Obama: GOP Detractors ‘Take Pride in Being Ignorant’

Barack Obama, responding to a week of taunts from John McCains campaign, said Tuesday that his Republican detractors take pride in being ignorant and that its time to get serious.
The Illinois senator was responding in part to criticism from Republicans who mocked him for suggesting last week that Americans could save on energy costs and gas by properly inflating their tires. McCain surrogates passed out tire gauges that say Obamas Energy Plan, and McCain said last week the only thing Obama has proposed with regard to energy is to inflate tires.
This is the kind of thing they do. I dont understand it, Obama said at a town hall meeting in Berea, Ohio, Tuesday. Two points: One, they know they are lying about what my energy plan is, but the other thing is they are making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent.
Its like these guys take pride in being ignorant, he said.

Obama is self-destructing. Furthermore, since nobody wants to insult the black guy, the DNC is gonna go down with the ship.

If I were Mccain I would be satisfied being called ignorant, Obama’s energy plan of inflating tires and tuning up your car to offset off shore drilling is just plain moronic.

It's easy to press this narcissistic dim bulb's buttons. Well deserved mockery makes him crazy. He doesn't realize that he is a nothing who has been fed false praise and given undeserved opportunities by self hating libs and their insane version of reparations called affirmative action.

Can you say "the audacity of elitist snobism?" What a phony poser or as we say "poseur" using the French spelling.

Don't say that also, From what I understand, saying the kettle black is racist. This is coming from Amarosa, the dumbest woman I have seen on Donald Trumps show. It so happens a guy name Pierce called her out on something and used that line to her and she said it was racist. I laughed my butt off when I heard her say that. That was as almost as good as the one made during a City Council meeting and some black councilman got offended about how someone described that some tickets or something were getting lost in a “black hole” (probably messed it up, dont quite remember the facts) but it looks like some people are getting really sensitive these days!

McCain should challenge him to a Presidential Candidates edition of Jeopardy. Cynthia McKinney as the 3rd contestant for humor value. I think Alex would be a better moderator than the ones they picked for the debates today.

He’s angering some people with this crap. Bitter, clinging to guns and ignorant. Yeah I’d say he’s not endearing himself. He’s a mean a-hole at his core.
