Obama’s Answer to Drilling Debate: Inflate Your Tires (Video clip)

CNN ^ | July 30, 2008

"We could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could save just as much."

The moron actually said that??

[unkus]

I think Obama might be turning into Humpted Dumptey.

[moose2004]

What a genius, oh my.

My GOD they are so behind the debate on energy. Everybody filled up their tires, Barack, and that’s why consumption dropped by 10% last month, year over year. Now we just need to find a way to run our cars on change alone.

I meant Humptey Duntey—probably spelled wrong.

Now we just need to find a way to run our cars on change alone.

Pffft. You do that. At $4 a gallon, it's going to take a lot of change to fill my tank.

I'm running my car on hope.

Hey Barack, what is a “tune up”? Oh, you mean that thing I used to do back in the early 1980s when I owned my last car that had points, condenser, and distributor? Is that the “tune up” you’re talking about?

Yeah, you might want to learn about a little thing called a “solid state ignition system”.

[polymuser]

Keep talking, Barry!

[TexanToTheCore]

If this is what we’ve been waiting for...this comment really is something that you would expect to come from Paris Hilton’s mouth.

[Williams]

Next question: Does Obama know there is a whole world that uses oil? That populations and industrialization are increasing world wide? Are the Chinese and Indians inflating tires and getting tune ups also?

It's like Obama thinks there is a steady amount of energy, people and demand and if we'd all just "act right" and do what he tells us, the energy magically becomes available.

BTW if tire pressure will equal all possible domestic oil drilling why have I not heard of this solution or seen it enacted before?

[river rat]

The silly incompetent big eared sonuvabitch is even more stupid than I had feared.

[isthisnickcool]

My box of rocks thinks Obama is dumb....

[Williams]

I vote for tune ups, tire inflation AND domestic drilling.

“The moron actually said that??”

Yes.
Watch the video

This is crying out to be made into an ad. It will infuriate people - talking to us like we're idiots -
as well as pretty much saying that there's no need to drill - just inflate your tires, morons.

This MUST be made an ad -ending with a poor family with the bare minimum on the supper table. When supper's over, a kid holds up his plate and asks for more. Mother looks at the empty platter on the table, then turns to the child and says: “Lick your plate.”

Freep the ad makers at GOP and McCain site

[moose2004]

Pardon my lianguage but this idiot must be one of the dumbest bastards I’ve ever seen. Just watch the video and you will be amazed. McCain’s having a good day considering the Ludacris song flap and now the messiah’s incredible claim that keeping our car tires inflated and getting regular tune ups will result in fuel savings equal to any new domestic drilling. I’m speechless.

[Schnucki]

He sounds a lot like sheryl “One Square” crowe.

[mikrofon]

Obama’s answer to every question is to puff up and inflate his ego...

[FrankR]

Ok...the very next time I tour all 57 states, I will make sure that there will be air in my tires, and I will stop every 100 miles for a tune up.

Of course with stations charging for "AIR" nowadays, and tune-ups required trained computer expert mechanics, I would spend much more than the $4 gasoline would cost.

I'd be willing to bet that obamahussein wouldn't know how to put air in a tire if you paid him.

I don't know about the rest of America, but I'm getting a little tire of all this carter-era stuff being regurgitated by the liberals. I'm not going to drive 55, nor adjust my thermostat from "comfortable" to "miserable". If I check my air, it's to keep my tires from premature wear, and I'll get a tune-up when the "check engine" light comes on.

How to we all get a national letter together to obamamamama telling him to kiss our collective a$$eS?

[bereanway]

Just how stupid can stupid get between now and the first tuesday of November? All McCain has to do is shutup and let this guy self-destruct.
