I'm sorry Dem08 but Hillary may be an important part of the party but Obama can't make her his VP she comes with to much baggage and well Bill but I would hope he would have a position for her in his cabinet like Sec of State.

As as for the McCain campaing how childish and low we always talk about conserving here in the country but so few do it and when someone other than and environmentalist talks about it when want to make jokes.

Just like the McCain camp to not do their homework they used Paris Hilton in and ad and the Hilton's donated the max to his campaing, still LMAO about that one.

The Obama train will roll over all the ignorant fools who refuse to get on it.

The smart and the educated poeple are voting for Obama.

The rascists will be blown away by the movement.

Who can be against Obama? God has sent him to deliver the people.

Ouch! Pay back for Paris Hilton. I love it! OBAMA /08

I once admired John McCain, probably about 8 or 10 years ago when he was running for President. He seemed to be a man of integrity and would speak the truth when asked a question. Seems to me that he made a "deal with the devil" a while back and was told that if he patiently waited his turn, he'd get a shot at the Whitehouse. The problem is, once he made that deal, he was no longer the man I wanted to vote for.

Obama is a breath of fresh air, not to mention someone who speaks the truth and he does it with intelligence.

Obama 08!

Go get OBAMA!
Giv'em hell!!!
Ignorant is only true if you don't fight it

OBAMA 08

During these trying times we need leadership and someone with vision, not someone who decided after 143 days as a senator that they wanted to be President - that's why McCain is our man.
He has the most comprehensive energy plan for the short and long term. He will keep taxes low and keep the economy growing.

Every time McCain responds its clear that he doesn't listen to what was said or can't hear

LOL

I love that the McCain campaign response was to change the subject to Congress being out of session, never mind that McCain has missed more votes this term than any other Senator. Just keep piling on the ignorance GOP.

Gobam!!!!

We will take this country.

The audacity of arrogance never ceases to amaze. This guy has the thinnest resume of any presidential candidate in history, yet he unabashedly and incessantly wags his finger and lectures everyone about things that he hasn't even begun to think about it.

What a farce on the American people.

PUMA!

Well … John McCain said that he was proud of the ads that they were making and the campaign that they were running. And part of that campaign is that flippant ridicule (and lying) about Obama's energy plan. So Obama is right that McCain would apparantly rather make gloating fun of a good idea, rather than promote his own ideas. What is McCain's energy proposal? "Drill now" isn't much of a complete plan is it?

Dear America, please all you single moms and all you teenage kids out there…and people working two or three jobs! Please please please check your tire pressure! That is the solution to all of our problems! If every American will check their tire pressure then we are all set!

Hey Obama, problem is…NOBODY DOES THAT!!!!

Bingo!

I was very upset this morning when one of the major news organizations said Obama's idea of proper tire inflation was "false." Yes, they said false. I thought this was a blatent lie to the American people who generally get their news from the big "3." On top of that, they encouraged Americans to go out and buy SUV's because buying a smaller more effiecient model will not save you money in the long run; yes, they said that to. Not only is Foxie news misinforming the public, that particular news morning show did it as well. I was appauled.

I have an idea of what the auto industry can do with SUV's… Do what they did to the electric car, serves them right.

I also think Obama should choose Hillary Clinton as his Vice President. I will vote for the Democrat, but I think the two of him together would be awesome!

Wow….I thought Obama was a different kind of politician. Sounds the same.

However, he does not have facts on his side. He demonstrates an amazing lack of basic economics understanding. Supply and demand actually work. When you punish the successful people, you get less success. When you tax something you get less of it.

White folks don't like uppity black folks.

Obama da man.

He will show you justice and righteousness.

Solving the energy crisis by checking the pressure of your tires is like saving for your retirement by making soap balls from used up soap bars. Sure, I guess in theory it could help some, but the benefits are less than miniscule.

It is Obama's self-obsessed view of the world which is "ignorant", and not McCain's spot-on comments.

Thank You Obama for saying that. BTW- I always knew that some people in this country are stupid, ignorant , racist pigs. That said, unfortunately, there are far more than I thought. Nothing like the first Black man running for POTUS to bring all the hater, freaks, and sheets!

John McCain is truly a moron. He is pushing drilling in a place that wouldn't see oil production for at least 10 years, and even then it would be sold on the open market and wouldn't help the American people, yet he mocks simple things that will reduce our consumption of energy. Wake up America, this old man is a phony and doesn't have the skills or the knowledge to run this country. It's evident in his lies and flip flopping week after week.

Senator Obama delivered a fully charged speech today it was a great come back for him. He spoke the truth and was not stumped by heckers who always managed to disrupt his speeche(s).

I think the best way to get back at McCain is by calling him out on his lies, and underminding tatics. Oh how quickly we forget that people are tired of this type of politics of the past it seems McCain has forget his pledge that he was going to run a honoruble campaign oops I forgot he has already borrowed page(s) from Bush & Clinton's play book these days it looks like he's taken the whole book(s).

American is ready for a real change.
We've had enough of Bush/McCain and their fear mongoring ways!

Obama for President 08

I OFFER BUSH & MCCONFUSED AS

EVIDENCE OF THAT TRUTH.

In the last 8 years the only effective thing the Republicans have done to lower energy prices is hand out those tire pressure gages and they did it unintentionally out of ignorance.

all I can say is wow! The republicans have stooped lower again…

Totally agree, ignorant and childish, immature all of the above

Thankyou President Obama. Please highlight the idiocy plaguing McCain's campaign. Instead of throwing poo all the time he should try and explain what it is exactly he plans to do. Such a negative little goblin he is.

