain wants heal the proverbial heroin addict by shooting them up with more heroin. The Obama campaign should buy these in bulk for the McCain campian and give them away on the street. So, where can I get mine again?

McCain's attacks on Obama:
1. He's too popular
2. He made an oblique reference to his race.
3. He gives good advice to consumers.

oh McBush, oh McBillary

all they know is to mock, kitchen sink politics, nothing of substance
dont know how to use the internet
they are just so out of touch... what do they think they are running for??

american idol
america can dance
or some other silly thing???

WE have issues in this country and those need to be talked about, and resolved,
we have serious wolrd wide crisis,
we have a recession
and what does McBush says: upity upity, paris, and britney
and what does McBillary says: i am not racist ,look at what i can do, i am in africa, with black peop[le

i am sorry they are morons... they all care about money and that is it.. ask McBush where does his millions come from?
ask McBillary where their millions come from??
wonder wonder

they will not show us the clinton foudnation or library funds
nor will mcbush show his tax returns and investments, deals with the oil companies

mcbush and mcclinton one and the same

While Barack is working to bring positive change to America, the Republicans are acting like children- the kind of bitter children who like to whine all time.

The GOP needs to grow up, and they'll have plenty of time pretty soon, because they are losing.

the Republicans are so smug. Obama is just giving an easy tip to help people conserve on their day to day life.... it saves us money and conserves oil. I don't get why McCain wants to make a joke out of it...... other than they have nothing else to attack him about.

Thats it, I'm sick of Mccain wasting his contributor's money that way. Unfortunately, I was one of those stupid enough to give money to McCain. But Obama is sure starting to look better. Much more professional and presidential than McCain. Its like McCain wants to lose this election.

Leave it to the McCain camp to mock something they don't understand.

Pathetic................these McCain ads are Talking DOWN to the adverage American Voter. McCain is comming across as an ELITISTS. How insulting to the average american voter !!! Lets hear about real things............how to solve economic issues, prevent foreclosures, long term health and energy issues. REAL THINGS OF IMPORTANCE. SHAME ON YOU MR. EXPERIENCED !!!!

This was the best.

If you say it, be prepared to have it mocked when it is that stupid!!!

I want one so I can save more ........

I have had it with McCain's negative campaign. The sad thing is that its working. He has risen in the polls since starting this bullcrap...

If McCain is president we will see darker days.

Ha, ha, ha, McSame answer to our problems is to laugh our way out of them.

Ha, ha, ha,ha, ha,ha, -somehow it's not working, our problems are still here. Did McSame just lie to me about laughing our problems away.....stupid me for believing him.

No to McSame!!!!!

Gobama '08

You know, if the Republican party spent 1/10 of their energy on ACTUAL IDEAS rather than smart alec gimmicks and excuses, they might be taken somewhat seriously.

As it is, they are making fun of something car mechanics would tell you is TRUE. And with that, you can pretty see why the Republican party is completely, utterly, absolutely clueless in this day and age.

At least you do not see Obama handing out miniature oil derricks and gas pumps to his supporters now do you...

these are the same people that mocked carter's ideas in the 70's. think how much progress toward energy independence would have been made in the last 30 years if we'd listend to Jimmy Carter all those years ago. But stupid bellitling jokes are a much better course of action, don't you agree? he may be in his seventies but older and wiser never applies to him. he acts like a seven year old playground bully.

Seems McSame loves the statue of liberty – here is what the stupid bribed MSM has refused to dig up or report to the american people since McSame accused Obama of injecting race into the campaign by predicting that Republicans would try to scare people by reminding them that he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills." As Ben Smith reported in Politico on Aug. 1, a McCain ad back in June showed Obama's face replacing Ben Franklin's on a hundred dollar bill and the statue of liberty!

They are running a juvenile Campaign Obama was giving tips that will save gas and that was one of the tips another of the Tips is to keep you windows rolled up on the Highway. Mcshame you are a disappointment to this County and will never get elected to office the person that claims he has the most experience is the one that is acting chlidish go figure!

When will McCain stop talking about Obama and start talking about himself (and by that I don't mean his POW biography)? If Obama is out of the picture, what in the hell will McCain do as president? What are McCains policies to get our economy on the right track, lower the inflation of the dollar, reverse the mortgage crisis, restore America to its good name around the globe, put American on the track to become the world's leader in comprehensive energy reform, fix our infrastructure, lower gas prices and the resolve the illegal immigration problems. Vague and unsubstantiated remarks do not suffice. Also, it is inane for McCain to make this allegation about Obama's energy policy. As if Obama's entire energy policy hinges upon the resolution to properly inflate tires. How does McCain expect me to vote for him when he has yet to convey what he will do (in comprehensive terms) as president? When will someone call McCain's ads for what they are; blatent lies. This is silly season for McCain's campaign. Imagine what his presidency will be like.

