stop spewing stupid democratic talking points! Do you think that we are all riding around on flat tires? You should get your head out of Obama's ass and get a clue.

Skids 7682, I am not trying to be rude, but you don't understand the situation or the point that others are trying to make here. Most people do not drive around with underinflated tires. Obama is comparing the bump we would get from offshore oil drilling to people taking care of their cars. He said EVERYONE. That is the point you are not hearing. If only 1/4 of the people have underinflated tires the savings drops from 3% to less than 1%. You can't compare apples to oranges. Get it now?

compared to you... feh?

[skids7682]

Yeah like all ten of you. feh.

[SkylineTime]

looks like everyone who is reading your comments thinks you are full of crap too.

[skids7682]

I cite sources when my points are contested (see other comments.) I don't just say crap without backing it up.

[mesayhey]

Oh and you call me some random youtuber. What the hell do you think you are?

[mesayhey]

I am not saying that adjusting your tire pressure would not help your individual gas usage. I am saying that Obama's figures are wrong. 1st off no way will he get every American to take care of their cars and 2nd not every car is running around on flat tires. I am so tired of trying to explain this to you.  You obviously will just believe anything you hear as long as it fits in with the democratic talking points. Obama is wrong and so are you.

[skids7682]

Yeah like I'm gonna take the say-so of some random youtuber over that of just about every expert on the matter. What. Ever.

[mesayhey]

wow, you are really snowed. Drill here Drill NOW!! Obama is wrong on energy and he is wrong on the economy and he is wrong on defense and he is definitely wrong about how he wants to change us to socialism... Keep drinking the koolaid. I hope and pray that Obama does not get elected he would be worse than Jimmy Carter.

[skids7682]

Obama is not assuming that. His stats are solid.

It was the Republicans who were holding up the energy bill without the oil subsidies. They wanted to take renewable subsidies out, too. They filibustered it.

We needed an energy bill more badly than we needed to cut the subsidies. Obama did what was necessary to get one passed. You don't always get to vote on perfect bills in an evenly split senate.

[skids7682]

It is you who do not get it. The estimated 2.8 billion gallons/year lost to underinflated tires is just for the 1/4 of drivers. If everyone was driving on underinflated tires, the savings would be 11 billion gallons of gas a year, 4x what offshore drilling would do

Obama is right, as we saw in the impact of demand reduction (driving less) on oil prices (some of it though due to Enron loophole imminent closing.) Demand reduction is the most effective short term weapon against gas prices.
