CNN

Everyone please try this....it will definately help you decide who you should vote for!!!!

I would like everyone to google Sen. Obama's resume. Please copy and paste it to Word. Then replace his name with any general name, like Mike Johnson. Then replace the address and phone number with your own.

Now, leave everything as is on the resume, except remove "United States Senator" and its relevant information. (we are doing this because well lets face it he has only been in Congress for less than two years and has spent that time running for President).

Now comes the fun part. Go to your local city newspapers help wanted section. Locate ten "prestigous" jobs in your city such as CEO, or senior partner at a law firm.

Mail this resume to the appropriate address. Wait 30 days and tell me how many interviews you have been offered!!!!

This is great I did this....and guess how many responses I got to the resume!!!!!!! HAHAHA thats right people

ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you need anymore proof that he is not qualified to be POTUS???????????

I'm beginning to think that the RNC and the McCain campaign are being run by 12 year-olds. Their tactics remind me of the "clever" things I would do in middle school.

It's clear the RNC wasted a ton of money on this gimmick and now they're desperately trying to get rid of all the boxes of tire gauges they have laying around.

McCain’s Record of Vet Support, Just Another Buffalo Chip

John McCain’s campaign for president recently took him to the annual Sturgis biker rally where he spoke with veterans at the Buffalo Chip Campground. He could not have picked a more appropriate setting to offer up his wife, Cindy McCain, for a topless beauty contest and brag about his record of supporting veterans. He failed on both counts, however, to give these veterans the full McCain:

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America has given John McCain a grade of D for his support of veterans:

Disabled Veterans of America gave him a 20% rating on support for veterans while giving Obama an 80% rating:

Per Vietnam Veterans of America John McCain has “voted against us” in 15 key votes:

John McCain is one of the few veterans running for office that VoteVets has refused to endorse:

To name just a few votes by John McCain against veterans:

McCain voted against an amendment providing $20 billion for VA medical facilities [5/4/06]

McCain voted against providing $430 million to the VA for outpatient care and treatment for veterans [4/26/06]

McCain voted against increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion by closing corporate loopholes [3/14/06]

McCain voted against increasing VA funding by $1.8 billion by ending abusive tax loopholes [3/10/04]

The man even voted against giving combat duty troops more time at home between extended tours.

John McCain had the gall to not only be rude, but to lie to a vet
about his record of endorsements from veteran groups and then had the nerve to refuse further questioning on the issue:

“I’ve been endorsed in every election by every veterans organization that do that, I’ve been supported by them, and I’ve received their highest awards from all of those organizations. So I guess they don’t know something you know.”

Later, during his town hall meeting, McCain admitted he does “not have a perfect voting record,” and then announced questions about veterans issues were off limits: “I will be glad to debate a lot of things, but not that one.”

Not only was John McCain a no show when it came to voting on the GI Bill he opposed, a bill which the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars fully supported, he now wants to limit veteran health care to only combat related injury in order to save money. Per retired Army General Robert Gard, McCain’s proposal to limit health care to only combat injuries would “shortchange those veterans who suffer from non-combat related conditions”. McCain is apparently unconcerned about the number of veterans this would affect, including the 15% of female combat veterans who suffer from military sexual trauma.

This comes as no surprise. When the VA was busted recently for
circulating a memo suggesting doctors lower their diagnosis on veterans suffering from PTSD in order to save money, John McCain replied: “it’s not important.”

Older veterans remember well how John McCain and John Kerry shut down all further investigation into remaining MIA/POW in order to open up trade with Vietnam over the protests of family members. They remember full well how these families were treated and talked to by McCain. They also remember how John McCain’s father-in-law immediately opened up a beer industry in Vietnam as soon as trade resumed.

When does the RNC break out the "Swift Boat-type" ads on Obama?

Haven't gotten the check from T. Boone Pickens yet to produce it, eh?!

WONDERFUL!!! OBAMA NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A BIG WORLD HE'S PLAYING IN. IF HE HAS NO IDEALS IT'S BEST TO GET IN FRONT OF THE MIKE AND SPEAK LIKE BUSH DID. STUTTER AND STAMMER UNTIL HE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING AS STUPID AS TIRE GAGES TO FIX THE ENERGY PROBLEM. HA, HA, DUMB BUTT!!!

The Republicans are a bunch of morons. They can not win on real issues so they result to acting like 5th graders. What these idiots don't realize is IF they get into office they still have to gain bi-partisan support to get anything done in Washington. I hope they realize that Karl Rove "permanent campaign" tactics don't work. The Bush presidency is evidence of this. Wake up America

Obama 08

Obama is so easy to trease! Such an idiot.

People are so funny. McCain pick just ONE of the MANY items listed in Obamas plan and Blows it out in the press and tries to make fun Of Obama...then has to RETRACT it (this morning) because it is TRUE.

BUT people STILL post that it is the ONLY thing Obama knows. DO people read ANYTHING anymore or do they just sit in front of their machines and wait to be spoonfed by McCain and just believe it. LOL

What Obama says is true, confirmed by CNN, Time, ABC, and numerous local news channels.

CNN

Please tell me why you're not posting my comments?

If it is so nutty, then ask Pelosi to bring the House back to have an up or down vote.

YOu want change, then you have to actually try to make it.

NOBAMA is full of hot air........ Bring back Congress to vote........ We know they will not, because they will get their butt handed to them.

The American people do not want a vacationing Congress, the hired them to make a difference in Washington, not on the beach!!!!

Don't tell me. Camp McCain is going to deny any knowledge or involvement in this stunt. Swish. Under the rug it goes. Next.

Now if he could just stop all those wasteful shuttle launches, BO would have a complete energy plan!

Ofcourse he is against local oil production because he would prefer all the US Dollar$$ continuing to flow to his muslim buddies.

McShame is senile... and a blabbering idiot... did anyone listen to his incoherent babble to the bikers?

And he actually nominated his Stepford wife to be Queen of Buffalo poop!

Ok, this joke is old and dumb, just like the deliverer of the joke.