Obama definitely is the king of stating the obvious…but many of his voters are so ignorant they fall for it.

I bet McCain's tire gauges were made in China. Somebody should look.

oh my goodness
these old republicans are really acting like choldren
naking up stupid stories
dont really care thou
OBAMA 08,12

Shoddy Journalism CNN…your headline here makes it look like Obama said "Republicans take pride in being ignorant." That's not what he said at all. He was strictly addressing his attackers, not all Republicans.

That's funny!! Last time I looked both sides hold the FIRST PLACE trophy for being Ignorant. We always act or look like we got somthing solved. Guess what Folks. The change, you all are asking for, is like when Bush ran in 2000. I'm better than you. I will do a better job. LookAT THE MESS WE ARE IN NOW, FOR THAT EXACT THOUGHT THEN. YOU GUYS THOUGHT HE WAS GOD- HE WASN'T. DOING IT AGAIN?uh!!

AMEN!

BHO "Energy Plan is so similar to Carters it is scary. It fialed in 1980 -1988 (repealed) and what do you think will happen if BHO is able to get it in? And now it is being reported that N. Pelosi is recommending Dem in congress to support off shore drilling if it will help "get them reelected" . This is no bull Check out Politico.com. Dirty rotten represenatives we have.

Yes…

That is the way.

These ignorant racist redneck morons can not beat us.

Barack is not a man HE is a movement.

You can not stop what God has brought.

Retribution is at hand

IS THERE SOME WAY WE COULD STORE SOME OF THAT HOT AIR THAT COMES OUT OF McCAIN'S MOUTH. IT WOULD RUN A DOZEN CARS FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR.

i think mccain should visit some energy experts, this is a simple qustion. how can we individauls help with energy then obama answer the right and truth answer but unfortunately mccain dont even knows about checking ur tyre can help us save energy just tell me mccain jugement.

The problem with Senator Obama's "tire inflation" statement was that he said that if we all inflated our tires properly, we would save as much oil as we can get if we drill….

This is another of his "misstatements" - another exaggeration - he was asked a serious question, and gave a dumb answer —

I happen to agree that we should all be smarter consumers (not drive the extra block, keep our tires properly inflated, etc. etc.) - However, I don't for a minute believe that will solve the problem… Nor, replace drilling as a part of the solution….

CNN, this headline is inflammatory and misleading! Obama didn't say "Republicans" - he said "these guys," obviously referring to McCain's campaign and its attack dogs.

You can't blast one candidate one day and the other candidate the next and expect us to believe you're an objective news source. That isn't "objective" or "balanced" - it's just sensationalism.

Change the headline to reflect what Obama actually said.

Good for you Obama. About time you strike back at these baseless and downright ridiculous accusations. Why are Republicans mocking something which could actually help save Americans on gas and money.

Republicans believe in the free market and they should be able to understand hat if cars are more fuel efficient then it will consume less gas thus reducing demand thus the prices should drop. So how is encouraging Americans to regularly check to see if their tires are inflated a bad thing?

obama wouldn't know truth if it hit him upside the head. This dog is a disgrace to the human race.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. It is a known fact that properly inflated tires will save on fuel. It seems McCain thinks the public is stuck on stupid and I hope that they're not falling for his gimmicks.

After everything, I have decided not to vote. It upsets me to be placed into the position of giving Bush credit for at least standing for something. I don't like that Obama doesn't stand by his statements. On the other hand, I can't vote for McCain either. I wish there were different choices available.

They did not see it coming during the primary.

They will not see it coming now.

The Barack attack is here.

The train rolls on.

We will overcome the ignerent fools that keep us down.

The vote is black this year and the country will hear it.

Sorry Senator Obama, I don't think they take pride in being ignorant.

Actually, "They don't realize just how UN-INFORMED they are"

I totally agree with everyone, especially Independent Latina for Obama. The reason George Bush was elected to two terms is because of Karl Rove's masterful playing upon fear based in ignorance. The scene described of the cashier's insistence upon the veracity of the tabloid story has played out countless times across the nation. The media plays right along, creating "news stories" about things that aren't news at all. CNN and the rest of the responsible media need to completely stop reporting on non-issues such as whether the Senator wears a lapel pin, etc. It only provides fodder for those who wish to remain uninformed about real issues. I cannot abide the choice of the person to govern this nation being based upon such idiocy.

It is in the interest of business to keep the customer ignorant so that they blithely continue to consume. Senator Obama's recommendation while seemingly trivial actually speaks volumes. Ours is a culture of consumerism, not conservation. Folks have the idea that it is their God given right to have as much stuff (crap) as they want irregardless of the needs of others or the cost, not measured in legal tender, to society or the planet. We hear GM, Ford, etc. bewailing huge deficits…well, d'uh! Only idiots who listened to George and his oil buddies and Madison Avenue for the last 20 years could not see this coming! Of course before he leaves office (only 168 days) George will probably try to push an auto maker bail out bill through Congress!

Most of America knows about the need to properly maintain your vehicle tires ie; under inflated roll-overs etc. etc.. It is a certainty that keeping your vehicle tires inflated is NOT yourhat he main thrust

I'm glad he's hitting back - Republicans are trying to define Obama as some sort of cartoon character. He needs to give as good as he'll certainly be getting. It's that simple.

AS YOU KNOW, IT HAS PAID OFF FOR THEM.

