AP: Fact Check: Properly inflated tires cut gas use

The McCain camp was quick to point out that Obama finally came up with a solution to the oil shortage!!

Obama’s plan…

“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 tuneups," Obama said. "You could actually save just as much."

In response to this just earth shattering news the McCain camp decided to one up Obama and in stead of talking about properly inflated tires they handed out tire gauges so that people could actually verify that their tires are at the proper pressure.

The “story” points out that Obama has other solutions…they are…spend taxpayers money on incentives, spend taxpayers money to do research into technology, and spend taxpayers money to force remodeling of old buildings.

Obama’s plan – More government sending will get us out of this
McCain’s plan – Allow business to do what they are best at

The Media thinks that McCain doesn’t believe that proper air pressure is good….when in reality the Media just doesn’t see how funny it is to have a presidential candidate say that properly inflating your tires will save as much oil as drilling…think about it this way what if President Bush would have had a press conference in the rose garden and said that he opposed the drilling of domestic oil because we could save that much oil by properly inflating our tires and getting a tune-up…They would have said they have proof that Bush was drinking again!!!