There is nothing funny about this election. McCain can't tell a joke anyway. Given the national and global situation, for the GOP to make a joke out of everything is a clue to their mindset. They are laughing but the rest of us are hurting. Do they care? No they do not. Will they admit they are wrong? No they will not. They have theirs and the rest of us can go to hell. They are LIARS. Do not believe them for one minute. This "war" in Iraq has broken us. We are deep in debt to China. Our kids are dying and the Repugs are laughing. All the way to the bank.
Save what's left of our reputation.
Vote Obama

Could you send me one of those? I need to check my tire pressure.

Obama 08

I think it's childish for the GOP to be making fun of something that the govt. its self has on their own website.

For those to lazy to read Obamas Energy Plan and find out what the context of the tire gauge comment was...he was asked by someone in the crowd what they could do personally to help. His response was the correct one. He does have long term plans to help overall and willing to compromise with off shore drilling to help the long term plan. You should do your homework before speaking out like the GOP inappropriately.

Do I want a 3-4% savings instantly that won't cost me a dime of tax payers money? You betcha ...of course the GOP don't want it, they only want to spend more money. Go figure...Go Obama.

I want one of these tire gauges, because everytime I inflate my tires I will feel good about the fact that America is going to elect Barack Obama as the next president. So have a good laugh while you can John, because we will deflate you in Novemeber.

O/08

Okay, what is the joke? I don't get it, inflating your tires to save gas is true.

O/08

You Repubs DO realize this is an election for President of the United States right? Not an election for Student Body President? Right?

Respect the citizenry by taking this process more seriously please.

Once again McCain is so lame, he CAN'T win on his own merits. He's got to win by tricks and gimmicks. He knows that his voters are so stupid, they will believe anything. Like that stunt in South Dakota. So if John can't get the crowd to come to him, he's going to go to the crowd, and PRETEND they came to see him.

I don't want a phony baloney president with anger issues and a Barbie doll wife–I just don't.

O/08

(THE TRUTH) THAT IS THE TRUTH. HE IS A MEDIA CLOWN AND A CON MAN.

I heard a rumor that the McMatlock camp is going to spend a couple of million on rolls of toilet paper and TP Obama's house. Then they are going to home home and prank phone call him.

I don't think the Obama campaign quite gets it. McCain isn't making fun of making sure you tires are properly inflated as a way to improve fuel economy, he is making fun of the fact that this is about the only useful thing Obama has to say about solving the fuel crisis.

I'd love to hear from McCain's supporters–do they actually believe that this is a good use of their contributions? This is a painfully stupid move by McCain. I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning but at one time felt i wouldn't be despondent if McCain won the election......now i certainly feel that i would be. He has gone from tolerable to becoming a joke.

All you PUMA's....do you really honestly believe that your making a point is worth 4 years of hell? why were you behind Hillary to begin with if you can absolutely go against everything she stood for to vote for this bozo??

Wow, it's amazing how ghetto this blog has become!!!!!!

People owe it to themselves to look up MCane's past. From his roudy and uninspiring days in the Navy to leaving his invalid wife for Cindy, John McCane has consistently shown that he is not worthy of respect.

Google John McCane. Visit the site of the Vietnam Vets and see the REAL McCane. It will disgust you.

Right Angle:
Ha, love it. Obama's new health care plan is for everyone to eat an apple a day! It'll save millions in health care costs!
And he calls Republicans idiots…ha

Facts seem not to matter to Republicans just because Obama offers solutions that are more complex then four words "drill here drill now" drives them crazy. Check the facts.

Obama does not need to call Republicans idiots they are doing a great job themselves: like this guage gimmick and Paris and Britney celeb commercial makes the Republican brand look like idiots.

Please Republicans let rest of America now exactly how are this a serious debate; all I see is Obama talking about issues and Republicans attacking Obama patriotism, youth, popularity, his name, and even his race.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised at the RNC's attempt at humor. Look how childish they looked at the RNC Convention in 04. Everyone sporting Purple Heart Bandaids and carrying flip flops around. They are counting on the stupidity of the american voter and electorate to usher them in for another 4 yrs of misery.

This is what Americans elect to represent us in the government? Considering the state of the nation, I would think they have more serious things to worry about on their plate........but politicans will be boys......at the expense of the people.

McCain must have been a riot in college. Short-sheeting everyone's beds etc. Not very becoming in a 72 yr old man though. And childish jokes are the last thing we need in a president.

His sense of humor reminds me a lot of George Bush's. I can see them both laughing and pulling pranks as this country goes down the tubes.

Obama is not a leader, he's an actor.

If Republicans could get any more stupid, I am sure they would. However, after the new "team" has taken over McCane's campaign, it is hard to believe that is possible.

What a shame that he gets the mother's mother, and disparages the daughter using that money.

What a shame that there isn't an independent body to approve political messages based on accuracy and substance.

What a shame that McCane has put Karl Rove to shame with his disgusting ads. If this this the way he is going to spend money, I don't want him as a president.

If anyone other than McCane had won the Republican nomination, I would still be a Repub. People should dig into his past. It's all out there on the net. Google people.

I've been a born republican for over 50 years!!! This ad and more of the "rove tacticks" are why I am no longer voting republican. This mocked the American public who is trying to do what ever they can and we want a leader who will help us, even in the small ways. Shut up McCain and go to the nursing home you belong in!!! You should have retired 10 years ago and you have had 26 years to fix this country and just pandered to big oil and money! Let the new kid on the block take a shot at trying to fix this mess you people got us into. He just might do it!!!!!

Why is everyone so amazed at how childish the republicans are acting? They are republicans aren't they?

This is what 26 years of experience in the Senate has come to........WOW...... shows just out of touch McCain and his rich campaign camp really is, from now on can you send the American people the money you will spend on these so called joking toys, some of us have bills, mortgage past due and buy food to put in our empty refrigerators.......

I am so glad I am a Democrat, this type of stuff doesn't call for years of experience.......................