PEOPLE SEEM TO VOTE FOR WHO VALIDATES

THEIR OWN IGNORANCE, NOT FOR THOSE

THAT CAN BENEFIT THEM. AFTER THE LIES,

THE WAR, THE ECONOMY, ONE WOULD

LOGICALLY CONCLUDE THAT MCCONFUSED

WOULDN'T GET HIS OWN MOTHER'S VOTE.

THERE IS A SEGMENT OF AMERICANS THAT ARE

IGNORANT BY DESIGN, MO WAY AROUND IT.

PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT HE NEEDS HILLARY AS VP TO WIN; BECAUSE HE DON'T. If this country wants to heal, then any one as his VP will do. I am not a hillary supporter but if he picks her, that is ok too.

However, he does not need her. If your not going to vote for him because of her not being on the ticket or because he's black or any other stupid reason then either vote for Mc bush and mess this country up even more or just stay home.

this is the botton line
Obama 08 12

W00T!!!

Independent-Latina-for-Obama

WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT WE HOLD HOLY AND PRECIOUS IN THIS VERY PRECARIOUS WORLD, IS GOING ON IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS?

ARE YOU HONESTLY TRYING TO TELL ME THAT THE CHECK OUT CLERK ACTUALLY SAID THAT?

Dear God please help the American People, it seems that they are in a LOT OF HELP!

Can one person be so arrogant? No OBAMA!!!

Democrats for McCain!

I hate these racist fools.

Obama will deliver justice and wrath

Gobama

I love Obama! He is a very smart and clever man. He can get a dig in on the Bush idiots running McSame's campaign with a simple phrase. Even the talking heads are starting to question what is wrong with mcSame's people. Obama mets with the brightest and the best in all fields, McSame goes to the grocery store and scares small children. It's disgraceful to think that Americans are dumb enough to fall for any of this same old stuff being put out by McSame. I love the Obama ad about the same old politics, same old policies. I hope he keeps running that in every state until election day!

Hey, LIBERALS!

Time to grow up! I know it is trendy to bash the President but grow the #@%K up!

The US is under attack by a force that makes the Nazis look like nothing. Wake up and get to the real issue - Islamic terror.

Only the Republicans are going to fight terror. You can falsely accuse them of fearmongering or racism or whatever but in 20 years you will live in the Islamic American Nation if you don't wake up. They HATE us because we are not Muslim. Get it through your heads. It isn't because of anything other than that.

I have another awesome idea. The solution to today's healthcare problem is for everyone to go out and exercise.

To all conservatives out there: If the Administration, NASCAR and Crist said the same thing as Obama, please respond in a factual manner as to why he is out of step and they are not?

Please.

Please, CNN. Obama did not say, “Republicans take pride in being ignorant.” He said, as quoted in your article, “These guys take pride in being ignorant,” referring, of course, to the McCain camp as “these guys.” You do us all a disservice by choosing to use the word "Republicans" in your headline as it is deliberately misleading and inflammatory.

I saw the cover of the tabloids too, but even though we know it's a lie, the funny thing is, supposed instead the mag talked about a candidate who left his first wife and kids (who he was actually cheating on) after she got disfigured in an accident to be with the bud barbie. Well that would be McCain. All I hear is that we don't know enough about Obama, but from what I see, he is a devoted husband and father who spent his early career working for the underprivileged in Chicago. What do we know about McCain besdied the fact that he got shot down over vietnam. He was a lying cheating husband and father and last week chose to attack Obama by comparing him to Britney, Paris, Moses and Jesus, so obviously McCain can't have too much faith to be using religion to mock his opponent. Imagine McCain, who seems to have no respect for his fellow senator, mocking some of the other world leaders as president. He'll be starting new wars and losing allies when he starts mocking them for not agreeing with him.

Can't argue with that. Unless you're ignorant. Expect arguments from the right.

Thanks Obama. Now everybody knows to check their tires. What WOULD we do without you…

White people like to be ignorant. Pretends they don't see how filthy racist this country built on slavery be.

Black people be taking charge.

This country has lots of African Americans and we can barack the vote.

Now and 4ever

The problem for Obama is that his supporters are very mean spirited and want to "cleanse" the party of long time Clinton-base democrats and at the same time have a landslide victory. Obama is also very glib and corrupt. When asked why he voted for the Bush-Cheney energy bill in 2005, he states that it is because of the "incentives to alternative energy". The truth is that Exelon Corp of Illinois (a nuclear power energy company) influenced his vote with more that $269,000 in campaign contributions. The truth will come out in the months ahead.

Independent-Latina-for-OBAMA

Good point, it is really scary to know that people out there are getting their news from the tabloids.

That video is priceless.

Obama 2008

This is fun to read. But is something as commonplace as Republican pride in ignorance news? Isn't this the main reason Karl Rove worked so diligently to put President Bush in office?

GOBAMA! Speak the truth and hopefully the American public will be educated. I am so tired of hearing that we don't know who Obama is. He is a visionary - an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person with good judgement. What more can we ask for in a President?

Obama's tire inflation proposal has long been preached by environmental groups and auto manufactueres and is a fine example of part of the solution being something done by all of us for all of us, that helps both the individual and the community which seems to be lost on the Republicans who claim they want no governmental interference except when it is a governmental subsidy or no bid contract. The problem is one that has to be solved at both ends of the energy cycle.

Go Obama! It's about time that you put those ignorant comments to rest and place them where they belongned to. John McCain and the Bush supporters don't even have a clue about what's at stakes in this election, they take pride in destroying this great Nation about everything America stands for.

