Barack Obama: Republicans Take Pride in Being Ignorant

WOO-HOO! Now that is the kind of statement I like to hear from my presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee! Sure, it's obvious, but how often does someone as prominent as Barack Obama say it out loud?

One thing I'm sick of when it comes to politics of late, is how people--conservatives in particular--glom onto a two or three word phrase, or an object, and then beat it to death. I'm speaking of flip flops, purple fingers, purple heart band aids, and the like. Right now it is tire pressure gauges, because Obama said that correct tire pressure saves gas--which it does.

Of course there is more to Obama's energy plan than that, but by waving their gauges, and repeating "tire pressure, tire pressure!" they're going to try to make you think otherwise. Don't fall for it.

Obama Slaps Back on Tire Gauges

Speaking in Berera, Ohio, the Senator offers a strong defense of his comments about tire inflation being an effective conservation tool. Watch video above.

“They think it is funny that they are making fun of something that is actually true… It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant.”
