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.

Bitterly clinging to my religious guns, over here.
(what he really meant.)
“It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant,” he said”
Must be a Ludacris implant. Of course if he said that on the street, he would be beaten like a the little woos he is.
He got exposed playing the race card, so now his new meme is to call anyone who disagrees with his nonsense ignorant.
Keep talking Obama, just keep talking. Being teleprompter free, lets everyone see...
Dang, we really should wise up. /s
The only thing that exceeds his arrogance,,,,is his conceit.
This newbie has way too thin of skin and is making a rookie mistake. Never go defensive, always stay on message and on the attack.
Check this out! According to Obama, we are all ignorant for daring to point out that the former is an inexperienced, arrogant, lying, socialist buffoon.
BTTT
This is the THUG that will bring ‘Peace in Our Time’.....LOL
He had called American voters racists, bitter, xenophonic, clingers (to guns and religion), typical white people and now ignorant. How many people is the arrogant SOB going to insult before he learns to shut his yapper?
Hah. Look who is calling the Kettle black.
Yeah, we're real ignorant, especially those of us in the 51st - 57th States.
Oh...I totally agree...but he is now showing his true colors more vividly with statements like this.
America is getting sick of him.
Americans don't like to be condescended to and really dislike being told that not agreeing with or voting for some inexperienced leftist politician with an African father makes them de facto racists. The media hype is also annoying to many average voters. No one wants to be told, in effect, that Obama is 'practically' president already and your vote is just a formality.
I may be mistaken, but despite Bush's low job approval numbers and McCain's less-than-stellar campaign (so far) I think Obama peaked way too soon. The backlash is growing and I believe he'll go down in flames (metaphorically) in the November election. If prayer can effect that outcome, he must certainly will.
“Ignorant? The Obamaloon couldn’t find America on a map.”
Yes, and all 57 states of it.