Everywhere that Bush went, national or abroad, it makes you ashame to have this guy represents such a used to be America. Voting McCain is going to be more of the same or even worst. Obama needs to stand up and tell it like it is. America cannot afford another 3rd term of these people.

The Sean Hannity, the Rush Limbaugh, the so-called the Chistian base conservatives, they are nothing but the ennemies of America, spreading their hates all over the airwave day in day out. They will prefer to see America sinks like the Titanic and can careless about the future of this great Nation as long they have idiots and ignorants to listen to them and consistantly looking for ways to derail America.

I believe in good conscience, the people of America will be wise enough to make the right choice which is vote for Obama. McCain 20th Century's ideology, it's not what America needs this time.

Now the McCain camp will accuse Obama of playing the ignoramus card. LOL
Truth is, proper tire pressure and engine tuning would save more oil than all the offshore resources you can find.
First McCain says America CAN do anything; then he says you CAN"T do anything without nuclear and offshore?
Look at Brazil! America is a top ten sugar cane grower. If the Asian countries copy the Brazilian model, the Arabs will be begging America to buy its oil.
The methane energy in sewage and organic wastes are being flushed away and thrown away.

What happened to freedom of expression in America? Let the sheep that follow the candidates around have their fun. Come on Barry and get a sense of humor! It will be hard to unite us all if your going to insult half the country. Obama and McCain should try to stay on topic for a CHANGE. Try talking about the economy, paying down the national debt, education, jobs, taxes, social security, healthcare, etc, and other presssing issues the American people have that the federal gov. should be addressing. The mechanics of my car aren't a national issue and why bother to worry about tire pressure if we can't afford gas to drive? Truth is neither candidate has a energy plan. The best example of ignorance are the two clowns running for president. We need leadership not two grown men going back and forth like kids on the playground.

McCain is groping for anything to use and even though his ads are negative and downright ignorant, people in this country listen…repetition becomes truth no matter how foolish (remember swift boat vets). Senator Obama needs to fight back even if he has to also be dirty. Go future President Obama!!

Obama said himself that he was getting more exposure than Paris Hilton. And what about the faux presidential seal that he has now abandoned. Frightful I tell ya, frightful.

McCain 08 !!!!!!!!

truly it does not surprise any for what Mc saying because old people like joking or smoking so they can jo9ke as much they whanty but they do ndot bring any thing to this country unless leading downword as Bush playing now over 300,000,000 people.

Hey, it's his gag.

It's called a sense of humor. Since when did Obama consider himself above everyone else? Please, take a joke and move on. I

Does John E. have a mentor as using same strategy or is there a club for cancer spouses that we don't know about that Mr 911,Newt and John all belong to .
The ones they cheat with seem to really know how to "work it" .

I am no expert on this but when i heard the…. air tires to save from new drilling offshore.. i went… CANT BE TRUE. After some thought, i did some quick calculations.
if 80% of oil goes into making gasoline, if 1 in 10 things on the road have tires underinflated, if 3% improved mileage.. then..
.80 X .10 X .03 X 20millions barrels used daily = 48,000 barrels saved.
I may be no expert, and my facts are just a guess, but i am not stupid enough to believe the ‘air them lies’.

Stupid white poeple keep black poeple down.

NOT no mure- Obama is the next president.

Suck it up… it is time.

Obama should quit

The issue is not about checking tire pressure. The issue is that Obama is trying to pander Iowa farmers by trying to put off off shore oil drilling. If there are no off-shore drillings, the gas prices will remain high and Iwoa farmers will make more money off their corn.

And the fact of the matter is that even if Pope himself ask the Americans to check their tire pressures, most still won't and keep their SUVs that take so much gas regardless of the tire pressure.

Political pandering. Simple as that.

Go Obama! It's about time that you put those ignorant comments to rest and place them where they belongned to. John McCain and the Bush supporters don't even have a clue about what's at stakes in this election, they take pride in destroying this great Nation about everything America stands for.

Everywhere that Bush went, national or abroad, it makes you ashame to have this guy represents such a used to be America. Voting McCain is going to be more of the same or even worst. Obama needs to stand up and tell it like it is. America cannot afford another 3rd term of these people.

I believe in good conscience, the people of America will be wise enough to make the right choice which is vote for Obama. McCain 20th Century's ideology, it's not what America needs this time.

My vehicle mfg. reccomends 30 lbs. in the tires.I have been running my car with 35 lbs. in them. I have ONSTAR and it moniters my tire presure at all times .The reason I do this I get about 20 to 30 % more tire life But I guess most everyone in America has quit thinking for them selfs They wait for some liberal politition to tell them what to do and how to do it
THINK FOR YOUR SELF

OBAMA WILL LOSE.YOUNG AND AROGANT DOES NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE.

Ignorant racist white people better STFU and not mess this up for Obama.

The Obama bomb is ready to denotate.

Thank You Obama for a clean campaign full of the TRUTH. The truth shall set us FREE from ignorance!

BlackObama '08

What we could tap (with the usual spills!) by expanding off-shore drilling
into protected environments could easily be covered by efficiencies from
correct tire pressue and regular tuneups. Any "plan" MUST include conservation. What in the hell is wrong with the Republican machine?
Are these clowns so short-sighted and GREEDY that they can't even momentarily put aside their self-interest long enough to do what is right for the American people as opposed to the "entitled" rich?

