McCain's Energy Gaffe
Republicans took to ridiculing Senator Obama over a remark he made about making sure our tires are inflated by passing out tire gauges. Really. Are Republicans that stupid? It's a fact that properly inflating your tires will save you about $800 per year -- and America about 50,000 barrels of oil per day.
It's a sad day when someone proposes a way to take personal responsibility -- with no help from the government -- to do something good for the country, and the so-called 'Party of personal responsibility' rejects it. Obama is right when he says "It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant." They really do.
It's so bad over on the McCain side that Paris Hilton is even making fun of the "wrinkly old white guy". It's pretty sad when someone John McCain dismissed as a mere celebrity comes off sounding more knowledgeable and reasonable on a issue than he does. But it does make for good entertainment!

You are so very right. The hypocrisy of the Party professing to advocate personal responsibility attacking suggestions for personal responsibility is beyond the pale.
But, then, one only needs to review the vast growth in government size and spending under Republicans short tenure in control of the White House and Congress, to recognize that personal responsibility is NOT what the GOP and Republican elected officials are about, as a majority.
Very good eye, AP, and succinct examination of one of the deep flaws with Republican leadership.
I see McCain is now publicly saying he is for the public checking the air in their tires and keeping their cars tuned up, after he was against it because Obama suggested it first.
What a turkey McCain has proven to be.