Obama 08

Tire gages, Paris Hilton, eating at German restrarants, visiting Paris, Indiana, volunteering his own wife (with out asking her permission) for a topless beauty pagent....

John McCain is acting like a 3rd grader. I thought we already learned our lesson from Bush. Lets get a real leader.

Obama 08

WOW a free as for Obama. Hope soon will see McCain against Mc Cain in a debate ....

McCain agrees with Obama on inflating tires, that's the headline immediately below this one!!!! What's wrong with the McCain campaign?????????

Sue: Obviously you know how to use the internet, so why not go visit Obama's web site and read up on his energy plan instead of making snide comments?

This just demonstrates how completely out of touch McSame is from the American, working people. Proper inflation of tire pressure has a HUGE effect on gas mileage, up to 10%.

Just do the math.
A 20 MPG vehicle with a 15 gallon tank gets you 300 miles.
Proper inflation saves 2 miles a gallon x 15 gallons is 30 miles more per tank.
At $4 a gallon that equals $6 a fill up.

This is a HECK of a lot more than McSames gas tax holiday that he put so much spin into. A clean air filter will save you even more!

It’s obvious McSame doesn’t want to actually save you gas. He simply wants to do what bush/cheney have been pushing for and thats to SELL you more gas. Drill more sell more. It’s an offense to any intelligent American and a continuation of a despicable administration!

According to AAA to have your tire pressure as suggested by Manf.
Saves you 4% to 5% which is what Oil drilling will save.
and as I predicted watch out oil and gas price is coming down before Nov. election as manipulated by cronies in Republican party working closely w/ oil co. and their oil traders.

Hold the phone guys...I know we all look at the tactics John Mccain is using and think to our selves,"no one is gonna be dumb enough to fall for this crap", but this is the same group of idiots that voted for Bush twice so watch out.

obama 08-16

He reminds of Bush because he offers a solution to something that everyone already knew about. We also realize this is not going to solve our energy problem.

McCain and the RNC are pathetic. All of which don't have 00.01% of common sense or dignity.

Evidently, Obama thinks it funny that Americans are struggling to fill their gas tanks. Nothing like making fun of the only way to resolve our pain to drive that one home...

The tire company have been saying this for years about tire pressure. How stupid can Sen McCain be by making a joke about something that true. By the way how much money did they spent for the tire guages they gave away or was it a side deal for the company that made them stupid is what stupid does McCain. Go Obama

there is a new name .....McWrinkle old man

I think that McCain's staff member are writing on this blog – because some of the writings or dumb and reflect their third grade mentality. All of you individuals making fun of inflating your tires and making sure the maintenance of your car is maintain – will save your money at the gas station – I only want to say – read your car manual, listen to AAA, and the auto repair shop owners. But I forgot you only in the third grade and cannot comprehend what you read nor hear.

The Obama Energy Plan consists of getting morans to fill their tires to proper pressure?

Any more questions on his obvious lack of leadership abilities??

99% of people ALREADY HAVE THEIR TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED!!!

That means 99% of people won't save additional money on gas.

As the McCain strategists realize the tire pressure gag is backfiring, they become more shrill about it and shriek like little girls. John McCain himself is already backpedaling on it.

McCain Confusion once again.

McCain's "solution" – give a crack addict more crack. When supply goes up, demand/prices go down!

McCain is supported by majority Male voters who gave us 8 years of disaster w/ Bush presidency.
I suggest this all male voters to come out of watching only sports section in new paper and start reading some serious issue facing our country.

The saddest thing about this is that some idiot at McCain HQ thinks it would actually influence the coverage of the campaign.

Because we all know conservation is wimpy, and oil drilling is manly, right McCain? What other possible message could they be sending? It doesn't matter if inflating your tires actually works, it just sounds so lame, and oil drilling sounds so vigorous and exciting!

It's better to be smart than tough. That may not have been true in the world McCain grew up in, but it's true now, and it's exactly why Obama will be a better President than McCain could ever be.

Senator Obama should consider those tire gauges a true gift. The talk about them will inspire people to check out the details of Barack Obama's ENERGY PLAN..........it is very forthright and will bring the CHANGE our Country needs!

OBAMA / 08

I don't think RNC is ignorant they're a bunch of idiots what else could explain 8 years of Bush.

FYI conservation is not a joke unlike "drilling here and now" it can make a difference "now".

Obama is telling people to inflate their tires properly to conserve gas because, like McCain he has recieved money from People who work for the Oil Industry and has no intention to do anything about oil costs. Why should he? He can afford it. And if he gets the job, he can continue to fly all over on Airforce One on our dime.

Obama, like President Bush who started the practice, uses "poolers' to gather money from induviduals. It' s a way to get around the campaign finance laws.

A Loop hole.

Like the convienient loop hole in the Obama bill that allows Politicians to still recieve gifts and dinners from Lobbyists.

That's why Obama does speeches, not press conferences. Everything is perfectly scripted and perfectly worded so he can say, I didn't say that, I said this. Think back to the Vanilla Ice sample of Under Pressure... Thats what he reminds me of.

He's a lawyer first and formost. His very nature is to lie as a lawyer. Have you ever met an honest one?

I"m glad to see this.

Obama and Nancy Pelosi are destroying this country by refusing to drill for domestic oil. We have so much oil at our fingertips, it's ridiculous.

Neither Obama nor Nancy Pelosi know anything about oil.

WE NEED OIL, you don't just put it in your car! Oil is needed to make paints, many plastics, ALL machinery requires oil and the list goes on.

Instead, Obama and Pelosi want us to "save the environment" by sending 300 BILLION per year to Muslim countries.

And we are supposed to really want this guy to lead the country?

Best stick to educating yourself on the economy McCain.

They're trying to get under his skin and force a mistake they can use to their advantage. Won't happen.

McCain supporters your donantions at work. Good job.

The senior Senator has a juvenile moment.

And yet, the McCain team wants off shore drilling to begin somewhere in Michigan.

Are you serious? I thought this was a campaign to determine the leader of the free world. Was I wrong? I must have been wrong.