Agreed; I read an article about this on CNN yesterday that was very well thought out. It turned the RNC's attacks on Obama back on them by very clearly stating the facts, one of which was that drilling where they want to drill would provide 1% of our daily oil needs, whereas proper maintenance of cars and tires can save 3-4% yearly. It's sort of a sign of desperation on the Republican's part if they're grasping at such flimsy straws to attack Obama.

They are arrogantly ignorant.

No Obama, what is ignorant is that you think we can inflate and tune our way out of foreign oil dependancy. And as a FYI… automobiles manufactured after 1988 do not require tune ups!

Please November. …..Lets get this done!

This is true and i can only hope that more americans see the republicans false statements and manipulation of the truth and reject them all. We need people who are going to do the right thing to get this country back on the right track and that is going to be DEMOCRATS. As for HRC it is not going to happen so PUMAS if you truely believe in CHANGE then get behind OBAMA NOW. HRC has.

Sen McCain's handlers: You keep making fools of yourselves with such cheap shots. I can't imagine that anyone agreeing with your dismissive take on using correct tire pressure—some we can do immediately, and which will save at least two percent of our automotive energy needs—I can't imagine that those who believe your guff are going to be any new converts to Sen McCain's side.

You're really throwing everything against the wall, there seems to be no coherent strategy to move the country ahead, and you underscore the Senator's being out of touch with these lame attempts. That's the word on the street. Give your guy better support than this, or leave his team, for crying out loud.

He did not say "Republicans," he said:

“It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant,” Obama told a packed gym. “They think it’s funny that they're making fun of something that is actually true. They need to do their homework.”

Very clearly he meant McCain and his supporters, NOT the GOP in general. I am sure there are some very decent republicans out there that Obama has no desire to insult.

Get it right.

This is actually an example of the "bi-partisan" politics.
A democrat proposes and a Republican (sort of) implements.

Obama should actually thank john mccain for making his vision a reality and spin this situation as a positive.

Its true.. i checked with my mechanic. Tire pressure does affect gas mileage.

Why is it that everyone is so surprise that Obama is not further ahead in the polls? Isn't McCain the one with all of the years "Experience", knows how to win wars, understands most the needs of the American people, Why isn't he doing much better, why isn't he far ahead in the polls?

it's ridiculous that McCain acts like Obama has been going around preaching about this whole tire thing.. he said it one time, got it?

what would you proposed doing, McCain?

So true.

Here's the math - 3% - 4% savings for properly filled tires, at $3.70/gallon for gas that's like getting a .15 discount per gallon of gas.

That translates for me into a savings of $2.70 a tank, or put another way, I can go an additional 30 miles per tank.

Now, who's for the little guy? The candidate who puts forth a pretty good idea that every should do anyway, that saves oil AND saves you money, that doesn't cost you anything or raise your taxes - or the candidate that makes fun of the little guy trying to save a few bucks and do the right thing by lowering our dependence on foreign oil?

Put it another way, 3% - 4% savings in gasoline translates into about 3 million LESS gallons of gas a day used by cars if everyone checks their tires.

Now who looks stupid? Or senile?

The bullies of politics who look stupider every day…

IM NOT POSTING HERE ANYMORE!MCCAIN LOVERS!

The smart people vote for Obama.

The stupids vote for McCain.

Nothing can stop the Obama train.

African Americans are at the helm now.

Barack the vote… Barack the country.

The McCain camp has made me an Obama fan with their immature commercials and stupid statements, it is refreshing to see a politician respond with such maturity when the other side id behaving as if this was a high school election.

…I've been undecided for a while, waiting to see their professional personalities, but McCain has made me lean towards Obama.

Karl Rove spin tactics, this is what got us 8 years of Bush people.

Mc Shame get lost.

You old flip-flopper, nothing to offer.

I could not have said it better.

Black people are fed up.

Obama is the man

Don't mess it up.

The riots will be ugly if racists deny Obama the presidency.

His time- OUR time- has come.

This is OUR moment.

BOY o BOY
This soooooooooooooooooooooooo TRUE and its about time somebody called them that on NATIONAL TV

Yes, "These guys take pride in being IGNORANT"

Obama / Hagel 08

Oh come on.. do we need a president to tell us common sense tactics like keeping our tires inflated? DRILL OFFSHORE NOW!!!

If McDummy and his ignorant cohorts ever bothered to do that little thing called research, they would know that keeping your tires full and getting regular maintenance DOES save gas. Who actually promotes this idea? Not tree huggers-NASCAR! Repubs should have at least known this. I have a co-worker who treats Fox like its gospel, and she wonders why she can't get a freakin' promo!

Now if the Republicans had called Democrats common-sense ignorant that would have been a fact!

This is exactly the reason McCain will lose in November. He seems to be a pretty serious guy on most issues whether you agree with him or not. However, his campaign is being run by a bunch of children. With the Britney Spears ad and now making fun of something that actually does work in practice, they are showing lack of leadership. I expect more from McCain. He needs to clean house in his campaign and start tackling real issues instead of making up phantom issues and strawmen to kick down.

PS: Agree with first commenter. Hillary would be a good second in command.

…and Time magazine recently did some number crunching and concluded that Obama has it right. I can't wait until someone with some basic common sense, sound judgment and strong leadership qualities is at the helm of this floundering country.

Obama ,08~REAL change we can believe in.