Making sure your tires are properly inflated DOES get you better gas mileage. It sats so right there in the owner's manual.

What DOESN'T save me any money, however, is senator McCain's Jillion Dollar Battery plan. What a joke.

So mock away, John. I hope your dozens of supporters are actually smart enough to figure out how to use those tire guages; they can help us save 800,000 barrels of oil daily.

More childish games from the McCain camp.
A Made in China tire guage. Just another cheap trick.

Is this what the McCain camp has reduced itself to? Rather than offer legitimate solutions to the major problems in our society, they sit back & criticize everything Barack Obama says. And this is actually what some people are going to vote for? Are there really people in our society that can be that easily swayed? If you're an Obama backer & see the "Obama is a rock star" ad, you suddenly become a McCain backer? Are you kidding me? Is that all it takes to change your mind? I hope Obama just sticks to the issues & doesn't stoop down to this sorry method of campaigning. I just can't believe that people would rather hear negative campaigning than listen to possible solutions to the energy problems or a resolution to the war. First McCain whines like a baby about all the attention Obama is getting, & then tries to convince us that something's wrong with it. I don't buy it for a second but obviously some people are & that's a sad reflection on them. But I'm sure it's not about race, though. Not a chance.

Rick Warren is inviting Barack Obama to the obviously Republican Civil Forum because he knows no one would care if he had just invited McCain. So in order to get publicity, he invited Barack, knowing he wants to push Republican ideas.

Lets sum it up....McCain has had an energy plan for the past year. Obama has finally come up with a crappy piecemeal plan.

Brian- Asking people to change isn't the issue, it's forcing them to change. And as for Chuck- Given the bigoted sentiment you just showed I'd be willing to bet that Obama and McCain have pretty much the same odds of making it to their 2nd inagural. There are just too many bigots who know how to shoot, and McCain is old. So pick which guy with a good chance of not making it you would like.

Dem's need a sense of humor, They cry and cry and cry when McCain uses humor to question Barack's credentials, but when Obama criticizes McCain with outright lies there's no cry for justice from the conservates.. Guess why, we have the ability to dicern truth from fiction, and Obama's vision is a dream world. Yes we can hope for change, but it will all be in Baracks head.

You cant make this stuff up, Obama is like a child with his flip flopping and when he comes up with an idea on his own this is it. To funny

CNN when will you call Mcain's campaign out on all the twisting of words, shifting positions and outright lying attacks? If someone actually reads the entire comment they will see this is yet another cheap unimaginative stunt on the part of the GOP.
Honestly if Obama did or said half the gaffs McCain has he would have been driven out of town a long tie ago. I realize creating the illusion of a tight race is in your best business interest at some point you need to start hammering the McCain campaign equally.

Properly inflated tires do help to improve gas mileage. There are lots of small things that drivers can do themselves to help conserve gas and save money. I don't really see why this is a point for criticism.

The reason John McCain continues to attack Obama is because he knows his own ideas are WEAK

Also, Proper Maintence (Oil Change, Tune-up, etc.) will Improve Gas Mileage.

Hey great, I can get a free pressure gauge. At least McCain is good for something– wasting money on handouts!

I know you RNC contributors HAVE GOT to be pleased at how McCain is spending YOUR MONEY!!!

I applaud the McCain campaign for giving away tire pressure gauges. If you don't have a pressure gauge in your glove compartment, buy one. It will pay for itself very quickly.

This one bears repeating.......

comment by Willow, from Iowa
"For McCain to make fun of that comment, just shows more of his negativity. His negative campaign is going to hurt him in the long run"

Apperently McSame only recourse is to mock Obama in hopes of fooling the American People to vote McSame.

No more negative campaining!!!!!! Focus on the issures McSame.

Obama '08

this is cute. This is the best idea McCain has come up with. It' sad that his best ideas are only to mock someone. His Idea on getting off of oil, foreign and/or domestic, is to drill for more oil. Why not focus more on trying to utilize and improve renewable energy instead of you main stay being more drilling, which is something McCain was against until he got backing from oil companies.