The McCain supporters are out of touch even more than thought...do they read all the information that is out there that the average American citizen can do NOW to help with energy efficiency...obviously not...I hope the average American WILL check the air pressure in their tires, etc in that it will help...little bits add up as reported!

I just started using my cruise control and lowered my speed by 5 mph and have increased my gas mileage by .6 mph...make fun of it Republicans...but felt good to me.

It's sad. Rather than come out and say that they support preventive automobile maintenance as well, which should make the car dealers a lot of money and will save gas, and take the wind out of Obama's sails, they come back to the "increased consumption over all" message.

The problem with making something someone else's problem is that it's saying that you can't do anything about it–you're powerless. Do he Republicans really want to lead a nation of powerless sheep? ... That's a rhetorical question, I'm not sure I want to hear the answer.

I'm voting for the candidate that treats American citizens like people with at least some control over their destiny, and not like helpless children in need of spoon-feeding.

I hope these silly back-and-forths is not a sign of the election to come. Ugh.

The McCain camp chooses to be ignorant. It is a choice. They don't have to be ignorant because inflating your tires is proven to improve gas mileage by 3 to 4%. You can find it on the internet everywhere. Oh yeah, John McCain doesn't know how to use a computer.

It only shows how out of touch McCain and the RNC is with the plight of ordinary Americans. My father taught all his children how small things like keeping properly inflated tires, as well as other things, would help save at the gas pump. I guess McCain and his rich wife don't know these things because they don't have to worry about all the things regular people do.

Wow is this what the mccian camp has come to, how sad.

To describe Camp McCain as cynical would be a compliment. Camp McCain is below dirty. Stunts like this show a total lack of respect for your opponent, and is a brazen attempt to deny Obama the dignity of being an adult human being.

And people wonder why Michelle described the US as being "mean" at times.

This is the way McCain would run the United States ...as a big joke!!!

Looks like McCain needs to "grow up".

THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING THIS MCCAIN ...

THE JOKE'S ON YOU!!!!
OBAMA IS RIGHT ON THIS ONE AND HE DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND A
DIME TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE.....

COMPLIMENTS TO YOU AND YOUR CAMPAIGN
.... OOPS HE DID IT AGAIN .....

LOL...LMAO!!!

I wonder how large the Dep't of Tire Gauges will be under Wacko Obamo if he gets elected?

"Change you can believe in, just watch the way I flip flop."

John McCain and Phil Gramm. Hi, Im Big Oil and we approved this message.

That is so funny...

Everybody keeping their tires properly inflated would save more gas than what would be produced in 7 years by allowing more off-shore drilling (which is primary aspect of the Republican's and McCain's energy plan).

Fight ignorance, vote Democrat!

This is a quote from TIME

"But who's really out of touch? The Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 bbl. per day by 2030. We use about 20 million bbl. per day, so that would meet about 1% of our demand two decades from now. Meanwhile, efficiency experts say that keeping tires inflated can improve gas mileage 3%, and regular maintenance can add another 4%. Many drivers already follow their advice, but if everyone did, we could immediately reduce demand several percentage points. In other words: Obama is right. "

Well, it seems as if the infatuation with Barack continues . He gets a birthday gift too.

I just heard McCain's speech on energy. Just general statements, "we're going to do what we have to do in order to supply new forms of energy". That's a plan? Very similar to his speech yesterday about Iraq, "we're going to win in Iraq by winning" dah....what the hell does that mean?
Then I heard Obama's speech on energy. He gave a point by point outline of his plan, how he's going to pay for it and how much money each point in his plan would save.

Specifics or rambling jabber? The answer could never be easier. John McSame, can you spell LANDSLIDE?

The presure of your tries should be at or near max ,no dought about that. You can save more gas by driveing slower or keeping your rpm down. Not to mention that most people keep tires at a good presure any way. His plan is a dumb one. I really don't think he is teaching anyone anything new,I have known this since i was about 10.

The RNC are a bunch of juveniles. They are pathetic. How low will they go?

Do McCain's epople really think this tire gauge thing is funny? This is what they're pinning the campaign's hopes on?

They pull one line out of a speech (that happens to be true) and keep repeating it and telling people it's funny. And of course, the sheep fall in line.

Don't ever start a statement with a phrase like, "The American people are smart enough. . . " They're not.

Tire air pressure, a clean car and driving at 55 can ALL save gas. Here in Jersey, where a car is necessary, we are all taking steps to save fuel. Less used, less cost, less drilling, less dependence.

More of an 'Ask not what your country can do for, ask what you can do for your country' idea from Obama, don't you think?

I would NEVER pull the lever for McCain and I am not an Obama fan but this is just plain stupid of McCain.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

noBAMA 2008

I wonder how much of the tax payer dollars they spent on this joke. Seriously.

Man, I so glad I didn't donate to that campaign. Wouldn't like my money wasted on juvenile things like this.

McCain's people are sick, twisted individuals. Or eight-year-olds.

Are you serious??? Since when is our energy crisis a game??? This is a serious issue, McCain acts like this whole election is a joke..with the paris hilton ad, the united state's Berlins ads, tire gauges ect. This isn't gonna be as funny when we see that he can't govern the country, just make jokes. Isn't he the one who says there are too many problems in our country to elect the young Obama, well there are too many problems to joke around about all of them, yet still refuse to give us your position.

Whaaaaaaaah! Please let this campaign be over soon! It's killing me!

Unfortunately it is true that if you keep your car tuned up and tires full you will save more gas then we will get from off shore drilling. And you will see the savings sooner.

I read somewhere that 50% of Americans think that off shore drilling will lower gas prices in a year. Where do these people come from? It will be sad when they find our they were lied to again by the GOP. Government estimates say that even in 10 years when we finally start drilling the effect on gas prices will be negligible due to the miniscule amount of oil we will get . It is expensive to get that oil out, do you really think the oil companies would do it if it lowered prices. Get real. I personally don't care one way or the other if they drill but I think it is sad that they are lying about the result and that a lot of people will be hurt because they were expecting prices to drop significantly.

