ignorance?

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.

Someone should tell Obama that you get better campaign mileage with a properly inflated ego. Running on the rims like that is going to start a fire.
You’re being to hard on the man. This is great man. How do I know? He greatness was such that he felt compelled to author an autobiography at the age of 25.
Snoot,snoot(nose risen pompously high!)! It’s The Editor of THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW. Those working at the Review said he did absolutely nothing and published absolutely nothing, that he was a total nothing while Editor and that they dont know where he ever came from.
“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.”
Come on taxcontrol...you know that if you say it enough times people/sheeple will believe it as being true because , well....he’s Obamessiah. It’s called winning the propaganda war. A step in the marxist revolution.
Sheesh! You should see the comments at Politico
“This is the Obama i have been waiting for. Go after the GOP for been (sic) stupid. The GOP is the party that wants to keep all Americans ignorant. They don’t have any idea whatsoever”
“I’m going to watch this over and over for the rest of the day. This is why we need to elect Barack Obama president: HE IS SMART. It’s been so long we’ve forgotten what that’s like.”
“Kick ‘em in the ‘nads, Barack! Make these scumbag girlymen sing soprano!”

I need a shower...
I may be ignorant. But, I can score better than 37 everytime.
Well, he's a grate man. He certainly grates on me.
Try a little harder, smart guy. All us ignorant folk understand what your energy program du jour is really going to do.
(see also Michigan and Florida primary voters)
The charge of ignorance is coming from a person who claims that his solution to high energy prices is an "End to the Age of Oil in Our Time."
Maybe he ought to put some ice on his tire gauge...
Succinct. To the point. Accurate. LOL
Just like how “we’re” ignorant of the root causes of terrorism. Ignorant of Ahmadinejad’s desire for peace. Ignorant of the benefits of wealth redistribution, infanticide, and black liberation theology.
“We” were all ignorant of Rev. Wrights true love for America, and Pfleger’s loving community work.
Yep, “we” were ignorant of McCain’s racial attacks on Obama.
“We’re” either REALLY ignorant, or Obama is a pathological lying scum sucker.
Dems. The gift that just keeps giving.
Did you ever notice that we can hardly have an election where they don't go and shoot themselves in the foot by not learning how to shut up? Every single one of them is a loose cannon.
I’m waiting for “I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.”
Obama’s the one who claimed that just inflating our tires and getting tune-ups would save as much oil as we could gain by all the drilling we Republicans want to do.
So, comparing apples to apples, he’s the ignorant one WRT his own Plan.
What he has added today is an incredibly ill advised ad hominem attack on approximately half the voters in the country. What a buffoon he is.
No wonder the kkk and neonazis are so pleased at the thought of a President Obama - he will make black people look bad for a century (despite being 1/2 white). I think they also underestimate the poverty pimps - if Obama is president, the Sharpton-Jackson wing of the rat party will complain that “America was only ready for a white-raised, Ivy-educated halfrican-American” and use the election as a novel indictment of “racist Amerikkka”. It is 2008, and this racist BS would have gone extinct already if select groups did not profit from its proliferation.
Not jellybeans. Jellied cat. Click on one of the media players.
