Obama responds: ‘It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant”
Barack Obama, responding to a week of taunts from John McCain’s campaign, said Tuesday that his Republican detractors “take pride in being ignorant” and that it’s time to get serious.
The Illinois senator was responding in part to criticism from Republicans who mocked him for suggesting last week that Americans could save on energy costs and gas by properly inflating their tires. McCain surrogates passed out tire gauges that say “Obama’s Energy Plan,” and McCain said last week the “only thing” Obama has proposed with regard to energy is to inflate tires.
“This is the kind of thing they do. I don’t understand it,” Obama said at a town hall meeting in Berea, Ohio, Tuesday. “Two points: One, they know they are lying about what my energy plan is, but the other thing is they are making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent.
“It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant,” he said.
Also in Berea, Obama (defended his remark about inflating tires, a first response to the favorite Republican attack of the moment, which he’d ignored for a few days as the GOP mailed gas gauges to reporters.

Wild Thing’s comment……….
Ignorant? The Obamaloon couldn’t find America on a map. a-hem …..57 States???
Keep running your mouth, Hussein, your good at one thing, insulting everyone in the country.
At least he didn’t say it was RACIST!!!!!!! That’s an improvement, isn’t it? hahaha
Okay, Obamanation, put your cards on the table! You still HAVE not shown me the “changes” you want me to believe in! Are you chicken? Come on, show me! That’s what I thought–you ain’t got nothing! No game, nothing.
And you want my vote? Forget it, pal. I wouldn’t vote for you for dog catcher!!!
Well you can be sure obama has run out of substance, he has now resorted to name calling.
Everybody says how smart and really bright he is, I don’t see it. He is well scripted and knows his lines real well. But so does any second rate actor, so where is all the substance, the soul of the man I don’t think he has one. An vaccuous entity, an empty suit.
He is like a brand new computer, in need of programming.

You can educate someone who is ignorant. However, there is nothing that can be done for someone like Obama who is stuck on stupid.
Lynn, Hahahahahahahahaha good one!!
Mark, good description,
Yes, I don’t see it either ( that is is so smart). With all the chances he has had to think about his stand on things, how he would make his “changes” and all the other things he stumblels and stammers way too much to come across as a person that is very bright.
Les, good one and your right.
