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.

Wait a minute .... reduce our OIL consumption by 3 to 4 percent? I beg to differ. Oh it will improve our GAS MILEAGE 3 to 4 % per car. But that is way off from reducing our OIL consumption by 3 to 4 percent.
Unless I'm missing something here.

Heyuck! I are ign’rntly and bitterly clingin’ to my guns and Bible. And I vote!

The best things in life are free; for everything else, there's whitey. The Obama campaign is teaming up with credit card giant Mastercard to issue the official race card of the 2008 presidential elections. The credit card automatically charges whites for everything!

If the Obambi wants to see ignorant, he should look in a mirror. Or talk to Pelosi and Reid. Now THERE’S ignorant.

I was just thinking that. . .like a thug. . .I can’t imagine George W saying something like that; he’s always so polite. (Too polite, maybe.)
