Obama is wrong on tire inflation,
he will be wrong on Supreme Court Justice nomination.
The tire issue is fun yet seriously reveals a cavalier attitude:
Obama wants to lead 300 million Americans, the military, and all that encompasses the United States of America. His first Tire comment was bad enough now he is adding to his folly with spouting off statistics by “scientists” that are not true. He just stands up there and preaches whatever comes to mind and his minions eat it up. His arrogance suggests that most Americans are too stupid to have already known that tire inflation is important; his arrogance says that all of the oil change and tire stores do not check tire inflation. He assumes that we are all running around on flat tires; Obama we are inflating our tires!
(More on tire inflation below, See Hugh Hewitt)
Personally, Tire inflation is a minor issue, It’s his judgment and lack of wisdom that concerns me!
What will he do when it comes time to replace as many as three or four members of the Supreme court
From Wikipedia:
The Supreme Court of the United States (sometimes colloquially referred to by the acronym SCOTUS)[1] is the highest judicial body in the United States, and leads the federal judiciary. It consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight Associate Justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed with the “advice and consent” of the Senate. Justices serve “during good Behaviour,”[2] which terminates at death, resignation, retirement, or conviction on impeachment.[3] The Court meets in Washington, D.C. in the United States Supreme Court building. The Supreme Court is primarily an appellate court, but has original jurisdiction in a small number of cases.[4]
Current U.S. Supreme Court Justices
This supreme court is getting old. The next president’s Supreme Court nominees will sway the court for 10- 20-30 years. They will determine the heart and soul of America, they will move our country away from the constitution and morality or continue to follow the constitution. The next president will make a big difference on your children’ and grand children’s future. The Supreme Court wields lots of power. The next president needs to know what he is doing, not just with tire inflation but with matters of grave concern. Holding on to our constitution and America’s traditions is important. Obama wants to change all of that and he has 143 days of experience in the Senate. This man should not be given the opportunity to place people on the Supreme Court.

Facts on Tire Inflation
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 8:49 AM Powerline’s John Hinderaker is a litigator, and so he pays close attention to assertions and the evidence –or lack thereof– behind them.
He’s also careful to keep focused on the original assertions made by Obama concerning tire inflation and its impact.
His first post on Obama’s first “inflated tires” assertion is here. It notes that Obama’s first assertion was that if we all had properly inflated tires we could save “all the oil that they are talking about getting off drilling.”
John followed up with this post on the continuing attempt by Obama and his MSM allies to recover from this pratfall. John notes that the maximum savings of oil from tires and tune-ups (and this generously assumes all cars have underinflated tires and need tune-ups) is 420 million barrels of oil a year. (Not only does this number overestimate the need for the remedial actions it also assumes perfect compliance in a country of people for whom non-compliance is a creed.)
The beauty of the second post is that John dug into Time Magazine’s defense of Obama and dissected the assertion by reporter Michael Grunwald that the outer continental shelf could only produce 200,000 barrels a day despite reserves there of at least 18 billion barrels. John discovers that the 200,000 estimate was based on oil priced by the market at $60 a barrel, not $120 or higher.
The price of a commodity greatly impacts the lengths to which industry will go to retrieve it, which is why we are having this debate. Even as the oil bubble –hopefully– begins to break, we know that we are living in an age of increasing demand and declining supply. We have to get the infrastructure in place to utilize our own resources, and we have to start now. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Democrats want to do nothing but pump up your tires.
They were wrong about the surge and the war. They are wrong about energy. Dismay with the GOP is high, but the willingness of the Democrats to continually display their collective disdain for facts, common sense, and the economic and national security well being of the country gives John McCain and the Republicans some hope provided they keep hitting on these big issues: There’s a war going on that we have to win, and there is energy available that we have to go and get.
Obama is wrong on tire inflation,
he will be wrong on Supreme Court Justice nominations.

Al Gore needs to inflate his Boats tires!
Have we figured out yet that these Guys only want us to sacrifice!
Al Gore get a raft and inflate your tube!
Name Al Gore’s hugetastic boat!
Barack Obama wants us all to turn down our thermostats, get rid of our SUVs, and monitor each other’s tire pressure to conserve energy and rescue the planet. How about going after the lavish consumption of his fellow purported eco-warriors?
Let’s start with Green Messiah Al Gore’s massive boat outside Nashville. It’s docked at Hurricane Marina on Center Hill Lake in Smithville, about an hour east of Nashville.
Steve Gill has the goods on Gore’s “Bio-Solar One”–which is supposed to be environmentally acceptable because it’s biodiesel-fueled and solar-powered.
Only, it didn’t have the solar panels until local whistle blowers called attention to it (his spokespeople now say the panels will be installed today) and has instead been plugged in, “sucking a lot of energy from the ‘evil’ energy companies,” as Gill points out (More)
Re tire gauges saving fuel, you quote: “…It also assumes perfect compliance in a country of people for whom non-compliance is a creed.”
You and your friends are insane.