HA HA GET HIM MCCAIN CAMP. OBAMA AND THE DEMS HAVE KNOW REAL PLAN TO DEAL WITH OUR OIL PROBLEM. THEY WANT US TO INFLATE OUR TIRES, GET OIL CHANGES AND OH YEH THEY THINK TAXING THE OIL COMPANIES IS GONNA WORK TOO. NEWS FLASH JIMMY CARTER TRIED THIS DURING HIS FAILED PRESIDENCY AND IT DIDNT WORK! IF THEY REALLY HAD ANY PLAN OR INTENTION OF DEALING WITH THIS CRISIS NANCY PELOSI WOULD CALL CONGRESS, EXCUSE ME I MEAN DEMS BACK TO CONGRESS AND GET THIS HANDLED INSTEAD OF TAKING A VACATION. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE LAST WEEK. ALL REPUBS SHOWED UP TO VOTE ON AN ENERGY BILL FOR OF SHORE DRILLING IN CALI AND NONE OF THE DEMS SHOWED UP. WHY? B/C THEY KNOW THAT 87% OF AMERICANS WANT TO DRILL HERE AND NOW! OH GOD I FORGOT POLAR BEARS AND CARIBOUS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMANS. WHAT A CROCK! MCCAIN 08! HILLARY 2012!

Disgusting. John McCain and his crew stoop to lower and lower levels by the day. Still waiting for them to give the Americans they portend to love and care about so much something other than criticism of their opponent and cheap distractions from their own failing campaign

Seriously. What a joke and shame on anybody who votes for this shameful candidate.

Let's not forget that Joe Lieberman, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida Governor Charlie Crist have also encouraged drivers to keep tires inflated.

There goes McCain again waisting donations on dumb ideas. If i wouldve donated to his campaign I would be furious at the way hes spending money. He dosent have a whole lot of it and this is how he spends it. At least we know how he will spend Tax payers money.

Hurrrr...

Yes having properly inflated tires will conserve gasoline, however McCain's commentary isn't making fun of this fact. McCain is making fun of how Obama isn't offering any other solutions to the energy crisis.

This is fantastically stupid. I'm so sick of McCain's camp, acting like a bunch of little children. I'm not really a fan of Obama, but thanks McCain, you're making my vote swing his way with your immature behavior. For a freaking old dude, he acts like a such a baby; but what can you expect from a spoiled rich brat?

Chuck – good thing you dems aren't racists, but you're perfectly fine with hating on people's religion.

all mccain can do is make lame jokes and attacks, while obama is offering solutions to our problems. all they can do is poke fun at his ideas? lame mccain, give up now.

What does McCain stand for. All he is doing is putting down everything. He has no plans for anything. We get it he does not think Obama is not qualified we get it. That's how you feel. Now what do you stand for and what are you going to do for this country.

It's a proven fact that properly inflated tires saves wear and tear on your tires and also improves gas milage. What part of this doesn't the McCain campaign not get?

Childish, McCain, as usual. And your energy plan is...? Oh, that's right: it is paid for by big oil – the ones that got us into this mess in the first place.

This is very poor comments on part of Sen. Obama.
It shows how shallow he think about issues that impact middle and lower income people.

The McCain camp is starting to out campaign Obama's team.

McCains leadership is as good as Bush's. Never offers ideas or suggestions of how people can help themselves... instead "drill, drill, drill" is the only solution.

where can i get one of the energy plans?

Man, could you guys drink anymore of the Obama Kool-Aid. Now the Messiah would support drilling?? Wake up, The Annointed One is not who you thought he was.

I HEART OBAMA!!!!

OBAMA `08!!

More gimmicks from McCain. His policies are laughable.

having properly inflated tires is one solution in the overall scheme of energy conservation and it can bring immediate effects. Why is McCain against conserving energy and for more drilling again?

Unfortunately, mockery seems to be the bulk of McCain's campaign. He disrespectfully used the Hiltons' daughter even after they donated the maximum amount to McCain. Mrs. Hilton recently noted how inappropriate and unpresidential that type of advertising is, yet McCain continues to use Paris Hilton as his campaign folly.

McCain has disrepectfully used blasphemy for political purposes. The new ad continues to illustrate how McCain has accepted the negativity used against him in 2000 by bringing the Bush/Rove team on board his campaign. This does not seem to be what most Americans would consider respectful campaigning, as McCain had promised.

I am voting for positive leadership in this election. Obama '08

Victoria, Did you really just just do a "not" Joke?

IT TS TRUE THAT WHEN YOUR TIRES ARE INFLATED CORRECTLY YOU WILL GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE

MCCAIN NEEDS TO TALK THE REAL ISSUES AND STOP ALL THIS ATTACKING.

I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE OLD FOOL

Cue to picture of McCain energy plan.. the one that shows a bunch of blind workers digging empty pot holes all over with a gas pump on the background showing $12 a gallon gas.

YES, JUST LIKE MCCAINS TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR SAYING THAT WE ARE IN A MENTAL RECESSION..................... EVERY AMERICAN IS HAVING THE SAME MENTAL EPISODE AT THE SAME TIME.

