Obama energy policy: ‘Inflate your tires’

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | August 1, 2008 

WASHINGTON – If you think there isn’t urgency to getting Congress to drop its bans on offshore drilling and development of the ANWR oil reserves, listen to what Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama had to say in Missouri yesterday.

“There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy,” Obama said. “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’d actually save just as much!”

That’s his energy plan? Inflate your tires? Get more tune-ups?

WND Editor Joseph Farah, organizer of a campaign to step up the pressure on Congress to drop its moratorium on offshore drilling and reverse its decisions to ban exploration for oil in Alaska’s ANWR reserves before adjournment at the end of September, says Obama’s apparent naiveté illustrates why the country has no time to waste.

I wonder if he even knows how to do that? He has told us to learn another language but only knows english, he gets a sweet heart mortgage deal while the rest of us suffer and now we need to inflate our tires.
