Wow,this little punk said that the gas tax reduction would be too little to even matter, yet inflating tires and getting a tune up will provide just as much as drilling? Well, let’s get tune ups, inflate our tires, drill, reduce the gas tax, and build new refineries. Then, we would be doing great, NoBama. BTW, dipstick, why is it that all you liberals are ALWAYS for reducing our freedoms and asking us to use less? What a bunch of f’ing control freaks.
If I just inflated my tires eh? And a tune-up?
So, if I inflate my tires and get an extra mile or two per gallon, lets say two to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, and I drive 10000 miles in a year what will that actually save me. I want stats.
SCENARIO 1:
25 mpg – uninflated tires
10000 Miles
400 gallons * $4 per gallon = $1600 cost
SCENARIO 2:
27 mpg inflated tires
10000 miles
370 gallons *$4 per gallon = $1481 cost
SCENARIO 3:
25 mpg uninflated tires
10000 miles
400 gallons * $2.50 per gallon = $1000
You choose the scenario. I’ll go with the uninflated tires and MORE DRILLING! Excuse me Obama, please stop talking out of your windpipe.
I don’t know where this guy is getting his stats, but they are dead wrong.
God help us! Please!
What an idiot!!! He keeps giving McCain ammo to blow him out of the race, unfortunately the McCain campaign is almost as inept as Obama!!!
Look at the people in the crowd. They’re so mesmerized by this guy that they don’t even hear what he’s saying anymore – they’re just enthralled to be in the presence of the annointed one. He could probably tell them they could fly if they really wanted to and they’d just cheer.
I have no idea how the heck he could back up the statement that came out of his mouth. No wonder he doesn’t want to debate McCain in town hall type debates – he might get challenged on something he says.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not a McCain fan either.
I just wonder how, out of a country of 300 plus million people, we ended up with these two clowns to choose from for President. Sorry to say, but I’m afraid America is going to get the President it deserves.
The more this guy opens his mouth his vote count gets lower and lower. He says the most idiotic things I’ve ever listened to. He is nothing but a big liar.
Wow… And, he wants to lead the United States. Dude, is living in Disneyland!
Just put on another sweater…Jimmy Carter II
Gas will never be 2.50 a gallon again..
More drilling= more profit for the fat cats.
People act like drilling tomorrow will save them money next week.
HAHAHA
If they drill, by the time they get the oil, if its there , inflation will make up the difference.
How about making better American cars??
That way we don’t have to buy other countries vehicles that are supplying the American demand for better milage.
Americans with jobs and cars that can compete in the market!!
I know I am crazy. No need to tell me on a messege board.
What an idiot. How about he inflates his brain to match the PSI of his ego?
And this guy went to Harvard
This is why he won’t do town halls w/ McCain, he will show how stupid he is. It appears he is finding other ways…
Lower Tire inflation = More Flat Tires = more oil used to make those tires. I can’t believe this clown is running for President.
Ric, Bush has increased the federal budget to a $500 Billion deficit, (when the deficit was $450 Billion in 2003, his campaign promise was to cut the deficit in half by 2006 btw.) We are in a hole that we need to get out of. If you cut the gas tax you have to increase the income tax to offset the balance. We cant keep borrowing money from China and Japan our dollar will be worth nothing, the national firesale will continue, and our economy will be in the gutter. The answer is not handing over federal land to the oil companies, We need a combination of all schools of thought here republican and democrat, We need to enact a resolution to force the oil companies to drill on the land they already lease, build new refineries, and encourage conservation.
If the Dem Congress would just “say” they would drill for oil would drop drastically. The rest of the world does not want the US to drill for our own oil. Doesn’t anyone get this?
SCENARIO 1:
25 mpg – uninflated tires
10000 Miles
400 gallons * $4 per gallon = $1600 cost
SCENARIO 2:
27 mpg inflated tires
10000 miles
370 gallons *$4 per gallon = $1481 cost
SCENARIO 3:
25 mpg uninflated tires
10000 miles
400 gallons * $2.50 per gallon = $1000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How about scenario FOUR: which is a combination of scenario 2 and 3. The less oil we use, due to higher efficiency standards, the more the price of oil goes down.
But your too dumb to realize that. Kudos to you. You must be a Mccain supporter with no economic sense.
This is an excellent point. The lying rightards can scoff but this is truth.
The benefit of inflating tires? little at best.
benefit of offshore domestic drilling? Again, little at best.
C’mon, folks. This bozo is talking to his boyz in da hood. You know, those dirty, banged up, leaky oil, slipping transmission, cracked windshield, greasy window, rusty, droopy headliner, trunk-held-shut-with-a-hanger, ashtray-full-of-Kool-cigarette-butts, no rearview mirror clunkers his ghetto buddies sleep in, eat in, have sex in, and drive. They haven’t tuned them up or changed the oil in years. And their shiny new 24’s have the right amount of air in them.
It’s that simple?? Really?? Thank goodness Obama showed up to help us solve this dilemma. We’re saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hes glowing as he speaks….and counting the sheeples….
What next ? Will Obama pass a law making you inflate your tires and tune up your car ? Sorry, please ignore those last two statements because some Liberal might actually take them seriously !
I am suprised he hasnt suggested that we run cars off his saliva yet. Everything that comes out of his mouth is just so incredible according to all these libs. I am sure he can power cars with anything that is in his mouth, right?
Tune ups is the change we can believe in?
This guy is so far out in left field – so now we can still be dependent on foreign oil, pay a higher market price – but make up the difference by inflating our tires and getting regular tuneups.WOW! You are so dumb Barry – remember every dollar spent for oil goes outside of this country and supports others getting jobs, and even groups that want to see this country overthrown, imagine that.
Most cars to day do not require tune ups for either 50 or 100,000 miles manufacturer’s suggestions. So if I had gotten one more tune up and inflated the tires lets say weekly, I even own my own compressor I would have done better.
Barry – Jeep Cherokee 165,000 miles – 3 tune-ups, 3 sets of plugs, 3 sets of tires, oil changes every 5,000 miles – guess what I still get 15.2mpg city ( same as day one ) 18mpg highway (same as day one) only variable is the price of oil has skyrocketed – so where do you get your information. Is it your felon buddy at the University of Illinois the former Weatherman or Jeremiah Wright the cheerful but hateful minister, I know it can’t be Jesse Jackson because he wants to remove part of your anatomy. So who is giving you this information – is it that homely little daughter of Jimmy Carter you the one that he used to confer with on weighty subjects – she is all grown up now and must be as smart as her daddy was. Or is this something you learned while the editor of the Harvard Law Review. Do not tell me it is part of the affirmative action program of education you were allowed to partake in. Let us know – because otherwise all we can do is consider you to stupid and that is a hard malady to fix.
sorry Rich..lol…just amazes me how the blind follow the blind…for anyone to take this flipfloppin liberal serious is beyond me..
Shazbot21, you described my thoughts exactly!
Did that idiot say that out loud? I will say if he believes this will fix our gas problems, then a Harvard education is wayyyyyyyyyyy overrated! Wow, scary this guy could actually be running the free world in 6 months.
