Obama inflates tires (video)

CNN broadcasts Obama's speech, in which he hits back at McCain for mocking his (true) statement that the U.S. could save millions of barrels of oil if drivers ensured their vehicles had properly inflated tires:

We especially enjoyed Obama's statement "these guys take pride in being ignorant." But we digress: When it comes to tire pressure, McCain seems to be arguing with himself, since he's agreed that keeping tires properly inflated would yield significant reductions in gas consumption.