I'VE GOT MY NEW NAME FOR RUSH, LIMBAUGH THE CLOWN…..LMAO. I JUST FREAKING LOVE IT. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Unfortunately a vast amount of the American people are too stupid to realize that what Obama said is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About the only things that can be done to immediately reduce gas usage, outside of driving less, is to inflate your tires properly and get a tune up. GEEEEEEEEEE just imagine if the American people would get off their butts and actually do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and yet you neocons laugh at it and continue to blindly follow your Fuherer and Fuherer wantabee - McSame.

Opening up the oil reserves would lower gas price, but also encourage gas use.

Just like a tax holiday.

Thanks, Obama, for this bit of a comprehensive approach to energy solutions.

Oh, wait. Didn't Hillary and McCain said that tax holiday was just a small bit of the solution, too?

I just do not understand Obama.

The energy equation will require both conservation and new development to meet future demand. We can not save 3-4% of gasoline consumption by filling our tires, and expect to have future energy supplies. Obama stated that we do not need to drill, because we can get the same energy from filling our tires and getting tune-ups.

I am glad that ten years ago, someone had the talents and skills and
resources to start the drilling programs that are supplying us with oil/gas/energy today.

McCain's message combines conservation (turn off the lights) with increasing supply (drill offshore).

Obama's message asks you to stick your head in the sand, and accept higher prices because it fits his agenda for an oil-free world that runs on sunshine and hot air.

Get em Obama! It is ignorant to mock an idea that automakers, mechanics and anyone with half an ounce of common sense already knows is true. Maybe John McCain's campaign are purposely doing this silly stuff to appear young and hip but it's not befitting a presidential candidate. And it's certainly not befitting to offer up your wife as a possible contestant in a bare breast contest.

Shame on you John McCain!

The election results are up to the African Americans.

Without our support NO candidate will ever win.

Black is here

Obama said that McCain needs to do his homework. As a teacher, I would keep him in for recess because he certainly has a lot to learn. This is why he misspeaks on the campaign trail. One time I thought that it was only Alzheimers, but now I know that it is the lack of knowledge coupled with Alzheimers. We certainly cannot have someone like this as our next President. Scary thought!!

Obama 08

It never ceases to amaze me how anti-Obama people (Democrates and Republicans alike) try to make Obama seem as though he is clueless and then something all of a sudden happens to show that he was the only one clued in! Just to name a few:
1. Gas Tax holiday
2. Afghanistan
3. Proper tire infllation (along with other smart driving tips)

No, "ignorance" is Obama's comical vacillation on nuclear power and off-shore drilling. He adamantly opposed nuclear power, but now only opposes it unless it can be made "safe" (because I'm SURE everyone was just DYING to build an "unsafe" reactor). He ridiculed off-shore drilling with a stream of sarcastic dismissals, and then - after polls favored McCain on the issue - decided that off-shore drilling is okay. The man has almost no principle or policy stance that he isn't willing to compromise to get in office. That's the ONLY change we can believe in.

That headline is misleading (imagine that with the media towards Obama). Barack said "these guys" directing misguided attacks at him, not Republicans in general. Obama actually appeals to some Republicans who understand his insightful proposals. Obama '08

It's nice to know that Obama alienates 50 percent of the country by calling them ignorant. Way to go.

Time for black folk to show the ignorant black folk a thing or two.

Do NOT block Obama.

Our time has come.

You ignorant, moronic, inbred racist fools.

Obama is not a guy to roll over and let the GOP attack dogs spew ignorant, ridiculous remarks. The debates are going to be SWEET. McCain is going to get worked and will show everyone what a moron he truly is.

GO OBAMA

Barack, PLEASE continue in your tradition of talking to us electorate as though we are adults! State the fact… Properly inflated tires will save 4 times what all the off shore drilling will accomplish. When added to good car maintainence, it completely eclipses anything that McCain has proposed. Moreover, the effect is immediate!

I guess this is what McSame meant when he repeatedly said he'd run a positive campaign. Positively ignorant.

Way to go Obama! It's about time your campaign started to fight back. I'm so sick of the lies being spread by the "low down express."

You know, it seems like John McCain gets more stupid every day. i don't care if he was some kind of a hero - my dad was in WWII, the Korean conflict and Viet Nam twice - so big woo to John McCain being a hero!! I can't stand to hear the little man talk - his little child voice makes him sound so feeble. The man is too old to be president - do you know how old he'll be in 4 years - even tho we loved Ronald Reagan, people still made note of him nodding off in front of the press, among other things. But John McCain, he needs to grow up before I vote for him - his tire gauge antics are just more proof that he doesn't need to be president. Is that how he's going to behave in front of dignitaries or deal with foes? Shame on you John McCain - Shame on a presidential candidate behaving that way. We've had enough of bafoon presidents for a while, thank you very much.

"republicans take pride in being ignorant?" uh…. that's not really what he said. does anyone at cnn proofread these things?

"The difference is, Dems didn’t spend a week getting “giddy” about using lightbulbs as a political prop and insisting that McCain’s entire energy policy is composed of turning off the lights."

I am quite sure that is exactly what we would have seen from the Dems had they been paying any attention to McCain instead of battling it out between each other.

Black is the power.

Vote against Obama at your own peril.

We will rock you

Mark my words.

So true, so true. Almost everything that comes from the McCain camp and the GOP is absolutely ridiculous. They are making themselves look like a bunch of idiots….

If only the Democratic nominee had some substance and some experience maybe this election time would be less boring.

The one certain thing is that no matter tire gauges the Republicans buy they will never find one to measure the democratic nominees inflated ego.

African Americans will take back this country from the ignorant racist fools.