To former republican…..if you cut gas taxes you get more revenue also the last time I read my government 101 book the president cannot spend any money unless approved by our inept congress which has been on a downturn since the start of 2006…hmmm. We need more people in touch with reality. How does a backyard barbeque sound with Obama, Reid , and Pelosi…imagine 4 years of it.
alan
I agree with alot you have to say but not all.
Who are these fat cats you talk about? Maybe the millions of Americans who own the oil companies stock in their 401ks. We do need to drill here and drill now to get off of as much of foreign oil as possible while new technologies are developed. Al Gore says the Chinese will end up buying all the oil leases in 10 years or so and we should convert to solar. Who does he think will build all those solar pannels the U.S., no they will be made in China. The short term thinking of or congress is waht has gotten us into this situation. We need a long term strategy to over come this. As much as we might not like it oil is in our future for a long time. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a dreamer and a fool.
My tires are properly inflated, and I just spent about $500 on routine maintenance.
…
Yep. Gas is still about $4/gallon. WTH?
Tell ya what, one thing this empty suit Obama knows about is HOT AIR. He has produced enough to inflate every tire in the country. How his half witted supporters can say that LESS supply will lower prices is beyond me. GW talks about DRILLING and the price of oil DROPS!!!!! (or was that Pelosi saving the world??) BTW I guess his highness hasn’t heard about low rolling
resistance tires– standard on must cars these days. Well, these lying liberals never done took much science in the Haaavard AA program. Every time empty suit gets off the teleprompter he does more damage to his artifical self.
Help Al….my car has a fever, where do I put the aspirin
All nonsense aside, what this guy and many others are suggesting (rightfully so) is that Americans are GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DO WITH LESS and HOW TO STRETCH WHAT WE HAVE.
Why do some people take that as an INSULT or THREAT? It is PURE FACT. The world’s resources are dwindling and its population keeps increasing. We are ALL going to have to learn how to THINK FIRST before we USE DWINDLING RESOURCES–and that goes for a lot more than just oil and gas.
Americans have never (not since Depression Days and W.W. II) had to RATION MUCH OF ANYTHING, and the time has arrived when we really need to buckle down and ask “IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?” before we utilize much of anything any more.
Sorry, but that is just the WAY IT IS. Get used to it. SIMPLIFY, PARE DOWN, CONSERVE, and TRY TO LIVE WITH A SMALLER FOOTPRINT IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. Do it for Mother Earth and for yourself, and not because some politico windbag tells you to do it.
Thank you and good night and good luck!
PS If humans REALLY want to reduce the amount of resources it is wasting, it would STOP HAVING SO DA*NED MANY BABIES THAT THE HUMAN RACE AND MOTHER EARTH CAN ILL AFFORD TO FEED! (Inflate your condoms while you’re at it!) LOL…

IF YOU EVER WENT TO SCHOOL DUST OFF THE OLD ECONOMICS BOOKS. DRILLING WOULD LOWER THE COST OF GAS BEFORE IT EVEN HIT THE MARKET. FYI-The industry seems to think the oil can hit the market in less than 4 years, and all respectable research organizations say we have more oil in this country than all of the middle east combined.
DRILL NOW!
Here’ the problem. I don’t know what a proper tire inflation is, nor do I know when it’s the proper time to tune up my engine. Solution; a new government agency to inspect all vehicles and let us know what should be done. Think of all the new jobs this would creat! They could even charge us penalties if they find we’re not in compliance. Think of all the revenue that would generate!
What a smart guy he is. I’m hoping he can save us all before it’s too late!
How stupid does he think we are?. Oh wait, VERY STUPID, we are just americans:)
Go away Snobama!!!!
Barry is by far the most delusional person on the planet,I mean except for pelosi, reid,and gore and most ot the rest of the demos trying desperately to be in control. god help the usa.
Dear “TIGHTEN YOUR BELT”
Why is it that everytime this obama character says something that is clearly idiotic or questionable you and your liberal friends flip out. And everytime you flip out and defend him you argue a different point. You point of do less and stretch what we have is noted, but thats not what obama said? He flat out said tune ups and inflating tires has the same impact as offshore oil drilling. I think we can both agree thats a really dumb thing to say and completely false.
people need to address what the man said, not what they think he ment.
So what I’m understanding here is The higher gas prices rise, the more money I’ll save by inflating my tires.
BRILLIANT! Yes this man is wise beyond his years!
and I can find 50 items on ebay that will lower my gas mileage. If i just buy them all and install them I’ll get -55 MPG. My car will generate gas. OMG!
Face it, Obama is a media invention. He is revenge for bush. Are you beginning to see the change this man will bring? People better wise up to what a farce the whole Obama illusion is. just smoke, and mirrors.
The man does not care about high gas prices. Like Hillary, he will increase taxes on Oil companies. And what will that do to lower prices? twist their arm into submission. This is one problem we can’t tax our way out of. JHis solution to high gas is inflate my tires. Wow, thank you sir, now I can buy food next month, and cover my rent. I wish I could be like you. Please touch my head and heal me from disease as well. I’m just a peon in your religious, cult following. What a worm am i in your high presence, oh dear one! forgive my small mind. I am to be pittied. I’ll say 100 Obama’s, will that bring forgiveness high one?
Whew! For a while there I thought Obama didn’t have an energy policy. We can all breath easier now that he has shown us the way to save gas and, in my case, diesel fuel. Who would have thought it would be this easy. Obama, you’re my hero!
I may not agree with what Obama said, but that was a terrible comparison Scott K.
When he first came on the scene, I gave some thought to voting for him, until I looked at what he was actually saying (or not saying for that matter). Thankfully, my wife (a liberal) also thinks that he’s a paper candidate with nothing positive to offer to the country. I wish the Republican candidate was someone better than McCain, but he’s still a while lot better than Obama. And no, that doesn’t mean I don’t support Obama because he is black…give me a black conservative presidential candidate and I’ll vote for them any day!
thats interesting because i inflate my tires and get regular tune ups, yet i still pay $4 a gallon at the pump.
Judging by the kool-aid comments here just shows that libtards have no clue about how the futures and commodities markets work.
If congress opens up drilling thus bringing more supply on line – the futures and commodities traders will sell their oil futures contracts thus dropping the price of oil.
Of course, the democrats in CONgress want the price of gasoline to be high so they can receive bigger tax revenue from higher gasoline prices.
And they have the audacity to talk about windfall profits.
Even if we did what lord Obama commanded, it would not lessen by one drop the amount of imported oil we use. We must still start to drill now while letting the enterprising spirit of America begin to develop an alternative for the future. We are still going to need oil for the future and I’d rather start getting it here.
Even if it takes 10 years( which I believe it won’t ) we need to start now.
And remember all of you, even if there was an alternative fuel available in abundance now, how many millions of vehicles out there do we use that run on gasoline? Do you really believe we all have enough money to all go out an buy a new vehicle that would initially be pretty expensive?