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE...........

Oh, and one more comment as a motorsport engineer I speak from experience. Obama is correct, it tire pressure does have a marked impact on fuel mileage. Ask yourself this, when was the last time you acutally checked your pressures? Many people don't realize that their tires can easily be 5, 10 or even 20 psi under inflated without looking like it. So, for fuel mileage and safety check your pressures.

Wow John... still no plan of your own?

Good grief, can McCain get any more snide and petty? Let's hear something of substance from this annoying little gnome for a change!

He was framed as one by Obama and His campaign to nullify what truths Bill was speaking about the qualifications of Obama. They tried to do it against McCain, then retracted their comments when the were caught.

Time and time again, if you say anything about Obama your deemed racist or ignorant on these boards.

The race card has been used as a guilt tool by the campaign to make you want to vote for Obama despite his lack of qualifications.

His feverent supporters (probably paid bloggers) are so disillusioned by this guys celebrity that anything he says or does is justified.

Like a bunch of sheep off to the slaughter.

And becuase America chose wrong in the primaries, we are going to have another Republican in the White House.

Let's all remember what Lieberman said about inflated tires:

"Lieberman is on record going as far back as 2001 touting the significant role tire efficiency can play in any plan to reduce the nation's dependency on foreign oil. In a 2001 press release arguing against exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Senator said: "Increasing the fuel efficiency of replacement tires for our cars to the same level as those sold on new automobiles will save drivers $90 in fuel costs over the lifetime of the tires and will save the U.S. more than 70 times the amount of oil we might find in the Refuge."

McCain' campaign, same old politics, same lack of vision.

We have gages that are electronic now. I see you are still behind time.

If John McCain wins, the Democrats should shut him out for 4 years. Focus on sending Karl and his henchmen to jail instead.

McShame camp is tooooooooo dam dumb to not know putting air in your tires does help, now we know just how clueless they really are.

I find particularly insulting as a concerned citizen the mocking tone that has prevailed in the McCain campaign this past last month. As if it we didn't have enough problems and tragedies at home and abroad to be concerned with...

LOL!, yes... we can either drill for oil or use the Obama tire gauge, maybe even rig a sail on top our cars and trucks.

He is right about the pressure in our tires.
I work at an auto parts store and there are alot of MPG (miles per gallon) in properly inflated tires! Try it and see! Guranteed!

So much for McCain's vow to 'not run a negative campaign'

Typical, grasping at straws and making personal attacks due to lack of substance. Sad really

tire gauges!!! This is soooooooooo childish!!!!! Making fun and mocking every word that comes out of Obama's mouth. It make John Mccain look like he is the younger of the two men. In fact back to his days of being a child that doesn't know any better!!!!! I wish they could just lay out their plans for the future and let the people make their choice. This running down their opponent and only pointing out half truth and twisting words is unfair to the people who are trying to make the best choice for our country. It is so mind boggling!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes you NOT WANT TO VOTE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, don't look at the idiot in the White House and the fact that John McSame wants to continue his policies. Look at the humorous things the GOP is saying about Barack–laugh your way to the polls, and vote fo the same idiotic administration you had before.

Brilliant–dirty politics are alive and well. Thanks Karl Rove, your legacy continues.

Obama will lose.

Is McCain's campaign staffed entirely by 13-year-olds? Are the American people really buying into this junior high prank garbage? I find it shocking that, with these kind of juvenile attacks, McCain's numbers are what they are.

.....that does help. It's been proven.

Seriously, this is just getting childish.

Obama and Pelosi should meet in the swing states on the side of the road and test tire pressure to get votes.

Oh, but I guess that won't work, so borrow Hillary's ideas and make them your own.

Say no to the empty suit.

Still for Hill, but voting McCain!

To raise tire pressure a couple pds adds a mile or two, times millions of people doing it, is presented as just a small effort but none the less an effort in the right direction that makes a small positive difference. To open up off-shore drilling for some questionable small difference sometime in the future is also a small positive move, but when motivated by the desire to gain politically and to really patronize the oil companies, it isn't very impressive. The truth in both cases is that there isn't a lot gained but Obama presents it that way and McCain tries to get credit out of it. Take the deceptive rhetoric out of it and the truth is there.

How bad could it get? The McCain Camp must be real desperate… “Hey, let’s just poke fun of the competition instead of talking about the issues”.

Obama 08

McCain's campaign is really hitting the low road and is totally engaged in silly season politics. We've seen this all before from the republican playbook.

Enough Already!!!!!!!!!

Cast your vote for CHANGE.....Obama!!!!!!!!!!

YukYukYuk..What a laffer!

