Obama: Fix America’s Energy Problem by Inflating Your Tires?

I would expect that fix from an out of touch elitest with ‘0′ knowledge of how things really work. Ever time he opens his mouth without a script he shows how little he knows, about anything. There is no cure for stupidity or BDS.

Since my wife works for Goodyear, I’m gonna add that buying NEW TIRES more often helps too.

Properly inflated tires can increase your efficiency by 10%. It’s a good idea to do but a bad idea to campaign on. Too many morons like Mike in the world.

Offshore drilling could eventually increase US production by 7%, or less than 2% worldwide (oil prices are subject to fungiblity). When the basic problem is supply and demand, 2% ain’t cutting it. As I said before, I do believe we need to drill wherever we can, but wake up to the fact that it is not the answer.

Fit Fit: NO ONE ever said that drilling was the ONLY answer! That’s another of the BIG LIES you folks like to tell.

I think those shutting down congress until a vote comes on offshore drilling implies that it it a higher priority than anything else. If “all of the above” included regulations on speculation, we would likely be on our way to getting offshore drilling bans removed, at least in the senate. Pelosi wouldn’t be able to stand on her own.

Well, I have heard tales that we all have a twin in the world – this seals it for me. Obama is Carter’s twin.

Nay, Nay, Fit Fit. Error, Will Robinson… Plenty of speculator/speculation bills.

In fact, they’ve picked one already, and the House overwhelmingly passed HR6377 Jun 26, 08 – Energy Markets Emergency Act of 2008 which is all about speculators. It will then be up to the Senate.

To direct the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to utilize all its authority, including its emergency powers, to curb immediately the role of excessive speculation in any contract market within the jurisdiction and control of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, on or through which energy futures or swaps are traded, and to eliminate excessive speculation, price distortion, sudden or unreasonable fluctuations or unwarranted changes in prices, or other unlawful activity that is causing major market disturbances that prevent the market from accurately reflecting the forces of supply and demand for energy commodities.

Now… tell me again why the “all of above” proposal – which they won’t even schedule for debate – would “likely” be on our way if the legislation” just had speculation regs??? Not needed… already got one halfway there.

Alas… the DNC is playing politics, and acting as Al Gorbots, heeding the UN’s call for “global solidarity and cooperation” on climate warming, and recognizing that they, as a national parliament “have a stake” in AGW.

Translation? They’ll talk energy. But they won’t talk about anything that offends their environmentally sensitive AGW noses. And oil and coal fit that category.

Then again, with Ted Kennedy and Mitt Romney teaming up in the past to kill a wind farm, enviros worried about impact studies on weeds and turtles from solar farms, Audabon types worried about wind mills and birds, I doubt we’ll get the alternative energies thru without a hitch. So I’d plan on being on petroleum for quite some time.

If McCain can’t drive a truck through this opening, he doesn’t deserve to win.

He’ll probably forget if he’s for it or against it. Then his aides will again have to point out that he doesn’t speak for the campaign.

Bravo Obama. What a plan. Inflate your tires. That will surely get more oil on the market and drop prices. Sounds like the “drive less and wait for wind power” comment. What a bufoon. And you actually like this guy????

Reality has left the building, we are now in fit fit land which is right next to la la land. Democraps, can’t live with um and can’t out cheat them at the polls.

If he’s elected, be ready to go back to a 55 mph max (or 65 which is is closer to the optimum), ala Mr. Peanut, because that DOES save gas.

As to inflating tires? Edmunds tested it and said . . .

“… they deliver better gas mileage. How much? In this test we saw a modest difference in two of the cars. It might have been more dramatic with different tires on different cars. Experts swear by it; we couldn’t really document it.”

Not exactly a rousing endorsement, and since they couldn’t give numbers, it won’t get us the savings Obie claims. Maybe when he tested it, his obameter was malfunctioining?

For you investers out there, if Obie is elected, and we have to slow to 55 and one day trips then take 2, Motel stocks might start looking pretty good.

And that won’t be all Obama does, since his rhetoric and advisors and policies all indicate he’ll be prince Jimmah the second, or, most likely, much worse. And why not, he’s as clueless as Carter. Here’s what he wants to do with the economy.

Oh, yes, and for all the worry over not wanting to appear like a Muslim, I wouldn’t have thought he would want to say “blow up” with regard to anything.

LOL. I think you have them pegged! What will it be, a Class TUUT (pronounced “toot”) felony? (“TU” for “tune up” and “UT” for “underinflated tire”)
