McCain makes the Election Fun; finally:
The RNC’s special birthday present for Barack Obama
On this day, August 4, in 1961, The One was born to mankind.
The RNC celebrates with a very special birthday gift for Barack Obama. Snort:
In celebration of Barack Obama’s special day, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is sending Washington, D.C., newsrooms and bureaus a special gift in his honor.
Like so many Americans, members of the media also are struggling to pay upwards of $4 a gallon for gas. But last week, Barack Obama said, “There are things that you can do individually though to save energy; making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much.” (Barack Obama, Springfield, MO, 7/30/08)
So the RNC is providing members of the media with complimentary tools related to Barack Obama’s energy plan – a brand new tire gauge. Because, instead of actually increasing America’s domestic oil supply, this is how Obama thinks Americans should try to alleviate burdensome pain at the pump.
To obtain your very own copy of “Barack Obama’s Energy Plan” please call 202-863-8500.
Via Ed Morrissey, it looks like the McCain will also be distributing tire gauges at Obama’s latest energy event today in Lansing, MI.
Mockery is always the best medicine.
Who will be first on the left to find some way to spin this light-hearted fun as, you know, RACIST?! (more)
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 11:40 AM Nancy Pelosi says drop dead to American drivers, American fliers, and American manufacturing.
Obama should call on his party’s leaders to allow a vote on offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf. But he won’t. All hat. No cattle. And no spine.
Any vote for any Democrat is a vote for rising gas prices and massive transfers of wealth to OPEC.
Also, “Obama’s Energy Plan,” from Powerline:
Featuring the illustration above, Time reports that McCain supporters in Michigan will distribute tire gauges at Obama’s energy speech in Lansing, and that the RNC will also deliver gauges reading “Obama’s energy plan” to Washington newsrooms. Mary Katharine Ham may want to update her tribute to “Obama on your shoulder” to include his helpful hint on the importance of tire gauges and tune-ups.

More Stupid Obama Tricks
More From Michelle Malkin:
Oops: Democrat on VP shortlist underscores Obama’s inexperience
This is definitely snort-worthy. The foot of Democrat VP shortlister Bill Ritter, governor of Colorado, meets his mouth:
“Michelle – check out Colorado Governor Bill Ritter’s oops this morning on the Mike Rosen show, hour two (www.850koa.com). When asked about rumors that he was on the list as a vice presidential candidate he remarked (not quoting) that his 18 months of gubernatorial experience were insufficient to be considered for vice president. When asked to compare this to [Obama's] 143 days of experience [in the Senate], he quickly changed the subject.”
I’ve transcribed the relevant parts of the exchanges, in which Ritter first downplays the rumors that Obama is considering him…
Rosen: “Why don’t you think you’d be a good choice?”
Ritter: “Well, just because, I think there are a lot of things that he has to take into consideration. I’ve been governor for 18 months. My experience before that was as a district attorney. I loved being a district attorney…but I don’t think that’s what Barack Obama’s looking for in a vice president. I’ve been governor for 18 months. It’s been a great experience. But it’s just 18 months…Obama has to think about experience…levels of experience…”
[Ritter then discusses other VP possibilities...Tim Kaine, Evan Bayh...praises their experience, foreign policy creds...Joe Biden/chair of Senate Foreign Relations committee..."Any of those three would make sense to me"...Kathleen Sibelius is a great woman...]
…and then during Q&A, Ritter fields an excellent question:
Caller Richard from Windsor: “Governor, you said 18 months’ experience wasn’t enough experience as governor to be the vice president. Would you want to contrast that with the 143 days’ experience Obama as senator before he decided he had enough experience to be president.”
Ritter: All I can tell ya is I am a fan of Barack Obama’s. Met him in 2004 during his campaign for Senate…You meet him and discover there’s something very different about him. That’s all I’ll say.
Har.