It's shameful that the RNC is mocking a way for all of us to make sure we're not wasting gas (and tires – which are made from oil too). I'd gladly take some of those tire gauges and give them to family and friends.

It's shameful that the RNC is mocking a way for all of us to make sure we're not wasting gas (and tires – which are mde from oil too). I'd gladly take some of those tire gauges and give them to family and friends.

Such OOooold "News"

This is rediculous. They are so childish.

The DNC and Obama is going to need a BIGGER gauge to check all the hot air coming from the wheels of the STUPID TALK EXPRESS when it runs off the road and into a ditch because of their DEFLATED candidate.

Vote Obama 08..Truth, Judgement, Intelligent, Sincere, Logical, Eligible, Qualified.

How old is McCain? He sure acts immature for someone running for president.

LOL... Brilliant!

Juvenile.

HOW CLUELESS IS AMERICA TO BE TAKEN IN AGIN BY GWB'S CLONE?

This is pretty funny. If everyone with underinflated tires actually made sure their tires were properly inflated, but not only that – with good tread wear and properly balanced, the overall effect would reduce gas consumption. It might not account for a $3 decrease in gas at the pump, but it would reduce consumption, which reduces demand, which reduces price....

why is this news, the auto industry, tire mfgs and mechanics have been telling us this for years. suddenly it comes out of bho mouth and it is news. let's use some of the oil we have and stop depending upon the rest of the world to sell it to us. yours, mine and our money is going to countries that really don't like us - they do how ever like our money. i guess bho(obama) is waiting for us to use up all the world oil and then we will be the only country with supplies. come on bho get with it.

These people are stupid.

Quit wasting our time.

OBAMA 08

mccain camp is soooooo dum.

mcWAR is making fun of his surrogates who have the same knowledge of this useful tips and by extention the american people.
This is ridiculous for supposedly intelligent people. Ready to lead indeed.

RNC and all repubicans are losing their head , they are busted and exposed they can not decive us by using false coservative beliefs and using God's name to fill their pockets with money and get rich. I believe the end of the Republican party is coming Soon. When that happen every one will born again.

Obama's message of change is that you can count on him to change his position. Also, change your tires to save gas.

the mcshame campaign and the rnc are as low and shallow and a darn puddle.... who does this anymore? anyone who votes for this man needs to see through all this slander and realize what they are actually going to get for a president,, shameful and low.

I know Obama and his camp are completely confused about who they are running against a war hero or a child.

OBAMA '08

Can the GOP be any more juvenile..!!!

Did the tire gauges also come in half black/half white?

This is all too funny.

McGoofy and his ignorant friends need to get a life or education. Offering up his wife to participate in a biker pageant. He needs to audition for the next movie version of Dumb, Dumber. He'll have free time in December.

Mr. Obama opposes more drilling because he is in bed with Big Agribusiness. Big Farm likes the high demand created by growing corn for both food and biofuel. Big Farm, however, cannot grow enough corn to meet both increasing food and fuel needs, since the nation's supply of corn is basically fixed by the number of farm acres available. Mr. Obama's plan will lead to both higher food and fuel prices.

Mean-spirited and lame. How typical. Instead of finding something useful to say, they instead use campaign contributions to have these custom gauges made? Weak.

McShame... I am going to be running an honorable campaign focused on issues. McShame.

Wow! Just wow. I can't believe that people plan on voting for this guy. Sure, having your tired inflated to the right pressure will increase you MPG, but so will turning off the AC, driving the speed limit, and any number of other things. These are all things that the individual needs to do, not the government. We need a President capable of making a plan on the large scale that will not increase our MPG by 1 or 2 but that will actually consider smart, well planned ways of decreasing our dependancy on foreign oil and solve the current crisis. Now off-shore drilling may not be the best idea to do this, but its leaps and bounds beyond Obama's nonsensical plan to raise awareness of tire pressure.

He needs to pick Hilliary as his running mate or we can just forget the presidency. Tenacious and a fiesty surrogate, that is what is required to get the Democrats to the White House. He needs her and I hope he is smart enough to realize that. Simple.

Can I send John McCain and the producers of FOX News and all conservative news stations a monkey in a cage and a note that says... "I have experience in commanding the military too!" ?

Yes it's true, but will only save a few cents. We need more help then that.

I think it should be used to check all the hot air coming from Obama.

He keeps saying change but what change. Does he mean how he keeps changing his mind.

Still can't trust him.

the McCain camp doesn't have a clue. These childish antics are fooling nobody. Aside from what Obama saying actually being true (though not the solution), McCain and his team of rookies are playing right into the hands of those who have at least a bit of common sense

Obama is so full of hot air he and he alone could fill all the tires in America with hot air and that would elevate the vehicle to save rubber which in turn would save gas. So Obama could be called the "HotAirBamPump." That would be a full time job, so he could quit his quest. He needs to get real.

BTW Paris and Obama are celebs without a portfolio. Both are famous for being famous for accomplishing nothing.

Obama is risky so is Paris. Obama has a funny name so does Paris, Obama sounds foreign, duh so does Paris.

Two birds of a feather if you ask me.

It seems as if the McCain "campaign" consists solely of tired slapstick since it fails to offer anything of substance. But starting with "Bomb Bomb Iran" leading up to the current crop of "humorous" ads and gags, McCain has made clear he is a mean spirited adolescent trapped in an elderly body, and with an equivalent level of wisdom and knowledge........Bush all over again but in a geriatric package. How very sad for both him and America.....he makes our electoral process look ludicrous.

Is McShame trying to lose?

When I hear of politicians doing stuff like this, I just think of apes screaming at each other and throwing poo.

Another one of obamas foolish ideas. he never seems to run out of them. Only a nation of fools would elect this man president. Thank God he will lose in November!

every time McCain's campaign speaks or acts, it seems to reinforce the widely-held belief, that not unike GWB, McCain is an emotionally immature person. we simply can't afford another like-minded president.

