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.

Let them laugh and mock.
When Obama loses this election because of his big mouth (and bird brain), we’ll see who has the last laugh.
Exactly right! those on underinflated tires are probably lesefore any improvement ins than 10% of the driving population and probably drive less than 1% of the total miles drive, therefor Obama’s numbers are total LIES AND BULLPOOP!
Arrogance and hubris seem to be the most visible characteristics of the Democrat Party’s leading politician.
Underneath all that false bravado, the Democrat Party big wigs must be kicking themselves for not derailing his candidacy when they had a chance. This race is McCain’s to lose.
According to the mechanic on Rush’s show today Obama is the one who is ignorant!
Obama’s arrogant. That’s arrogant, not “uppity”. Those who wish to call me racist for calling Obama arrogant can shut the Hell up.
We’re ignorant? I’d like to see that milque-toast try to inflate, much less change, a tire.
“At least he didn’t say it was RACIST!!!!!!!”
He leaves that to other people, most notably the news media.
Why oh why do I think that Barry O missed his calling as a Bean Pie salesman?
Oil’s byproducts are used for a great variety of things.
Hussein Obama just called you ignert.
Whatever that means.........
Did Obama really say this? Is he deliberating self-destructing?
Sure he can. On top of that, he can name all 57 states.
Or is it 58?
59?
I have two words for you, Senator:
Fitty. Seven.
With head held high.
For everything else there's Obamarrogance!
How often have they mentioned the 57 states????
The hypocrisy of the MSM is unconscionable!!
Oh no he di’int!
Is there anyone left for this guy to insult?
