Obama: GOP Detractors ‘Take Pride in Being Ignorant’

Barack Obama, responding to a week of taunts from John McCain’s campaign, said Tuesday that his Republican detractors “take pride in being ignorant” and that it’s 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 “Obama’s 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 don’t 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.

“It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant,” he said.

Now THAT’S funny!

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.

Oh, dear, in that video, we see the hand to the nose again. Haven’t seen that for a while. But his vacation is coming up...

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.

From his official campaign website...

Obama Campaign Site: "I'm sick of old people" and "Greedy Old People"

“It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant,” he said.

[Anti-Hillary]

Hilarious!!!!

“Bitterly clinging to my religious guns, over here.”

OOOH, a religious gun!!? I never heard of a religious gun but I like it already!

[HighlyOpinionated]

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

"This is the kind of thing THEY do."

It's as if he is speaking about a brick wall, not living breathing, voting people!

What a schmuck! What a _______________kety ______________ schmuck!

Very creative girl, there. She’s got a future somewhere.

I never heard of a religious gun but I like it already!

Sure you have - you fire it, and exclaim "CHRIST THAT WAS LOUD!"

[metmom]

The only thing inflated in obama’s world is his ego.

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!

These idiots are trying to herd the sheep into A New Reality.

[Global2010]

I am TELLING ON YOU, you said a racist word CLAN

[Miss Didi]

America is getting sick of him.

And I thought the Clintons made me scream!

[KosmicKitty]

I’m so ignorant I think there’s 57 states!

[xp38]

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.

[kinghorse]

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.