Funny too now McCain ispublically admitting admitting that tire gauges are valuable tools to conserve gas and reduce to consumption. Perhaps CNN will get around to adding this to their blog.

Thus, the gauges being handed out by the Republicans are in fact advertisements for the Obama camp.

Obama should respond by offering drills and Alzheimer's medicines to the reporters who are following McCain... oh wait, there aren't any.

This is typical of republicans who know how to waste money on frivolous things. Get a grip...you're wrong, you know it.

On 4-12-08 Mccain response in a press avail to what could be done right now to cut down energy cost was for people to turn off lights 5 minutes earlier and to stop driving that extra block .So the Republican have a lot nerve mocking Obama

We have known all along that proper tire pressure improves gas mileage. So, what's BO's energy plan? Maybe he could suggest we bathe only once a week and save electricity for the hot water?

Yeterday I was realy shocked 2 times in 5 minutes Situation Room.

First: I saw John McCain speeking for members of a motorclub.
I saw an old man who read every line from paper. He walked away
every time and had to go back for the next line.
I saw a man who is running for President of the USA and I felt realy sorry for him because all of his bodytalk tells me he is not capable for the job. I think that this campain is already to much for this man so what wil it be when he 's got elected in november!

The second shock was the remark of Gloria Borger that Barack Obama should re-introduce himself to the American public!
My goodness, I am a normal Dutchman and I follow Barack after
the DNC 5 years agoo. I than said, I saw today the first Black American President!
And that man needs a re-introduction in the USA?
Americans are; not interested in politics, are realy stupid or does not
care for there future!

America, wake up and realize this is a historic moment in your history!
Go to te site of Barack Obama and read his political program and tell everyone Barack will be a great President
Then all Americans wil know that you have a brilliant candidate. He will be respected all over the world.

Vote for Barack Obama

With love from the Netherlands.

Lets see, our country is in an economy crisis, unemployment is at an all time high, families are losing their homes, and our government is more concerned with funding a war rather than our schools. To top it off the RNC is wasting time sending tire gauges to the press to
"make a funny". Hey McCain America is not laughing. Our country needs a President not a joke. Get a clue!

While I still have not decided to vote for either candidate, if I had financially supported Sen. McCain, I would have a problem with how my contribution is being spent....tire gauges for the press, mocking videos...PLEASE, please, please gentlemen stay on topic in a way that is meaningful...I am not voting for the next Comic of the United States...I am voting for President.

Just when you thought the low road express couldn't get any lower. It's nice to see the Republicans bringing some sort of decency, respect, and knowledge to the table.

This has got to be ths silliest, most childish stunt the McCain camp has pulled yet-

John McCain: The world's oldest, grumpiest, baldest 7th grader

Yes, all you single moms, factory workers, and people working two maybe three jobs to support yourselves. DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE!!!!

Man this Obama dude is a riot...sure it is smart to check your tire pressure and if every American did it it would work...but guess what???? Americans want to make ZERO effort and just want prices to be lower at the pump. What don't you get???

They need to hand them out to the public who is hurting beyond belief due to Bush and the Republican parties policies. We'll get the last laugh dummies.

Obama 08 and 12!!!!

Come on Barry, take that gauges and paddle these RNC freaks!
who da hell do they think they are.
Just BS, simply BS is comin' out there rotten heads.

YOU are the one with the good and right ideas for America. What do these idiots offer?
They enjoy being stupid, childish and ignorant.
Okay I mean they are mostly incest victims, but instead of making jokes to the one who has the real ideas, they should bring up something.

When it comes to Nov. they will get their deserved landslide loss!
Obama 375
John McCain 163

And Barack, don't expect them to do their homework. These old senile incest freaks are not able to read or write, and of course mentation is their heaviest weakness...

BARACK FOR PRESIDENT!!!

"They think it's funny that they're making fun of something that is actually true. They need to do their homework." – Sen. Obama

It is true Sen. Obama, but I don't need my President informing me of this common-sense fact. Nor do I need him/her suggesting I do it to relieve "pain at the pump". You're not explaining the benefits of turning the water off as I brush my teeth, are you? Or turning off the light when I leave the room? They show us a video for all of that in grade school.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Umm...how about we drill, inflate our tires, AND actively pursue alternative energy? Oh, that's right, we can only pick one.

Why is it that McShame always finds time to talk about Obama? If Obama does have "fans", sounds like McShame is the biggist fan of all. checking tires won't gat rid of high gas prices, but it will help you in not having to fill your tank up so often. McShame is outragous showing his true colors , green with envy! While he's handing out gauges, why not hand out twenty dollar bills at his town hall meetings, he's RICH enough with his $500 shoes, 9 houses, and millions of dollars in beer investment everywhere. After all with the crowd he pulls, he'll probably just be out of about $500-$600 tops!

And people are seriously going to vote for McCain? God help us all.

The McCain campaign is not ignorant. They are calculating and deliberate. They do however clearly consider the American people to be ignorant. It is a back handed insult to deliver tire guages to us that mock Barack Obama as though we are not aware of the broad scope of both candidates policy on energy and everything else. We are two insulted Republicans turned Democrat. Please send us a tire guage to celebrate.

In response to the Obama ad article:

To Bill and all you other pseudo-ignorant people – get a clue! Unlike McCain's ad, this is a truthful ad on policy that is backed up by facts and McCain's quotes himself; not an ad that attacks peronality nor an ad as frivolous as the 'Paris & Spears' spot.

Obama said it right when he said the RNC along with McCain were ignorant. It is a fact that what Obama said is true. Check your tires, check your oil, tune up your car, slow down. All true. The only reason the Republican party is pushing for offshore drilling so hard is so that in 10 years the oil companies can still raise prices to $4.00, the only difference is we won't be able to blame OPEC. We can then blame the Big oil companies, their Shareholders who have reaped record profits, unabated, and with no thought as to how many Americans have been hurt by their little folly. Shame on Big oil and The Republican party.

My parents, who are Republicans, have been following this "move" by the Republicans and it is really turning them off. Last night they were saying how they lost the what little desire they had to go out and vote for McCain.