Barack the vote

The GOP is doing what they do best, disrespecting people and being condensending

As an ex Democrat as of this year, I have donated to McCain and waiting on my tire pressure gauge, it has written across the gauge, Obama's energy plan. I love it! What a joke Obama is becoming. Like no one ever checked their tire pressure until HE told us to.

It's about time, Obama.
McCain and the repubs are taking you for a joke. You are far smarter and more intelligent than most of them.
It's a shame that they did not know that giving your car tires the correct amount of pressure can save you money in gas.
McCaine and the repubs are actually making big fools of themselves.

Obama has his plans for reducing energy cost but McCain do not has anything. He run ads against Obama and try to fool the voters. McCain has nothing to offer except the worse policy of Bush.

And some people (Democrats) take pride in stealing money from those who work for themselves only to give it to those who don't care enough about their own lives to get a job.

Democrats are proud to support the spread of socialism throughout our great country. What a shame!

If Americans love America they need to vote for Obama.

Otherwise there will be race riots in the streets.

Do you want that for your country?

Republicans are all racists anyway.

When we riot in the streets they will know.

Thank you, President Obama. Tell that old creep how it is.

Man, it's like, Professor Obama giving deliquent kids enough rope to hang themselves with.

Then the deliquent kids' retort for being outed? "But.. but… it's not our fault Mr. Obama; We're acting up cause the teachers need to come back to school…"

God help us all right. Sometimes we seem like the dumbest nation on earth….
I am just praying for a regime change this time!

There he goes again calling anyone who thought the tire pressure remark was funny, ignorant. You know what's funny Obama the people you are insulting today will not vote for you. You and your big city jokes that us blue collar people don't get and don't want to will sink you. I hope!!!! Tire pressure that most of us already know about that you have to go to the experts to find out. How out of touch is that??? If you have to call on experts to tell you to inflate your tires properly who will you call when our country is attacked. Oh ya, you'll call on Iran for a little meeting. Obama is so far out there not an expert on earth could find a way to reel him in.

I find myself starting to watch the people that are deliberately seated behind Obama. Then I wonder which voice Obama will be using…..his african-american voice or the " sound sophisticated" voice. I do notice he has a strange shouting voice these days that often sound strained and unnatural.
His background cast often looks uncomfortable as many negative things are said about McCain.
Maybe…..hopefully……they won't believe everything they hear.

It's about time Obama, stop letting that multi millionaire warmonger make light of the plight of 95% of Americans.

Gawd, John McCain is such an ignorant fool!

Words, words words. Obama wouldn't know the truth if he saw it. Just a young dreamer, what America needs is an experienced person ready to solve America's problems.

I can't help but feel sorry for John McCain - He likely has no idea how pathetic he looks

Senator Obama –

It's time for a simple Ross Perot type graphic that compares …

how much oil you save from inflating tires and changing air filters properly (800,000 barrels)

as compared to

how much oil we can pump from new off shore oil fields (200,000 barrels).

Not only does proper tire pressure yield FOUR TIMES the BENEFIT.

It is IMMEDIATE, unlike waiting 7 years (OR MORE) for oil fields and refinery capacity to come on line.

KISS … keep the message simple … this is what the republicans tried to do with the tire gauge.

VERY GOOD THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS FELT.

VOTE OBAMA…..08

Ignorant redneck whit people need to get out of the way.

The Obama nation is coming.

It seems that: although I had a hard time believing it. I have seen and heard many of the democrats that were hoping for Hillary to win, have truly had a problem with the fact that; the majority of the democratic party chose a "mixed race" white & black man.

I have NEVER believed that "Racism" in America was soooo deep rooted.

What surprises me most is that; some "People" (especially those of mexican decent) will give up their own fundamental beliefs, political values, party affiliation and ultimatley their vote, due to stereotypical and down right racial hatred.

I am of mixed races with a white father (Price-Irish/German Immigrant) and a Latino Mother of (Pianetta-Panamanian/Cuban Immigrant) background. Although I claim my race for EEOC and Affirmative Action purposes as "hispanic," I have always been considered to have "Black Blood" due to the dark brown color of my skin. I have learned to accept that some "People" are just simply "Ignorant" (Ignorance IS Bliss…)

Because of hate…will YOU discriminate…?

PLEASE don't let ignorance and hatred sway the vote…
"Naive & Disenchanted"

Democratic Party Chair

What did the five fingers say to the face?

"SMACK!!"

McCain is a joke, and it's becoming more and more obvious every day. He belittles Obama more and more every day, which only makes McCain look weak and petty. So keep it up McCain - you're going to hand this election to Obama!

Man, that's deep! Conserves are gonna cry, LOL!!!

…Wai a minute, I'm one so I is true!! LOL!!!

Sounds a lot like when Bush said that Americans don't need to be encouraged to conserve, they know what they are doing, etc., etc. Well, just the opposite is true. We need some real leadership, and this includes tires and lightbulbs and all the little things too that could make such a big difference when multiplied millions of times over.

Why has CNN not addressed the forged COLB on Obama's "fight the smears" site which has turned out to be a photoshop forgery using his own sister's COLB as the template?
The story is posted on Noquarterusa.net and TexasDarlin.wordpress.com
Why is Obama treated with kid gloves and why has he been treated as such since the beginning of the primaries?
You are starting to make FOX news actually appear to be "Fair and Balanced" and that's frightening.