McCain, grow up. There is no solution in your humor.

Are these guys in highscholl still, really? No substance from this campaign just little juvenile responses. Very sad.

Well, OBama wasn't saying that inflating our tires would solve the energy crises; so, once again his message was taken out of context.

The overall message is that we allllll have to take part, on some level in ameliorating the energy crises. We aren't as stupid as you think us to be, as you hope us to be.

Having properly inflated tires will provide 10% better mileage on average.

Compare that to the 2.5 cent tax savings/gallon proposed by McCain. This "savings" would come directly out of money to pay for infrastructure which is not only necessary but also produces jobs.

10 gallons of gas @ would produce a savings of 25cents will inflating tires properly could save up to $4.00.

Reducing gas consumption is one way to not only save money but also a way to reduce the cost of oil due to reduced demand.

More childish crap by McLoser. It is a proven fact that proper tire inflation helps gas mileage. It is not Obama's energy plan, just something that Joe Schmoe can do immediately, like using CF bulbs.

I used to respect McCain as a moderate republican. Any lingering respect just vanished. The man is nothing more than the typical repub attack dog now with no solutions, just attacks. I'm sure he was "proud" of this little gimmick, just like he was "proud" of the celeb commercial that was chocked full of lies. Disgusting.

Proper tire inflation could help if you travel a great deal also slowing down some. What doesn't help is the mocking! Matter of fact i'm turned off by someone who does not promote any solutions. McCain would rather joke, laugh or mock what America is going through.

WELL IT IS NOT FUNNY THE SHAPE WE ARE IN! FACE REAL ISSUES. I DIDN'T LIKE THE JOKES ABOUT WOMEN OR BOMBING OTHER COUNTRIES AND I STILL DON'T.
REGRETLY THAT DOES NOT SOUND OR LOOK PRESIDENTIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To The Media:

Reporters are stupid. I'll never forget the last time the heat was on Karl Rove. He told George Bush to pick his selection for the Supreme Court (Roberts), and presto, chango-the heat was off of Karl Rove.

Grow up and report on the crimes against America.

O/08

I'm going to donate again to Barack. McSame can shove that tire gauger up his old, out-of-touch, flip-flopping, lobbyist-loving, Bush-hugging behind. He deserves that butt-whooping that's coming to him and his ilk.

Keep up the good work Obama. You've reminded us how little things like keeping our cars well managed helps. These little things add up, sort of like 2 million people giving $5, $25, or $50.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

McCan't is desperate. All he does is attack and joke around. It would be nice if he actually had some solutions to offer. At least Obama is on the trail offering real solutions, rather than mocking the democratic process and instilling fear into voters. McCain's campaign is a joke.

Cut out all of the negative crap,and talk about the issues... John McCain probably does not have any issues... All he can do is bark at Obama...

cnn at it again.no mention of the top mcsame supporters who support this idea.plus anyone who owns a car knows,if ur tires aren't properly inflated,u will burn more gas.

Way to lighten the mood, great timing with all "The Chosen's" whining about race.

I'm sure Obama will flip flop after seeing this... Calling on all American's to deflate their tires.

Johnny Mac "08

I guess McCain does not realize that is going to take more than just drilling on our shorelines. McCain's campaign at this point should be ashamed at its tatics, and I can no longer support this canidate. I guess that leaves me Obama.

cynical much McChimpy? I'm not liking the whole bitter, pissed off old white guy with nothing good to say routine. McSame is all about doom, gloom, fear, war and no hope, unless we want to be happy as slaves to big business and big oil. Its time for change and a president that can turn us around from the last 8 years....

Keeping your tire pressure adjusted DOES lead to better gas mileage. It makes a difference of several miles to the gallon in my Civic Hybrid. If every car in America could go a couple of miles further on every gallon of gas–it would constitute a significance reduction in gas consumption. If everyone moved to fuel efficient cars, demaind could be greatly reduced. McCain, as usual, is misleading the public. It's what Republicans do best.

Is this the same way you will deal with the leaders of the world? Make jokes of them. And you want to lead this country? Looks like the joke will be on you. Grow up little short man and stop wasting your donors money like your party wasted the country's funds.

By the way keeping your tiers at the proper air pressure and your window closed do increase your mileage. Even as a women I know this. You McCain is a complete idoit. Maybe if you rep. had put this much energy into solving problems maybe you would have had a better
rating for your party and the idoit Bush.

Thats pretty funny.

Obama and McCain are still bums.

What an utterly, inexcusably lame gag. Neither funny nor clever in the slightest, this ranks just below "BarakBook", which stands alone in its epic, Monolithic shadow of lameness.

