Inflate your tires: Bush (41) Energy Dept.: The Swamp (http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/politics/blog/2008/08/inflate_your_tires_bush_41_ene.html - broken link)
"It looks like the Republican National Committee might owe Democrat Barack Obama a tire rotation, wheel balancing and brake job while they're at it".
What a hilarious start to the day. Yup the RNC and McCain are the ones that many want to lead us out of our energy mess and they can't even remember or read their own previous efforts. How hilarious!
"Americans could save 50,000 barrels of oil a day with a little more air in their tires, said the public service announcements of that Bush administration, calling on Americans then to save fuel with a "Do Your Part, Drive Smart'' advertising campaign"
The above is right from their own public service announcement in 1990.
Maybe the RNC needs to recruit more from Harvard Law School?
It is the Government's intention to use the campaign to give people simple steps they can take immediately and have a direct impact on fuel savings, said Energy Secretary James D. Watkins, who announced the new campaign at a news conference at the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters in Boston.
The Secretary said that if motorists followed the fuel-saving tips in the campaign, it would be possible to save 530,000 barrels of oil a day.
The above is a quote from the NYT article.
Wow oh wow this is better then Sturgisgate.
Drill here drill there and most importantly drill under the state in Strugis as the good senator called for while there.
Yes, they spent millions to put this message out in television advertising.
Just depends on who's saying it, I guess.
Realistically, though, Fox'n'em have been snickering about Obama saying it, and that's where these posters who loyally snicker along get their directions on what to think.

I guess they didn't go to Harvard Law School.
Maybe the local community college para legal program?
I know there I go again being another elitist snob. What can I say other then
Tee Hee
Obama takes another idea from the Bush playbook. . . McCain is the only hope for real change.
What ever happened to the idea of the intellectual lib? One that could comprehend correct tire pressure will decrease gas usage but stating that this savings will be greater than that provided by off-shore drilling is preposterous?
This is hilarious, I just saw McCain say live that inflating your pressure is a public service announcement and not a policy. I guess word has gotten to him that the RNC did their usual high school level work and goofed. Obama never said it was a policy and you can seem them spinning in their Bushwacked shoes.