So, keep working those tire gauges RNC, please.

What a shamefull act. This McSame alias GOP attack machine is insane. May be they think all people in america are as stupid as they are.
I can't believe some morons on this blog will buy into this.
Doing the same thing over and over again and somehow expect a change.
26 YEARS IN THE SENATE WITH NO FIGHT FOR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. RUNNING 2008 FOR PRESIDENT Ohhh I will change everything by drilling eveywhere in the USA. WoW.
Something is gotta be wrong with your head to believe that the same termites that destroyed your house for years will come back saying oh I destroyed it but I will fix it now. Give me a break

Ha, love it. Obama's new health care plan is for everyone to eat an apple a day! It'll save millions in healthcare costs!
And he calls Republicans idiots...ha

Wow. The attitude of the McCain campaign is scary. They'd better check up real quick or there's not going to be a race any more.

All McFail can do is attack Obama. Everything I read about McCain is him attacking something Obama says or does. I'm 33 and sick of these gradeschool politics from the right. Recess is over.

This is too funny.

Hi Jack,

How old is McCain again! 71 or 7?

He has a tendency to mock, put down Obama because in return he has nothing better to offer us! Pathetic! Does this means that he mocks the advices of experts! Will he mock economic advisors soon! There is such a disrespect for this young man! Which by the way he is not young by the way...in our 40s aren't we middle age!

I cannot wait for the day to see McCain's generation tell him to get out your time is up; you do not represent our values any more because you cannot respect others and change anything about your own behaviors! He is blinded by the idea of getting to the White House...before it' too late for him! Well, it is! A President that can show us the utmost respect between generations is what people are looking for in a leader...and right now this takes a lot of energy to succeed at not becoming as cynical as McCain..but then again we are facing a disappearing Brand and Thank God we will discover a real new and quality Brand proud of our real values!

maybe the RNC can use them to measure their hot air

CHILDISH RNC ARE RICH ENOUGH TO DO THAT. ELITE MORONS

Obama is right!!

It is true if you properly inflate your tires...you'll get better gas mileage.

But really–hearing a man who is running for President using this as a keynote in a speech on energy–while patently ignoring other energy options–is a little silly. Just like him.

the only reason the Republicans want congress to come back and rule on the drilling issue is because it is time for them to pay their daddy, Big Oil. Their boss will not contribute to their campaigns if they do not do their jobs they were already paid to do and that is get more property for oil companies to drill on.

Maybe it's all different when living in the USA and being used to this kind of nonsense, but when looking at McCain's ads from the outside just makes Republicans look like 1) 11 year old kids 2) people who don't care about one another and 3) dumb people in general.
You have a choice, and every time you think of voting McCain, think of what he exactly stands for. And then, vote Obama.

Greets from the Netherlands

I don't know why the Repubs are doing this ... it's a proven fact that inflating tires to the proper levels .. leads to conservation ... I don't get what's funny about this???

The only this I can conclude from this is the same thing Obama said "It's Like Repubs Take Pride In Being Ignorant"

THE RASCAL SCOOTER MCCAIN IS APPEALING TO THE DUMB CROWD. IF THEY WANT TO TAKE THE BAIT SO BE IT.

OBAMA ...........08

This sounds like a prank by school kids. I cannot imagine what they are thinking doing this. Perhaps there are school children running the McCain campaign, this would help in off setting how old McCain is. I figured mature adults would not try and take it to a this low level, Oh, ok, I am wrong!!!!!!

With all the hardship the American people face over this gas crisis, I cannot believe the McCain campaign could stoop so low.

Shame on McCain for being so out of touch with Americans. I hope this negative campaigning resonates with voters at the polls in November.

The McCain camp is relying on stupid people in this country in order to win this election. They are mocking Obama's response to how we can conserve gas. MOST intelligent people in this country would agree with the idea properly inflated tires. So my question is, who are the McCain people pandering to? And shouldn't they feel insulted?

Yes, and McCain's total health program consist of offering everyone a bottle of sunscreen. Get real.

The scene ... early one Saturday morning ... soccer balls being loaded into the vehicle
- – - – - – - –

"A few days ago, John McCain's campaign made fun of my comment to a constiutent. A voter had asked, what can an individual do to help mitigate rising oil prices?

I reminded her of a tip that the US Dept of Transportation says would save more oil than drilling ever would ... and it would do so IMMEDIATELY.

(Show a column chart comparing the two scenarios ... ala Ross Perot.)

Many other concerned Americans are taking this tangible step. It may not be flashy but it will have an immediate impact on fuel consumption ... on the demand for gasoline. That can only put prices to move the way we want them to.

I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

- – - – - – - –

Scene of this commercial is Obama walking around a hybrid minivan , loading up his family for a short trip, periodically stooping by each tire to use a gauge to measure air pressure.

On the last one he pulls out one of the McCain gauges, attempts to use it before say ..."these things don't work". He then pulls out his own and uses it.

Obama Campaign ... you may mail my $100K advertising consultancy payment to ...

6965 El Camino Real
Carlsbad, California

Just kidding ... this one is free!

More campaign money well spent...

It is really sad that McCain gets pleasure out of making fun of other people. Even more sad, is the fact that Obama is right on this, and properly inflated tires decrease gasoline consumption by 10% on average. Too bad McCain is too closed minded to listen to other suggestions.

WAIT A MINUTE – we all ready have a closed minded president in the white house. McCain = McSame....

From a PR perspective, this is GENIUS

What agency does the McCain camp work with?
I want to work for them!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that the McCain camp just doesn't seem to get it. What do they think they will accomplish with this "Childishness"? Seriously, they're like a group of middle school kids.

Are 3rd graders running McCain's campaign now ?

this is stupid all economist say that if you fully inflate your tires you will save gas but the stupid Republicans don't know that the are on a sinking ship into a black Hole Barack Obama is the best Option and Cnn needs to stop reporting these Gimmicks and reports some real news!

This is serious business and they are joking like a bunch of frat boys .