Wake up all of you! We have and will have a growing economy that currently runs on oil. You can never achieve prosperity through conservation. Period. Drill here, Drill now–A year from now you’ll wish we had started today.
“All nonsense aside, what this guy and many others are suggesting (rightfully so) is that Americans are GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DO WITH LESS and HOW TO STRETCH WHAT WE HAVE.”
Ok, since dvds/cds/film/tape are made from petroleum perhaps the entertainment industry will step up to the plate offering to end all production of its luxury item.
Oh, and get rid of the live concerts too; what a waste driving around the country with an entourage of semis hauling around a bunch of electrical equipment for two hours of ear candy.
No more live concerts also means on more AC used to cool The Boss’s fans after he gets them hot and sweaty grooving on his electrical fantasy.
Hey Bruce Springsteen, while on your current tour remember to “LEARN HOW TO MAKE DO WITH LESS and HOW TO STRETCH WHAT WE HAVE.”
Are you kidding me!!!?! How is this guy leading in the polls? America, wake up and realize this man has absolutely no idea how economics and energy policy work!
This man is a joke, and the bigger joke are the lemmings who buy into his nonsense.
How about scenario FOUR: which is a combination of scenario 2 and 3. The less oil we use, due to higher efficiency standards, the more the price of oil goes down.
But your too dumb to realize that. Kudos to you. You must be a Mccain supporter with no economic sense.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for that. My example is to prove that Obama is wrong in his statement, not to suggest an alternative to his statement. Your flaming of me is pretty ridiculous. You assume I would not acknowledge your logic and on that assumption further assume that I’m stupid. Yes, obviously if we drilled and inflated our tires, that would be even better and save a little bit more.
Now what I would like you to understand is that I don’t want to use less oil. I want to be able to drive 900 miles to see my buddies who I haven’t seen for a year without having to think for a while about how I’m going to make that money. The less oil we use, the lower standard of living we have. Now you might 1. call me stupid for not wanting to save the planet or 2. call me stupid because you think that I will be able to make that trip once the price goes down. However, if were talking about using less oil to make prices go down (which is a valid point), once the prices go down far enough for me to make that trip, they will probably have risen again because people will have started to use more oil because it became more affordable.
Whatever happens, some people arn’t as stupid as you assume. I for one am certainly open for suggestions because I don’t know everything. However, I do know that I disproved Obama’s statement in 2 minutes using 7th-8th grade math. Yes we will save money by inflating our tires. That money will not be entirely substantial. If we went back and did more research, like Chevrolet has done, they find that having proper tire inflation can add 3% to your gas efficiency. If that efficiency is 25mpg, 3% of 25 is .75 miles, not the 2 miles I originally suggested. Applying that to our 10000 mile formula, you get 388 miles * $4 = $1552 cost …savings of 48 dollars over the year. Yes Obama is right in concept – proper tire inflation = savings, but he is wrong to suggest the savings will be monumental. It’s $48 dollars and it’s nothing new to inflate tires properly. The recent drop in prices of oil will save the average consumer $160 based on the same purchase of 400 gallons and the effective savings I’ve personally seen at the pump since two weeks ago of 40 cents per gallon. That happened without any oil hitting the market. Imagine what would happen if we actually started drilling?
But yeah, I’m stupid and don’t know anything.
Yes, those things do help some, but the thing that Obama just can’t hide is how stunningly stupid he is. And to think that as many as 48% of the American voters will vote for him!!!
Obama says inflating our tires will save as much or more than we can get by offshore drilling.
Let’s do some math. According the the US Dept of the Interior offshore reserves are approximately 116 Bill barrels.
http://www3.thestar.com/static/PDF/080619_McCain-oil-reserves-Color.pdf
At 20 Mill barrels/day that equates to 5800 days or 15.8 years — OF OUR ENTIRE USAGE! Proper inflation while a good conservation effort will only save 2-3% or about 11 days of oil. Note that this assumes that everyone is seriously deflated the actual amount would be significantly less. Edmunds did some tests and the actual savings were inconclusive. http://www.edmunds.com/advice/fueleconomy/articles/106842/article.html
So in the worst case it would take 524 years for Obama’s suggestion to match what we can get offshore. Don’t get me wrong. We need to conserve, inflate, carpool, etc. We also need to drill, have nuclear, coal, natural gas as well as wind and solar.
Obama better get his facts straight or he will get smeared in the public arena as he should. I am sure mainstream media won’t do it but facts have a way of escaping even if the press ignores them! Smooth talkers can only go so far. We the American public are not as DUMB as some think!
I’m not sure where he gets this information at, but I keep my vehicles in top shape! Putting more air in my tires and having tune-ups and such, keeps my truck in top shape – a whopping 26 mpg – and yes, if I you don’t take care of your engine, you will loose a few mpg’s but not a lot! That is commone sense. Everyone should be getting tune-ups on their cars – you’re engine will last longer, but not solve this situation!!
In my town, at Chevron, regular is $4.15 and 1.5 weeks ago it was 4.41 – Now THIS is solving the $100 gas fee – not inflating my tires and engine tune-ups!
MR OBAMA! GET REAL YOU MORONIC FOOL! I agree with some previous comments, the crowd appears to not even hear WHAT he’s saying .. stupid people!
LOL!
Ric thinks that oil companies are barred from building oil refinaries!
You’re not the brightest, nor the most informed. Shell just closed a huge refinary in California… because they wanted to close the refinary. Not because they had to.
There are some people that will use any excuse to keep driving their SuperDuty’s. That’s fine if you want to. But you just look like an idiot when you cry about gas prices.

And everytime you flip out and defend him you argue a different point. You point of do less and stretch what we have is noted, but thats not what obama said?”
The remarks were less addressed to anything Obama (”this guy”) said and more to what someone earlier whined about, that they resented anybody saying we have to make do with less… The REALITY is:
We are all going to have to make do with LESS– Less gas, less oil, less water, less MONEY…
Compared to other countries, we’ve all lived a profligate, wastrel existence in USA for many decades and to quote some loud-mouthed, would-be “minister” who shall remained unnamed, the “chickens are coming home to roost.”
Why is it every time someone posts something that does not outright blast & condemn Obama, others often assume the poster is an Obama-fan?! Just because a person believes we must all begin to TIGHTEN OUR BELTS does not automatically put them into any particular camp. The choices for the upcoming election are so lousy, we may not even bother to vote! Why should we? One way, we get 4 more years of Bush-cr*p to the detriment of our country; the other way, we get (at least) 4 years of RACIAL-cr*p-in-your-face and Liberal-cr*p that’s already dug us deep in a seemingly Bottomless Pit, to the detriment of our country.
This is a BLEAK time for Americans, and it’s likely to get bleaker, regardless of who wins.
PS Earlier post didn’t say “do less,” it said DO *WITH* LESS. Big difference!
[...] Original Breitbart.tv [...]
My God – he really is stupid – I thought perhaps only arrogant – and inexperienced.
I hope that gets some air time – good for a few laughs.
Syn, you give away your age, ha!, if the most important thing you can think of is the impact on the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY when it comes to TIGHTENING OUR BELTS as a nation/society/culture.