Glad McCain isn't taking this whole running for president thing seriously. C'mon folks, he's treating this like it's a popularity contest at your local high school.
Lets crack some sight gags about what the other guy says!

Ignoring that Obama is right, and the effect that it would have on our country if everyone actually did all the little things that could help our environment, this is typical McCain style here.
Don't bother to offer up an original ideas, just mock and attack. Don't worry McCain...once Obama unveils his plan, you'll have a few days to copy it down and present it like your own...like every other idea you've had so far.

Yuk, yuk, yuk....those Republican guys are so funny–NOT.

They are such babies. They can win a fair fight, they have to talk about their opponent on a personal level. It won't work and they won't win.

When is Karl Rove going to jail for crimes against Americans?

O/08

The jokes on you McCain come November!!

Oh, c'mon, is McCain's camp that juvenile? Are these gauges a good way to spend the campaign's money? I think not.

Every single auto manufacturer, as well as tire companies, say that by keeping your tires properly inflated it will help with gas mileage.

According to McCain, his campaign staff and Sen. Leiberman, the Paris/Britney ad and the Moses ads are meant as "just having a little fun". They are not funny, they are demeaning to the entire election process!

Now they have the tire gauges. I hate to think what's next.

Stop with the attack ads and all the negativity. Get to the issues.

Childish behavior.

Obama's going to have a hard time with an energy plan that suggests Americans actually have to start DOING things differently. Living differently. McCain will score with a plan that suggests we don't have to change our behavior. McCain's plan will be very good for McCain and very very bad for America and the world.

Hey – what a prize – it will surely fool the fools that were fooled the last two elections.

McCain will die or get sick in office and his appointee (VP) will be pres. Deal with that one, you fools. You want a Jewish man or a Mormon for presedent? No votes on that one !!!!!!!! Just appointment.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am in the Republican Party. Because they chose a candidate without any plan or policy I expected an attack campaign, contrary to McCain's promise not to go negative, but this is middle school maturity and is a sad state of affairs in America.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! I LOVE IT! Keep 'em coming, McCain!

Funny ha ha. However, if our tires were at the proper air pressure, we could save 3% of all gasoline used in this country. that's a pretty good sum of gasoline saved. that really IS one way to save gasoline. People have been saying that for years.

For McCain to make fun of that comment, just shows more of his negativity. His negative campaign is going to hurt him in the long run.

Bill Clinton I am Not a Racist .........Bill– I love you and Hiilary always have and always will ...I know deep down in my Heart that you are not A Racist ...You know Bill during a Campaign things that you say or do are blown out of portion verse a normal day ......I don't believe Senator Obama most recent statement ...he does not look like the faces on a dollar etc was Racist ..if it had been said during a non Campaign period ....it would have been consider as a JOKE and it depends on how the Media jumps on it ......I personally think the Cleb Ad had a racial overtone .....the Media did not see it that way ....now it has been 4 days and the Media is still talking about the race card and Senator Obama , this morning it was discussed on Morning Joe ......make no Mistake the Majority of Us Love BILL

CNN, where's the picture of McCain's idea of his energy plan. You know, the picture of McCain's wallet-stuffed with cash, with SUCKERS imprinted on it !

The Obama camp should give McCain economics adviser a diaper for saying the American people are whiners

This will blow up in their faces. There are numbers out there that state drilling off shore will produce an extra 200,000 barrels of oil a day, while inflating your tires and tuning your engine nation wide would save 800,000 barrels a day. Which energy plan is immediate? and which will take 5 years?

This is ridiculous. It would save each of us money and use less energy if we did keep our vehicles in better shape and kept our tires inflated properly. The idea is to use less energy so we don't need foreign oil (another total lie McCain blew out–that Obama wants foreign oil) and we won't need to bust open our own protected coastline for drilling. Please don't listen to this hype, undecided voters. I hope intelligence prevails in this election. McCain looks like a moron playing the big bully who mocks the intelligent kid's well thought out ideas and plans because he is too simple minded to understand that the ideas are logical.

Besides offering more drilling area for big oil which has contributed 2 million dollars to his campaign, what exactly does John McCain's energy policy entail?

Gotta love a guy who has a sense of humor.
Pretty sure The Obamessiah will call the race card on this one too.

Johnny Mac '08

Ha! HA! What an idiot coming from a OLD man who has NO connection with the American voter except to come out with petty and silly TV Ads depicting Paris Hilton, Brittney Spear and using RELIGIOUS format and calls it all humorous. The only humorous thing about it is that is proves John McCain is nothing but a foolish CLOWN!!!

Hee haw!!!

Got to give him credit.

McCain may be old, he may be a stick in the mud–but he's sure got a great sense of humor!!!