When Obama has tire gauges with "Obama's Energ Plan" on them, I'll donate $25 to get one. It's a great symbol for the simple intelligence of conservation. We can save as much as we can drill.

I am glad to see that Obama will not back down. I just hope that the electorate really looks at what the policies of the candidates will do for this country in the future.

No more BS about Britney and Paris, fist bumps being a terrorist sign, Obama being a Muslim, his being financed by Al-Qaeda, and all of the other lies the right pulls out.

The guy has ideas, they are supported by those in the know, and he can not only be a leader of this country, but a world leader (remember when the world looked to us for leadership?).

Its a pure shame how these lame neocons are so up on McCain. I'm a veteran serving, and I wouldn't get caught dead voting for him. He said no on every stance that benefits vets (VA hospitals, GI Bill, etc). The only time he votes yes it's to send us to war. And yes you do need to inflate your tires properly. They check them each time you get an oil change, but I guess if you're so full of it (old & rich) you couldn't even find the stem caps.

McCain, Obama….neither provide any real solutions to the problem….but no government official really can….that's the farce they have over on the American people who want everything nice and easy and are willing to give away all their freedoms to get the perception of big brother taking care of them.

It was the free market that used to exist in the US (free of gov't meddling) that made it great….now as we progress towards a socialist economy we get to choose between a "sorta Democrat" and the next coming of John Kennedy…..

Either way America is going to be very disappointed. See you in the bread line.

Thank you Barack!!

I've been waiting 8 years to hear someone say exactly what is on every thinking American's mind.

ITS SO FUNNY REPUBLICANS HAVE TO BREATH CLEAN AIR BUT THEY VOTE AGAINST IT, THEY HAVE TO DRINK CLEAN WATER BUT THEY VOTE AGAINST IT, THEY LIVE ON THE SAME WORLD AS EVERYBODY ELSE BUT THEY VOTE TO DESTROY IT REPUBLICANS VOTE TO CUT THEIR OWN THROATS AND EVERYBODY ELSE MUST PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR STUPIDITY!!! (YES OBAMA WILL SET YOU FREE)!!!

Somewhere along the way the Republican party became the party that ignores scientists, ignores experts, embraces ignorance, and then celebrates it.

It's really dumbfounding to watch.

I'm ashamed of the way McCain and his campaign are behaving. Their comments this week and constant need to criticize is very troubling for someone who wants to be the next President of the United States. Obama's comments about inflating our tires and the impact on energy use were correct. Unfortunately for McCain he and his staff either didn't realize this or were unaware of the fact that his statements were correct. It appears that the entire focus of the McCain campaign is to be ready to criticize anything that Obama says and does as evidenced by the McCain campaign's readiness to criticize Obama if he had visited the injured troops in Iraq. This is not what a decent, informative Presidential campagn should be about. I will vote for Obama in November for so many reasons.

This was an excellent suggestion that would be easy for everyone to comply with. McCain doesn't care about saving fuel, he thinks this is a big fat joke as is making fun. He doesn't care what gas costs, he makes more money than we do. I bet some of those folks that got that freebee tire guage from McCain went home and used it. I can see his strategy if you have no ideas of your own at least make fun of the other person that does.

And Obama takes pride in being anti-American - not wearing his flag pin, not putting his hand over his heart during pledge of allegiance and removing the American flag from his campaign airplane.

How could anyone vote for him as President of the US?

Maybe he'll protect us from another terrorist attack because they know he will destroy our country from within.

Your ignorant if you think putting air in your tires will solve our energy problem. Nobama!

Unfortunately, the Republicans know that a lot of Americans listen to one-liners and read tabloid headlines for their news. When democrats use more than two sentences to explain something they have lost their audience.

I read one comment that said that Obama is lying because everyone knows that people don't drive around with flat tires. (I rest my case).

Listen to Randi Rhodes on Nova M for some intelligent listening

You can do no wrong. When will they be erecting the bronze statue of you for us to worship!

Hail Obama!

I've worked for two oil companies and since the 1980's one of the various gas saving techiniques both firms have recommended to customers is the have regular tune ups for your car and keep the tire pressure at the correct level. TV ads, advisories at the pumps and gas econoimization campains. Since the 80″s mind you!

So how is it that when Barack only REPEATS know gas economy advice that the GOP thows stones at what their big buddies in big oil have been saying for almost thirty years?

McCain and the GOP are "gas-hos".

I have listened to Jason Grumet, Obama's chief energy adviser, debate with McCain's top aides several times in the past month and it's pretty clear who has a "grip on reality."

Obama's policy is much more practical, far reaching, and long term than McCain's. To poke fun at someone about this serious of an issue is a textbook example of how McCain's team is trying any which way to discredit and make light of Obama.

Hopefully the country will see right through this ploy and not allow McCain to distort reality. We are facing an immediate energy crisis that requires us to get off oil NOW! This comes by giving companies incentives to pursue alternative energy. We don't need to WASTE our money on trying to drill offshore.

And for those of you who would like to drill in our pristine national wildlife refuges….not while I'm around you won't!

It is a proven fact that proper tire pressure, a tuned up engine, a fresh oil change and reducing your speed can make a large savings in your gas bill even on a weekly basis. Right on Sen Obama. John Mccain probably has never changed his own oil, put air in his own tires,or installed a set of spark plugs. I am 65 years old and still do my own work on my car. It really does make a difference.

McCain needs to stop criticising everything Obama does. it was calculated once that if every car in America kept their tires pumped to the manufacturers recommendation, we would save the amount of oil that could be drilled in the ANWR.