Sheesh! Would’ve loved to see you try to survive during TRUE hard times, when there was no electricity, no running water, no automobiles, no telephone, no television, no internet… you get the idea (one hopes)…
TIGHTENING YOUR BELT refers to a lot more than giving up your favorite ENTERTAINMENT.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
Is Jimmy Carter his daddy? He is using Jimmy’s playbook from the late 70’s. This is sad.
Just a minute, I’ll put on my sweater and go out and put some air in my tires. Oh, I feel so much better now.
Wow! Next thing you know he’s going to claim he invented cars or something “Gore-esque”. What a commie Marxist.
He’s not saying oil prices will decrease if you tune up your car. He’s saying, proper car maintence could save you what current additional amount you are spending on gas.
I Can’t believe the idiots who make fun of Obama for what he said. One idiot makes a post and the other blinds follow! Does it ever cross your mind that what he meant was that drilling oil will not yield much savings? AND that is the reason he suggested inflating the tires and tune up? THINK THINK THINK for a change
yep
A month ago I did all that to try to make a difference.
He’s a fool, I tuned up and aired up and guess what on a 300 mile trip no change. Blows his idea out of the water.
Obama is a fool and the audience he was preaching to looks like they drank the Kool-Aide. Is he for real?
I bet those run flat tires his “up armored” SUV motorcade uses get shi-ty mileage.
This is why he won’t do ANY town halls with McCain. If he doesn’t have a pre-written (by someone else0 speech to READ off of a teleprompter, he sounds like an idiot.
The more people see of him, the less they like & trust him. Remember the world tour bounce that was supposed to happen in his polling? Nothing.
An arrogant man telling us what to do and pointing out what’s wrong with America. Never, even, pointing out what’s right.
I appreciate it when the media allows the public to comment on items that they post for public review. Of course, what usually ends up happening is that the majority of those that post a response are part of the lunatic fringe, the peanut gallery if you will. Here we have a well educated black male, making a statement about fuel efficiency, nothing to really see here that we haven’t heard before. Yet, how does this garner the response of calling him an idiot? What type of person uses “Lib-tard” to describe an opposing position? How is he the messiah again? Lucky for us reality-centered folk, these people don’t speak for us, and thank god their aren’t more of them. Both McCain and Obama are good candidates for office, good luck to them both.
By the way, did you know that Rush Limbaugh is the nations most popular talk show? I’m sure you probably did, but did you know that Coast to Coast AM is the second most popular radio talk show? Curious indeed… Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between the crazy callers on either show, they all have that same “I’m a nut” tone to their voice.
if drilling won’t make but only a small difference, and it will take years….
so will wind & solar. they’ll only make small dent, cost more, and wil take decades.
so, by his logic, if we should not drill, we shouldnt do anything.
Dilling won’t solve our problem! (WHAT????)
Then, eating won’t stop you from starving.
Drinking won’t cure dehydration.
WE ARE NOT THAT STUPID OBAMA!
He wants high gas prices (even higher than now), he was just upset because it went up “too fast”.
Why do his supporters not get it? He wants socialism. And we will be 100% dependent on foreign oil for decades.
There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Obama, but this comment isn’t one of them. First – I noticed the other day both my cars had tires running low and fixed it. The prius has a running mpg tally and it went up ~3 mpg over a 4 hour trip, from the previous tally over an 11 hr trip. So, not hot air. Second – he’s making a point here. You won’t save all that much gas from tuning up your car. Similarly, drilling in the US for oil will yield net minimal results.
Libtards are crazy if they think this is gonna work. If we all get tune ups and fill our tires, it’s obvious that our tires would pop from the extra air. And then how would we deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies? Obama has clearly overlooked the need to ensure our babies have enough bottled hot water.
This is why McCain should be president. Since gas prices are at their highest point ever, we need to let American oil companies drill, so they can take advantage of the inflated costs that consumers are paying. If we wait much longer, they won’t be able to make as much money off of us… And if they don’t make money off of our bottled hot water deliveries to babies, then guess who does. The TERRORISTS. And do we really want that? Do we even want our babies drinking terroristic bottled hot water? I don’t think so. We want them drinking patriotic bottled hot water, American style!
Think about that one Libtards… No college degree is going to help you untie that knot. It’s pure reaganomics, and you don’t learn that it some east coast ivy league college.
Yeah, Obama, and to further conserve energy, we can also heat our homes this winter with cow patties and bathe once a week.
I reccomend that people blindly shooting down what Senator Obama has to say should first check the facts..
“The U.S. Energy Department estimates that every pound per square inch of
tire under-inflation wastes four million gallons of gas per day in the U.S. Tires that are under-inflated by five to seven pounds per square inch can
increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent, or two to three miles per
gallon…”
Why not conserve?
Are you all that selfish?
The anger in these comments is astounding.
Obomb’s a true blue Socialist — he wants to tell everyone what to do and how to live with no questions asked. Just send your paycheck and he’ll decide how much you’re entitled to live on!
Everyone needs to think long and hard before giving Obomb their vote! Be careful what you force the rest of us to endure!!!!
You know, in the 1970s when we had the “energy crisis”, Oil was going to run out in 10 to 20 years… Strange, we still have a lot of oil floating around.
Sure, people should do what they can to conserve, but NO – the folks in the US do NOT have to make do with less. That is a statement that is supported by what facts? None, period. What will happen is that people will innovate, come up with new materials, products and methods to deal with rising demand. It has happened in the past and it will continue to happen as we move forward. All this talk about giving up stuff is just fear mongering. Folks need to learn what true compromise is again. We need to drill more, we need to conserve as much as each person can (I don’t see Al Gore or all these folks telling you to give up “stuff” pushing their things out on the street), we need to come up with innovative technologies. But people in Congress need to learn how to talk to each other, and not ram legislation through all the time and not let real conversations happen. Or else maybe folks will finally get a clue and throw the idiots out of office. We can only wish.
Obama is a moron.
The only thing that will save this country is drilling and drilling and more drilling. So what if the Oil Combanies make money, they earned it.
We are happy to give them our money because they represent free enterprise. If they were to raise the price to $10/gallon, we would be happy to pay it! More profit for them means a better economy for all.
We don’t need no stinking Socialist to tell us to inflate our tires.
I am going to go out right now and let the air out of my tires just to show the libtards what morons they are. I am going to help the oil companies, too, by taking the air out of my neighbors’ tires, too, especially the libtard tires – the dirty ones with Obama or Gore stickers on them or without a Support-the-Troops magnetic sticker.
Let’s start a mass movement. Let’s show the Obamatard what we think of him and his phony-baloney schemes.
If everyone would deflate their tires by at least 4 pounds, oil consumption would increase by 5% and thus increase oil profits and the economy threefold. If everyone would deflate by at least 10 pounds we could finance an invasion of Iran and if we deflate by 20 pounds, we can eliminate the current $550 Trillion deficit.
Deflate your tires for Democracy. Do it for Freedom. Do it for Jesus. Just do it.
