Obama: GOP Takes Pride In Being Ignorant

At a town hall meeting in Berea , Ohio, today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, pushed back against the GOP attack on his advice to a voter last week that having a tuned up car and fully inflated tires would help save energy.

"Let me make a point about efficiency, because my Republican opponents - they don't like to talk about efficiency," Obama said. ...

"Now two points, one, they know they're lying about what my energy plan is, but the other thing is they're 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.

That was kind of an understatement.

[geha714]

Finally. Somebody says what's obvious.

[gladys46]

And factual!!

[genseric13]

This from the man who went to the most ignorant church in America and forced his daughters to go there.

[Bluejay00234]

Do you really want to compare whos more ignorant? Boy you "c**tS" really are something else.

[gladys46]

I don't think "intelligence" was a four letter word there either ... only in the WH under the Bu$h, Inc administration!! Don't hire smart people ... hire bimbos & himbos!!

[robXdion]

Judging from the ignorance you spout in your posts, I'd hate to see your church. That's if you even go.

[genseric13]

I don't go to church. I don't get on my knees before imaginary beings or like you guys do for your political god.

[jeffp26]

It's about time we had a candidate intelligent enough to call it the way it really is.

Unlike my buddy genseric above, who is either lying on purpose, or just plain dumb.

[indypete]

"...lying on purpose, or just plain dumb..."

Both?

[genseric13]

So, are you saying it's not an ignorant church? You didn't hear all of their wild conspiracy theories? Jews controlling everything, etc? White man is the devil?

[rinpochet]

You must be one of those who believe that driving a Hummer is a great way to go and that tuning your car or keeping your tires properly inflated doesn't make a difference in your gas mileage.

Obama was right. You take pride in being ignorant.

[PioneerKing]

at last he emotes

[Keith52]

[harriscrl3]

Speak the TRUTH O!!!

Thats all you need. THey are the most ignorant bunch of fools and they are loud and proud too. They epitomize the term that EMPTY vessels make the most noise. Fix news is their breeding ground but some of them are also on MSNBC. Verdict has one lawd what an ignorant numbskull he is.

[Bluejay00234]

[gladys46]

And he whacks 'em with facts!! Hahaha!! Steady O!!

[robXdion]

He must be drinking Red Bulls or something. Since Monday started you'd think somebody slapped the starch out of him. He sounding like he wants this and cracking eggshells doesn't matter anymore.

[BabsfromKansas]

His gloves are slowly coming off. He know hows to pace himself.

[gladys46]

Yeppers .... steady O!!

[Independent007]

He should have been slugging with McCain all week last week, but instead allowed CBS to run highlights of racist McCain's feignings for 3 days straight.
No response from Obama until this week.
I am very disappointed. Obama and the Democrats intend to lose this election just like Kerry and Gore.
IF that happens I am moving to Canada.

[Daniboy]

I'm a repub and I've been checking my tire pressure since a young driver. But if Barack says I'm ignorant it must be so!!

[excellentone]

Obama is on offense like the 2007 Patriots!