More good natured humor, while Americans are suffering. This is McCain in a nutshell. He and his followers will laugh all the way to the White House. And when he get's there, we're the ones that will be crying. Or as Phil Gramm can say, whining.

O/08

At least Obama knows what a tire gauge is and how to operate one. And he knows how to turn on a computer, and what the Internet is. And Obama has the only energy policy that isn't yet another windfall for the oil companies.
McCain is old-school negative.... Old-school ignorant...and just plain too old for the job. He's lost his bearings.

this is what the mcsleezy campaign is wasting their money on... so childish. enough with the gimmicks, talk issues already.

How fun to attack Obama's energy policy while not having one. Way to go John McCain, another reason why we shouldn't vote for you.

does he think this will inspire the american people to put their trust in him

Bill Clinton I am Not a Racist .........Bill– I love you and Hiilary always have and always will ...I know deep down in my Heart that you are not A Racist ...You know Bill during a Campaign things that you say or do are blown out of portion verse a normal day ......I don't believe Senator Obama most recent statement ...he does not look like the faces on a dollar etc was Racist ..if it had been said during a non Campaign period ....it would have been consider as a JOKE and it depends on how the Media jumps on it ......I personally think the Cleb Ad had a racial overtone .....the Media did not see it that way ....now it has been 4 days and the Media is still talking about the race card and Senator Obama , this morning it was discussed on Morning Joe ......make no Mistake the Majority of Us Love BILL

Inflating tires is OBAMA's answer to the energy problem. Get prepared folks when small minded people put their brains to work on plans for our Government then you got to expect SMALL THINGS TO HAPPEN. Only in this case if this man with no ideals of his own gets into office we can watch an explosion of things to happen. ALL BAD.

It just shows that he is an elitist.

For being as ancient as McCain is, his campaign certainly is childish.

Does this mean, the American Dollar, would be worth 50c under Obam's Inflation spending...

WHAT OBAMA IS SAYING IS THAT WE ALL PLAY A PART IN THE ENERGY PLAN. THIS MOCKING ONLY TARGETS THE .......STUPID......... WE ALL KNOW BEING EFFICIENT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION. OBAMA GOT IT RIGHT AGAIN. HE SHOULD GO FURTHER AND SUGGEST GETTING RID OF THOSE BIG GAS DRINKING SUV.

OBAMA .......08

Regarding: Bill and Racism

This is so funny. Who cares if he's a racist or not. We can't look into his heart, but we can go by his actions.

He chose to compare Barack with Jesse Jackson, now why? There were other Dems who had won South Carolina, including him, and won the Democratic nomination. Why Jesse Jackson? Because Jesse is black, he won South Carolina but lost the Democratic nomination. Pure and simple. Bill was trying to say, don't get too happy because the last black man who won South Carolina lost the Democratic nomination.

Was it racist, who knows, but it sure smelled that way.

What's this man's plan??? .... all he does is criticize & whine .. time to get serious ... the problems we face is not a laughing matter ...

He doesn't drive, so doesn't understand that vehicle maintenance (including tire pressure) is crucial to better gas mileage.

All he ever does is ridicule and bash. He has no ideas.

He also wasn't a good pilot. HA He Lacks judgment, or he would not have been shot down !!!!!

What part of "conservation" doesn't McCain understand? Of course, more energy conservation means less profits for McCain's friends in the oil industry.

More idiocy from the McCain's campaign. It is a simple fact that properly inflated tires save energy. But it seems important for them to keep the Americans stupid and uninformed about simple facts and even though Americans use 25% of the energy (5% of world population), GOP would do anything to ridicule energy saving. It is quite incredible, considering the scope of Obama's energy policies, that McCain campaign could only come up with such a lame line of arguments. Always looking for the lowest denominator.

McCain camp can not do anything other than Mock Obama for anything he states or do... that is the snakey way the repugs operate as he has not a thing policy wise to discussed how disgusting.... once again big boys don't cry and old man should know better.... Grow up McSame and boys and stick to the issues.

the john McSame energy plan is: no conservation or maintainance of your car or tires; just PUMP MORE GAS!!!

WHY IS THIS NOT THE TOP STORY?

"Obama calls for giving 'full vote' to Michigan, Florida delegates"

WHY WAS COMMENTS CLOSED SO EARLY FOR THAT STORY?

WHY WAS THE NEWS RELEASED BY THE DNC ON A SUNDAY?

THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

OBAMA STOLE THE NOMINATION AND HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE RIGHT NOW. A LOT OF THINGS COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD ALL VOTES AND DELEGATES BEEN COUNTED IN MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA BUT THE PRESS IS JUST HAPPY TO TREAT THIS AS ANOTHER STORY. FOR ONE,

WHY DID OBAMA GO AGAINST FULL REPRESENTATION BEFORE? WHY WAS IT SO CRITICAL BACK THEN THAT THAT HAPPENED?

OBAMA IS PLAYING POLITICS AND THE PUBLIC AND MEDIA IS JUST LETTING IT SLIDE. IF HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE HIS WORD, WHAT DOES HE HAVE? HE HAS GOT NO EXPERIENCE. AND PARIS IS MORE OF A WASHINGTON OUTSIDER THAN OBAMA, WHY DON'T WE ELECT HER? THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

BRING HILLARY BACK!!!

I don't care who you are, that's funny. Hey Barack, "Why so serious?"

Just another example of how out of touch Obama is with the average American.

Does he really think people out there are dumb enough to be driving around with flat tires with gas at $4/ gallon???

I guess half the country must be, they are supporting him.

sad the republican party is making fun of this idea. Obama is correct. Always check your tires because it is properly inflated you save gas. AAA had this in their list for energy efficiency. Once again any suggestions that are made to help people save money the republicans laugh it off. In that case, Obama should mock McCain's comment in new orleans that babies who are dehydrated should drink boiling water. Now that is a stupid comment.

I have only one question??? Is this what the donors gave money to this campaign for?

Boy is this money well spent.

Why is this idiot even under consideration for office? He is now only able to mock and truly play far politics. I'm so embarrased that he is my Senator. Why is he spending campaign funds on tire gages? Any by the way, keeping your tires inflated is a pretty GREAT way to reduce your gas consumption, save a buck, and save the Earth. McMORON!

This is what McCain is doing with our donated money? Pathetic. I'll never send him another dollar!

Seriously, who wants these people running our country? Their whole campaign seems to be gimmicks, holidays, prizes, and character attacks. Maybe its because they're terrible at actually governing.

Oh my God! They are like junior high bullies...Just the worst type of instincts and behavior. Senator Obama, please try to remain positive in the midst of the worst type of trash and mud slinging.

Happy Birthday, Senator Obama. Many, Many more!!!!

Inflation???

I personally hope that John McCain and his campaign continue to make these rude, immature, and stupid comments. They actually went to the trouble of making a tire gauge? I find it hilarious that he is acting so UNLIKE a maverick and I hope that it hurts him in the end.

Fool, fool, fool...

John McCains gags are going to backfire. just you watch. He becomes more and more pathetic each day.

Well, our tires are always properly inflated and if we are saving anything I wouldn't know it. We still paid $800 last month on fuel for two vehicles.

Thanks Barack, maybe we save a few pennies. Gosh, don't know what I'd do without your expert advice.

For those of you (republicans) that aren't informed enough to know... encouraging people to inflate their tires properly is a good thing...

If everyone inflated their tires properly, we could save a total of more than a million gallons of gasoline per day. That's not enough, which is why it's only one line out of over 100 pages of detailed energy policy... but a million gallons a day is a good start for just reminding people to properly maintain their vehicles.

It's a shame that as old as McCain is, his campaign just can't seem to act like grown-ups about important policy discussions.

Actually, it's pathetic.

... the McCain low road hasn't bottomed out ...

Obama is playing politics with an important issue. He could care less about solutions. He's playing politics to win an election. Fortunately, it won't work.

Ironically, Darragh Murphy is no better than Barack Obama.

The question is: Are Pumas no better than Obamabots, nothing but mindless minions of Darragh Murphy in the same exact way that they think that Obamabots are the mindless minions of the Obamessiah?

After all they've done, are Pumas really nothing but Pumabots who want to believe that Darragh Murphy is the Second Coming?

I don't believe it...

You decide.

If this is not proof of how Stupid the McCain camp is, I don't know what is!

McCain has nothing left to do but smear tackticks. I have voted a straight republican ticket for over 50 years. NO MORE!!! I'm so sick and ashamed of the republicans!!!! I'm voting Obama and a straight Democratic ticket this year!!! Out with old and in with the new!!!

I don't care who you are... that's funny right there.

Obama 08... a Joke we can believe in!

Oh John McCain, You're such a riot.

It would be more funny if John McCain (Lord Siddious) had an energy plan of his own. Instead he has the Paris and Britteny plan!

They are basically making obama look like a blackface funny character whose words cannot be taken seriously....this is very sad

That's Funny!!!!

Now that is funny.....I guess what he means by "Change" is ensure you change your tires and positions.

McCain 08

It would be more funny if John McCain (Lord Siddious) had an energy plan of his own. Instead he has the Paris and Hilton plan!