Drilling for oil and using our own natural resources will interfere with the radical environmentalist agenda, and the agenda of other nefarious groups who are using the environment as a club to beat America into submission. Democrats adhere to this agenda.
Destroy her freedom, her ability to produce, innovate and invent … destroy the will of the people and voila! … the rest of the world is free for the taking.
Obama is just a puppet on a string. It’s the people behind the scenes, the people financing this clown we need to watch.
Just the Facts
From the Department of Energy:
“You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure.”
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/maintain.shtml
From the White House:
Experts believe that OCS areas under leasing prohibitions could produce about 18 billion barrels of oil.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/07/20080714-7.html
From the Department of Energy:
Total world barrels: 1,317.447
This is the most recent assessment of proven World oil reserves stated by the DOE, with data provided by Oil & Gas Journal, Vol. 104.47 (December 18, 2006)
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/reserves.html
Its easy now to do the math.
The Off-Shore drilling that the Bush Administration is advocating would add 1.366% to the world’s accessible oil.
If keeping proper air in your tires can save 3.3% of your fuel consumption, and the Off Shore reserves represent 1.36% of the world’s oil, then Obama is not full of hot air, but your tires should be.
Kraigmason. Did you even read what I said? DID YOU?
I told you, inflating tires could make them pop. Especially if a libtard is doing it because we all know what latte-sipping, SanFrancisco-loving, Degree-holding, tree-hugging hippies with their ’smart’ cars don’t know how to use a tire gauge.
If I want to use 10% more gas, I will. And we all know whose side Jesus is on, so deal with it.
At this late hour I have to say that anybody who supports Obama is either a traitor or completely ignorant.
You know what a big part of the problem is? These folks are elected to office, and then act like the rest of us are a bunch of idiots. No one except someone in Congress can have an opinion on anything, or understand how anything works. It is like they suddenly have infinite enlightenment, and the rest of the common people are dumb. The church of Congress, where only the enlightened ones can lead.
Maybe if they actually sat with folks in a restaurant once in a while, or just actually spent time in their office and made calls to constituents instead of having “staffers” answer the phone, or send you bulk mail responses to your comments – and they never even address what you might have said. We have all been reduced to a stamp, an envelope and a form letter once these folks reach office. How is that representation of the people? And then you see Obama make absolutely inane statements like this and – well I am waiting to see the mainstream media push this story. You think Letterman or Leno will have something to say? Doubtful – they would probably be called racist for making a joke about him…
Sad.
I love these idiots who think that drilling does anything- ITS AN INTERNATIONAL MARKET! They act like the US keeps that oil in a magical US oil tank, that we use just for ourselves. When you look at our own government reports, oil drilling does nothing and takes twenty years. And by the way, McCain has opposed it for years, as does Arnold, and Bush’s brother when he was give of FL.
When you look at the pennies that drilling affects the market, Obama is correct.
What an idiot. My GOD What an idiot. So the solution to all our energy problems is to inflate our tires? The sad thing is that there are untold hoards of liberals that will cheer him on when he says something like that.
Thanks Barack, can we use the hot air from your speeches.
I don’t understand why everyone is so critical of this statement.
He is basically saying that the money saved from the price of gas going down, as a result of offshore drilling, is about the same as everyone optimizing their car’s fuel efficiency – in other words, very little. It makes more sense to drive less, buy more fuel-efficient vehicles, and find alternative sources of fuel.
And is it so bad that we drive less? Do we have to have monster-size hummers that get 5 mpg ? Does it really make sense?
I think our arrogance as Americans is ruining the economy, and just increases our poor global-image.
Just because we believe it’s our right as Americans to live this way, doesn’t mean we should!
I just checked with my mechanic and he said your full of **it.
“Just because we believe it’s our right as Americans to live this way, doesn’t mean we should!”
I think I spotted a Frenchman posing as an American… Go sip a latte. We do what we want.
First let me start by saying OBAMA is a snake in a $3,000.00 suit. And McMuffin is a fossil. I want “None of the Above” and lets start over again. Plus Public funds only NO PRIVATE MONEY.
But the charlatan did not go far enough. Inflating tires is stupid, but you can do 2 very basic things that will increase your gas mileage.
1. Get rid of the spare tire when you are driving in town. Spars tires weigh anywhere from lbs to lbs.
2. Gas weighs lbs a gallon you have a 15 gal tank fill it half way 7 gal at a time and you save lbs.
Tune ups are a great idea as fouled spark plugs rob power and efficiency.
Also, We need higher octane fuel. Burns better. pump fuel is crap. 95 oct 97 oct and 100 oct maybe even 105 oct. That will also increase gas mileage.
Number one killer of MPG is weight! Lighten your car as much as you can. When you buy a new car do not buy leather interior it weighs too damn much.
Keeping your vehicle functioning properly is a common sense thing that everyone should practice.
That is, however, no reason to not drill. You hear liberals spout off about federal oil leases that are unused…so why authorize off shore and ANWAR. I good example is natural gas in North Texas. For decades the technology to get the gas was not available. Now it is, so they are drilling everywhere. Most of the federal leases a have oil deposits that are not cost effective to attempt to recover…it would drive UP cost. Seems to me the logical approach is to get the oil that is cost effective now and save the other for the next technological advance occurs.
BTW Andrew…Our two “monster size Hummers” get 13 mpg…not 5. And I will take my chances in my H2 over the poor sucker in the smart car that runs a red light right in front of me.
OK Nobama I’ve inflated my tires and gas is still $4 per gallon. What now Barry?
You can’t make this stuff up!!!
Dept of the Interior 2006 estimates for OCS is from 85 to 115 billion barrels, and 420 trillion cubic ft of natural gas.
http://www.mms.gov/revaldiv/PDFs/2006NationalAssessmentBrochure.pdf
Not to mention the Rocky Mountain shale … estimated from 800 billion to 1.5 trillion barrels.
It’s downright insulting to pander to people by telling them to keep their tires properly inflated as if no one knew that.
It’s another example of the type of condescending bigotry that Obama displays … akin to his “bitter clinging to religion and guns” remark.
We have the oil reserves … start now. Waiting will do nothing except make the marxist enviro’s happy.
Using the same logic however, if we shouldn’t drill for oil because we won’t see results for a few years … why bother with solar and wind? If we can’t see results tomorrow, scrap the whole idea.
What a light weight. Obama and Pelosi – Dumb and Dumber….throw in Reid and you have the 3 Stooges. I can see why this man has never really accomplished anything. I can only hope that people really listen to him……the man is a moron.
Ditch the spare tire? Not the best idea.
Also, higher octain fuel has NOTHING to do with burning better AT ALL. Learn at least a tiny bit about stuff before proving you are an idiot online. The octane helps with higher compression and pinging (detonation happening before the spark) issues.
Gas weighs 6 lbs per gallon 6 gal lighter is a 36 lb savings
Spares are 40 to 100 lb
Also Air Conditioning 150 to 300 lbs added weight to car
“OK Nobama I’ve inflated my tires and gas is still $4 per gallon. What now Barry?”
