I saw a bit of the Colbert Report yesterday (Comedy Central’s news wing). They were doing their best to resurrect Obama’s tire gauge remark by “proving” it to be brilliant, citing AAA and government officials to show it aids with gas mileage.
It was pretty heavyhanded and altogether too transparent (they even did the Good Picture of Obama/Bad Picture of McCain trick). The Messiah is in trouble of becoming a buffoon, something McCain’s campaign is helping hasten.
McCain can afford to laugh at himself because he has the experience and career to balance it out. All Obama has is his image, and once that’s tarnished, it’s over for him.
The tire guage thing is a gift that just keeps on giving.
People should consider suing him for the bad advice, if they over inflated their car tires and then got into a car accident because their car's handling changed from being a good handling car to hazzardous one.
Not to mention all the premature tire wear causing land fills to fill up even faster with used tires. Not very "enviromentaly responsible advice.
Then there is the extra wear and tear on their vehicles suspension components, forcing more cars to a premature death.
I can hardly wait for more Obama tips on how to end our dependence on ME oil without drilling/using our own resources.
I think the critical point came when the MSM touted the story of how comedians haven’t been able to find anything really funny about Obama.
It was like a Triple Dog Dare to many of us, and the rest is history.