Go Bam

I want one I need to check my tire pressure. Obama is so smart I love this man. LOL

The truth doesn't matter.
McCain is so irresponsible.
Instead of noting it as a good point he mocks a method that could save Americans millions.
Why? Because no one who can give him millions can make any money off of it.
Big oil doesn't want properly inflated tires, that would lower their profits.

thats dumb

The RNC and McCain are petty, childish, foolish, and uninformed. Indeed, they do take pride in being ignorant. If this wasn't so then they wouldn't be bent on mocking what everyone knows is true, well it seems every intelligent person but them knows, and that is every expert will tell you that gas consumption WILL reduce if tires are properly inflated.

I truly hope the American people will get it right this time and vote for change. It's definitely time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

They are so proud to be "ignorant". Pathetic.

Don't the gauges save more than drilling? I don't get it, Repubs. Please explain.

Those GOP-ers are such cut ups! Pretty soon they will bring out the whoopie cushions, joy buzzers and rubber chickens! YEE HAH!

wow... that's pretty low using someone's birthday as a medium to attack them on.

And they're misinformed and lying about the subject.

I guess this is just part of the "Straight Talk" and deep sense of honor that makes up McCain.

McCain's campaign seems more like a little girls sleepover than anything else. What a sad excuse for a man.

McCain and his advisors are idiots.

McCain should let it go. The tire gauges were petty and stupid and they ought to give it up before looking more like 12 year olds.

McShriveled and his cohorts are all very funny.....let's see who is laughting in November!

Barack the vote!

They need to tdo their homework, haha. Good one, Barry. We've known about the advantages of properly inflated tires for years, we just DIDN'T know that it could solve the enegry problem and have the same effect as drilling for the oil on the continental shelf. Thaks for helping us out on that one with your pathetic energy non-plan.

These guys are abouselty sick. They need to pay attention to the important things that are going on. I hope and pray this will back fire on them. Remember what goes around comes around. Mccain is so great, let me ask you where is his flag pin. And How come the vice president isnt even going to the republican convention. That ought to tell you some thing about Mccain. His whole camp is turning into a bunch of racits, and the need to be brougt down on their knees.

What a bunch of immature children the GOP has become! Please people, it's obvious they think you're a bunch of idiots who don't think very much. Stop rewarding them with votes and put them in a decade long (or more) time out.

"It's Like These Guys Take Pride In Being Ignorant" .. LMAO

“It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant.” Just felt the need to reiterate Obama's words.

ROFL I don't even know what to say! Maybe I will have something to say to this foolishness once I watch some cartoons and eat cereal in my pj's with the feet in them LOL Maybe on mccain's birthday they should roll in wheelchairs or pictures of Mccain's first wife or videos of mccain saying we are better off now than we were. LOL WOW!

Obama needs to do his homework as well. Studies have shown that keep your tires inflated correctly will save gas, but it's anywhere from 1 to 4%. Offshore Drilling will net us a 5 to 6% increase in oil reserves, that's 5 to 6% less terror oil we'll be buying...you do the math.

Put a windmill in front of Obama for more "energy."

Um... McCane just came out and said Obama was right and keeping your tires inflated will help gas milage... Do these people pay attention at all or are they just making up things as they go.

You'd think they'd have learned from the "gas Tax" lie.

I can't believe McCane was the best candidate the republican's could find. The man is a danger to America.

Ok, the tire gauge thing is just old now. First it was dumb, now it's old and dumb. They really think this is going to work. That's the amazing part of it all.

Offshore Drilling: 1% savings
Correct Tire Pressure: 3% savings

HA! Nice and childish! Wake me up when you start discussing the solutions rather than playing the childish games.

The RNC needs to check out PolitiFact.com and FactCheck.org, among other fact-checking sites readily available to the parts of the public who know how to "watch the internet". What they mock turns out to be – GASP – true. The old man and his third-grade staff need to grow up and do their homework!

Somebody needs to show Barack Hussein Obama how to use his. I'm sure he's never tested tires in his life.

Will Obama's people give filp-flops to McLiar's press corps then ?

oh my gosh the mcsleeze campaign is so stupid. they waste their time with these gimmicks. way a spend your constituents hard earned contributions making TIRE GAUGES. yeah, that's really gonna help out the struggling americans who you're supposedly the maverick of.

this campaign is so pathetic.

God, they're childish. And ignorant.

How desperate is the RNC. Barack Obama is going to blow McShame right out of the water on Election Day.

Is Obama really this clueless? If all Americans properly inflated their tires then it would save ALL of the oil equal to offshore drilling?

May god help us if this man is elected. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN. Bah nm....its just a teleprompter anyway.

McCain 08

Wow, the Republicans really DO take pride in their ignorance

The campaign being waged by John McCain would make Karl Rove blush.

Not because Rove has a conscience, but because he abhors stupidity as much as the next person.

At a time when the future of the nation is so much in peril domestically and globally, the RCN and gloomy Hillary Supporters have this to fall on?

God Bless America

Pumping up your tires and driving slower will save gas...I'm still not sure why this is a laughing matter? I thought it was common sense – I was taught it at the age of 16.

HAHA... too funny...

I think this is going to backfire on McCain pretty bad. These childish pranks that serve to show their immaturity are not what I am looking for in a leader. But cheer up McCain when I was in Middle School I wasn't very good at math either, with a little effort you can add up the numbers too and see that Obama is right.

The RNC should be ashamed of itself. McCain was a great politician until Rove and the RNC took over the campaign for the general election. People want truth not ignorance...

brobama dot org

is a cool site more and more people are visiting to check out a different type of election coverage. Obama just needs to keep his campaign clean and it'll be smooth sailing....

I think McCain is making a serious mistake here, but I doubt he or his top advisers have driven a car or pumped a tank of gas in decades. Tire pressure is important, and Obama is correct. But don't take my word, ask Paris Hilton.

Proper tire inflation is so uncool. My tires say to inflate to 41 psi, but I only inflate to 20 psi because I'm awesome.