Haha, I know! I just don’t understand. I turned off my lights while I was at work, and apparently global warming hasn’t gone away either. It’s NUTS that they recommend this stuff.
I switched from McDonalds to a salad yesterday and I’m still 65lbs overweight. These libtards don’t understand anything!!! LOL!
I got maybe 6 or 7 cars on my lawn. None of them has there tires inflated at all, and it don’t make a dam bit of difference. So as usaul Obam is a idiot
Pelosi says we might see a drilling platform from the shore … so we shouldn’t drill.
She says they will destroy our “pristine beaches”, so we shouldn’t drill.
Anyone seen a “pristine beach” around lately?
More oil seepage comes out of the earth than can possibly be spilled by a drilling accident … which are so far and few between Nancy must be desperate for talking points.
The democrats literally want to hold America hostage. How an “elected” representative can disregard the will of the nation is baffling.
I say arrest her for obstruction.
I inflate my tires and put grease on them to reduce friction. So far I estimate I have saved .04 cents in gasoline but I have had six rear end collisions and my insurance costs are now much higher.
Are you F’ing kidding me??? Is this guy for real?
I think that he needs to give back each and every degree that he has ever received.
THIS MAN IS STUPID.
No other word can describe this nuckelhead.
STUPID.
Maybe if people instead of inflating their tires, inflate this nuckelhead’s head and put in more brain’s.
If brains were firecrackers, this guy would not have enough to hear anything.
Obama is the stupidest candidate since Carter… educated into imbecility.
Drilling won’t help? What idiot thought that-obviously one that has no clue as to supply or demand functions.
President Bush repealed the executive order prohibiting drilling and sent legislation requesting Congress do the same. Nothing else changed in the world and the price for a barrel of oil dropped $20 in two weeks. What would happen if the Dhim leadership allowed a vote (it would pass.) And the facts are – some of the oil could see production within a year or two – 5 or 7 at the most.
If this had been approved 5 years ago, we wouldn’t be importing 70% of our oil from terror sponsoring nations.
Obama is nothing but a socialist idiot whose never accomplished anything on his own in his life.
Agent655
Ditching the spare tire is a great idea. The spare is a phone call away. And higher octane does make the car run more efficiently. I know I run 100 oct exclusivley and I get on average 3-4 mpg more than pump plus it emits less carbon. And the weight does help I guess only an idiot would know that, so what does that make you Agent?
Ditch ethanol … lower gas milegae means more fillups.
NO DRILL CHECKLIST
- inflate tires
- make sure car runs
- ditch spare tire
- keep gas tank mostly empty
- ditch A/C unit
- remove any non-essential items that may add weight
- no carpooling … increases weight of car
- ditch ethanol
- don’t drive … get on welfare or get some doctor to say you’re “depressed” and get SSI
OK–
If anyone actually reads all 90 some odd posta and finally gets to this one it’ll be amazing and you must’ve had alot of time on your hands but I just gotta say… I am a high school drop-out (not a proud one), but I dare say that seeing this man and listening to him, that I myself could actually be a better President than him! Good LORD is he stupid! God save us I pray!
So, if the tire manufacturers would just make tires that hold infinity p.s.i., our cars won’t have to burn any gasoline…right? This is probably another big right wing conspiracy between the tire companies and oil companies…right?
When are Republicans going to grow a pair and start calling this idiot on the moronic things that come out of his mouth?
ray s How sad you have to tell us WHAT The Messiah Obama REALLY said not what he ACTUALLY said. You Obamamaniacs are really a CULT! Dave C you really hit it on the Head the 3 Stooges, Obama, Pelosi, Ried. Reid “Oil is Dirty”, Obama Inflate your tires and we will not have to drill for oil” Pelosi “I want to save the Earth. God these three are actually “elected” by citizens…that is truly frightening!
Golly, We’re being enlightened with each sound bite! Why, just today we learned that Israel will defend herself and that we don’t need to drill for oil, just inflate our tires. Tomorrow Barrack Hussien Obama will inform us that not running with scissors will ease health care woes.
Next Tuesday I’ll be crossing a busy intersection, oh great Oz please tell me how.
Remember in November.
If increased supply will not make a difference how come Polosi us always griping about the Stategic Petroleum Reserve?
Everytime he opens his mouth I get a good laugh..Next he will want helium in our tires to make the car lighter.. Just words Just speeches..
Darwin add take our guns out of our cars too and our Bibles
I cut my gasoline costs in half. every time i go the filling station i only put half a tank of gas, where i use to fill up the tank. so instead of paying $60 per time now i am only spending $30.
Obama supporter.
Mt Griz …
Excellent observation
Thank you, Good Benevolent Obama, for the good advice.
Here’s one for you, Good Benevolent One:
Drill HERE.
Drill NOW.
Save money.
Git ‘er done!
I wonder if he could give me some tips on how to tie my shoelaces. This guy is a quintessential leftis, democrat. We’re all so damn dumb, we need him to help us.
This from the guy that looks like Erkel on a bike, and doesn’t drive himself or pay for gas himself hardly anymore, and who also just bought a Chrysler 300C this year (I wanna be like Ludacris and Snoop)
when McCain and Hilary drive hybrids…
He is just like Al Gore, telling you from his 10,000 sq. ft. of Air conditioned mansion that the REST of the country needs to turn theirs off.
Well Genius, I change my oil and tune-up my vehicle religiously, because I’ve known for years, less drag and resistance on the motor, and better air flow from unclogged filters = better mileage. Recommended air pressure is 35lb.s I run 40lbs. Guess what….I still only get 17-18mpg in my truck, vs. 15-16 for others. We need to drill, and drill now,
We need wind technology to reduce further need for fuel-oil in the Northeast, along with Solar power in the Southwest. We need all forms, today.
Not inflating our tires and getting a tune-up, and NO it won’t save just as much as $2-2.50/gallon of gas.
I can’t believe ANYONE is so blind and ignorant to even consider voting for this clown. Get out of Utopia people
If this is all it takes (inflating tires) to become independent of foreign oil, then I propose an immediate government program to ensure all tires are properly inflated. Let’s put everypne that is out of work on the street corners with an air gauge and compressor and become oil independent overnight!
Of course the taxpayers are going to have to pay for the poor and the elderly to inflate their tires. Hussein knows these people can’t do it themselves! He has officially become a caricature, as in ludicrous! We all know ludicrous don’t we? I’m in awe of his “new” song.
OMG!OMG!OMG!OH the Stupidity.
gas station air= .75
filling 20 gallon tank at $4/gallon= $80
tune-up from Dealer- $250+
TOTAL- AT LEAST $330.75
filling 20 gallon tank at $2.50/gallon= $50
Now, I don’t have a Harvard Law degree, but I can see that the numbers aren’t quite adding up.
Let’s review
Gas station air. $0.75
20 gallons of gas @ $4.00/gallon avg. $80.00
Tune-up at the Dealer (filters/oil/etc) $250.00
NOT VOTING FOR THIS SOCIALIST PUPPET… PRICELESS
How utterly ridiculous.
OBAMA; NO WAY, NO HOW.
Inflating tires will have same effect as drilling for oil. Is this Bill Clinton-speak?
Remember Bubba saying, “I won’t make you a promise, but I will make this pledge . . . .” LOL
So does Hussein Obama mean:
We all pump our tires to 1000 lbs and we are on rims, and none of us can drive at all.
Or, drilling for oil is same effect as inflating tires. Yeah, they are both physical actions.
The same amount of oil “they’re talking about” getting from driling, suggests the amount Dimocrats are talking about getting, not experts.
Since Dimocrats are saying drilling can’t help.
“We could save” meaning Hussein Obama and family
could save, if all of us inflated our tires.
He isn’t as expert at Clinton-speak as Bubba, so I’d have to conclude he is just stupid or a demagogue.
I’ll inflate my tires as soon as he deflates his ego.
What an asswipe!
Typical socialist or communist!
If this moronn gets in the White House it will be dark times for America…
Libtards: Always asking us to do things like this, as though 150 million drivers all saving up to %10 on fuel usage is going to do ANYTHING… First they want us to recycle, and now this?!? I’ve had enough of this junk. I’ll give up my Ford F-350 when they give up their ‘precious’ wetlands. LOL!
We should let the oil companies drill for oil NOW! They clearly have the interests of the average American in mind, and wouldn’t distort a political topic for financial profit. Have they lied to us before? Certainly not as much as the welfare queens and global warming cultists have.
I wonder how much money we’d save if all the libtards threw their lattes and baguettes out before driving? What do they want us to do, replace NASCAR races with SMARTCAR races? LOL, their foresight is too nuanced for me to wrap my brain around.
This dude, like our Queen Pelosi, assume that all us in the great unwashed, the lesser class, are morons. What an amazing, absurd and insulting bunch of pap straight from the mouth of the messiah. These people care think they are “saving the planet” and are not about to let us peons soil it. They have never had to pump or pay for gas in their lives, and never will. The Taxpaying masses will buy it for them forever. It boggles the mind that anyone would even consider voting for them.

Typical politicians in Denver Colorado. Democrat National Committee people want to fill up their cars at the City of Denver pump and get cheap gas while at the same time telling the rest of us we need to pay more for gas. How does this help the little guy who the Democrats claim to represent?
John Weaver, former McCain advisor, says that the current McCain strategy “diminishes John McCain.â€
Weaver specifically took issue with the McCain camp’s latest anti-Obama ad, calling it “childish,†saying he’s had “enough.â€
“There is legitimate mockery of a political campaign now, and it isn’t at Obama’s. For McCain’s sake, this tomfoolery needs to stop,†Weaver said. “For McCain to win in such troubled times, he needs to begin telling the American people how he intends to lead us.â€
Obama comes back swinging with a sharp cutting ad of his own!
http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1185304443/bctid1701198911
So why do the Democrat National Convention people think they should have the privilege of using City of Denver gas pumps to fill their cars at reduced cost while at the same time telling us we should not complain about high gas prices? Typical.
So we’ve got a choice in this election. We can either choose a new direction, or we can keep on doing the same things we’ve been doing. Now my opponent, John McCain, thinks that we’re basically on the right track. [Boos from audience.] He does. He’s said our economy has made great progress in the last eight years. [Laughter.] He’s embraced the Bush economic policies and promises to continue them. Same policies as George Bush — he wants to continue the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and he wants to put another $300 billion in tax cuts on the table for corporations. [Audience member yells: “why not small businesses?â€] Well, why not small busineses? Because he thinks it’s okay the way things are going right now. Let me tell you, we can’t afford to keep on doing more of the same and that’s why I’m running for President of the United States of America. [Standing ovation.]
Are all McCain supporters racist morons, or just the ones who post on Breitbart? Between his “clean campaign” attack ads and the morons who profess to support him, it’s pretty hard to see a reason to weigh the options. I really liked the guy the last time he ran (too bad he didn’t run against Bush when the country needed a competent military leader), but I don’t think “don’t vote for black people” is really a legitimate grass-roots campaign strategy.
Rest assured, if we don’t drill off our coast – China will!
And you want this?
” If the political tide ever change in the US I will stand with Islam” – Obama
The only inflation going on around here is the hot air being flatulated by you neo-con gas bags.
You are so infatuated with your hate oriented, truth -diverted opinions you can’t see that the call for more drilling is the last sheckle Boosh has to pay the oil companies for putting him in office.
Releasing fuel from the strategic reserves, conservation practices and encouraging electric vehicles will lower gas prices way more than any impact of increased drilling will have. Stop and think for yourself for a change.
You 28%ers are sooo behind the times. Your party is about to go the way of the dodo.
Now, it off to dance the Obama with my messiah.
I can’t wait to watch the media sob and the blacks riot when the clown obama loses in a landslide. It is going to be the most entertaining thing to watch this century.
Obama, what an expert, he knows all about inflating tires. Obama pumps his ego 4 times a day. Just wait till he has a major blow-out. Take all your lapdogs with you.
It’s not all about the pennies we will save per gallon. We need to drill domestically to secure our nation’s future and the safety of all Americans. We simply cannot rely on foreign countries — especially volatile and hostile nations — to become the sole producers of our country’s energy. Dependence on foreign oil will only continue to weaken our economy and our nation as a whole. Drill domestically today to save our children’s future!

This is another defining moment the republicans will let pass. Obama says ” let them eat cake”!
Is this man mentally ill or is he just stupid.
I use special tires that do not require air.
Even my riding lawn mower tires need to be inflated from time to time.
His ego is so inflated he does not recognize that his head is full of hot air.
If everyone would just inflate their egos… like barrack Hussein Obama, then their would be no need to vote for this piece of poop.
Someone said: “the folks in the US do NOT have to make do with less.”
Idiot. They said the same thing on EASTER ISLAND!
Wow. I can not believe that nobody but nobody can see the real value of the US drilling for oil. It has nothing to do with us being “independent”. Every news article that I read talks about unstable conditions that the oils sits in. Every time that There is a report that IRAN might be attacked oil goes up. Now I may be a little be prejudiced but I believe that any oil wells that we have would be much safer and therefor more stable. That alone would lower the cost of oil.
The second part of the equation is that the US would start to sell oil on the open market and reduce the trade deficit. Now why does he not talk about that?
Yes please conserve. I like to conserve. It is the Christian thing to do.
If the Republicans had any leader ship they would all show up in the Senate tomorrow carrying tire pumps.
Might work if you inflate your tires to the same size as his ego…of course you might float away….
Sen. Obama is absolutely correct in his assertion that proper maintenance and tire pressure, along with conservation, would save as much oil as is expected to be produced from ANWR drilling. He did not pull the facts from thin air, he pulled them from a Department of Energy study, which states that some 3.56 million gallons of gas are wasted each day only because of incorrectly-inflated tires.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12517107/
Add up the fuel savings available from proper maintenance, less aggressive braking and accelerating, and (god forbid) increased fuel efficiency in new vehicles mandated by the government, and then please reconsider.
Here are the government estimates of ANWR oil production:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/servicerpt/anwr/results.html
And even if approved today, ANWR will not produce oil for several years.
“How about scenario FOUR: which is a combination of scenario 2 and 3. The less oil we use, due to higher efficiency standards, the more the price of oil goes down.
But your too dumb to realize that. Kudos to you. You must be a Mccain supporter with no economic sense.”
—-
Sorry, Victor, but this isn’t a zero-sum situation. The less gas we use won’t make a lick of difference, because the other developing countries of the world would buy it up just as quick, keeping it at $4 a gallon.
We need to drill as much oil as we can here, while we work vigorously for alternative, clean measures. No one is getting anywhere in this argument because everyone is so narrow minded as to think that it’s either one party’s solution, or the other. People can’t fathom that a combination of the two is possible, and probably the most reasonable/effective.
So, it seems that you’re the dumb one, Victor. Some liberals like you like to think you have common sense when it comes to economics, but can’t understand it when it doesn’t include the government in the equation.
Sorry. Hope you can carry on.

1) ANWR is a small portion of the oil. We need offshore drilling as well, which includes a LOT more oil into the equation.
2) It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t produce oil for a few years. Few people realize that the price per barrel for oil is determined by trading on the futures of oil. And this trading takes into account the status of oil 8 years into the future. This is why when Bush lifted the offshore drilling ban, oil prices started to drop. So even if it took several years to get to us, prices would start dropping at the pumps in a couple weeks. Plus, we’d be a whole lot better off in 7 years!
It works, people! I put 75 PSI in my tires and I had to dump five gallons out of the tank after a fifty-mile trip.
(No, no, no, mechanically-challenged liberals… don’t try it… it’s a joke…)
Scott, we aren’t interested in any “facts’ from the Department or anywhere else.
John McCain has the Moron vote locked up and nothing you say will change that. The real problem is making sure the morons actually *get* to the polls and not get lost along the way. In the last Congressional election, the Republicans would have won. They had 99% support from the moron population but the majority of them mistook broom closets and outhouses for polling booths so their votes never got counted by anyone except, in one case, Larry Craig.
So, we can’t eat what or how much we want, and we can’t keep our homes heated or cooled to 72 degrees (whichever season it is) because other less fortunate countries won’t like it, and if we inflate our tires we would use a lot less gas? Me thinks Obama has a brain problem. Boy am I glad I didn’t go to Harvard, it doesn’t say much for that institution.. Oh I forgot, the Messiah is always right!
I don’t think anybody ever got ahead by cutting back…
[...] I kid you not people. I absolutely kid you not. Barack Obama was in a town-hall style event with supporters and addressed energy issues in Springfield, MO. Oh my goodness, I cannot believe how pathetically stupid and absolutely ignorant this man is. Here’s what he said about drilling as a way to lower fuel prices [video at link]. [...]
[...] What’s a solution to saving on energy and oil? Inflate your tires. [...]
… talk about a blow job .
… damn , hillary looks good now .
… does he really believe this crap ?
… do you ?
Obama is so saintly he could probably crap in my gas tank and the exhaust would smell like fresh baked apple pie.
SO IF WE INFLATE OUR FURNACE WE CSN SAVE HEAT. HARVARD SHOULD BE ASHAMED THEY GAVE HIM A DIPLOMA.
This is just unreal….What an idiot this guy is…To think people actually believe his nonsense is scary…I am however going to fill up my tires after work just in case Obama is right LOL
The real problem and solution:
HUMANS ARE HAVING TOO MANY BABIES.
STOP IT.
THIN THE HERD.
THEN THERE WILL (MAYBE) BE RESOURCES ENOUGH TO GO AROUND… IF PEOPLE WILL STOP LIVING SUCH WASTREL LIVES.
No one has mentioned that changing driving habits save a lot more gas than inflation and tune-ups. Google “hypermiling” for techniques.

In other news, Obama said that if every American only ate 50 calories a day BUT chewed 50 times before swallowing, that would be like eating a normal 2500 calorie meal. And that in itself would solve the problem of hunger in America, a much better idea than producing more food. Which would take such a long time to cultivate that it wouldn`t matter anyway.
My question is; if we can just inflate Obama`s ego a little more, will that make him a bigger idiot, and is that even possible?
CHANGE your oil!
HOPE for lower gas prices!
YES WE CAN!!!!
Puke…
Mercy BO-coo.

Phil,
You are a trickle-down idiot.
Whiney little Americans. Maybe Phil Graham was right. To all who left simplistic, stupid ignornant comments, the days of cheap oil are gone for ever. Better start adjusting your lifestyles to cut consumption. And thank you for voting for George W. Bush, the worst President in history.
Every time he opens his mouth he sounds more and more stupid. Reminds me of Mondale, if you’re too young to remember Mondale ask your parents. He was a nut too!
OH MY GOD.
Know I understand
Completely
why
Obama will not
do unscripted
unchoregraphed
debates
Man
needs
a team
to
help
him
think!
OH MY CRAP! WHAT A SINGLE-DIGIT IQ FREAKING STUPID AIRHEAD..GET OUTA THE RACE, YA DUMB MORON.
Yeh, right…THIN THE HERD…now that you’re here, you wanna cut the population growth…ya selfish little brat! Your parents should’ve decided to “thin the herd” just before they conceived you. Then we wouldn’t all have been exposed to your liberal self-absorbed CRAP!
REPEAT:
The real problem and solution:
HUMANS ARE HAVING TOO MANY BABIES.
STOP IT.
THIN THE HERD.
THEN THERE WILL (MAYBE) BE RESOURCES ENOUGH TO GO AROUND… IF PEOPLE WILL STOP LIVING SUCH WASTREL LIVES.
Even CHINA has had to admit that OVERPOPULATION is the BIG PROBLEM and had to enforce their *ONE-CHILD* RULE. (Coming soon to a maternity ward near you!!!)
WHY? Because people do not have the restraint and intelligence to RESTRAIN THEIR OWN SELFISH IMPULSES. So “GOVERNMENT” has to step in…
THIN THE HERD, while it is still a possibility to save the planet and human race! DO IT, before GOVERNMENT has to do it for you!

Its funny to come back to this thread a year later and see the comments by the obama supporters. It’s obvious that the lefties have sold out capitalism completely. Drilling for millions of barrels of oil a day is obviously going to produce more gasoline (each barrel produces 20gal of gas) than inflating your tires.
Victor from July 30th, dude really you need to look at your history… go back and look at what Jimmy carter forced people to do… you cannot conserve your way to prosperity.
“former republican” from the same date. At the end of his term before the tarp BS the budget deficit was 130b.
and the only other person i’ll bother referencing, “thin the herd”. Dude you seriously need to take your own advice and kill yourself so your stupidity doesnt spread. Government is the problem not the solution. If there was no welfare or food stamps women wouldnt go out and have 6 kids by 5 different men. Its the fact that they know the government will step in and save them that keeps them from thinking. Please go take an econ 101 course.
