Did Obama really say we should inflate our tires to help us cope with gas prices

Question

Can someone tell me the context in which he said this?

Answer 1

ABC News said it was in response to a woman's question about what she could do herself, asked in Springfield, MO. I can't find a link that shows the whole thing, but here are some interesting ones.

Answer 2

i really dont know did you hear him say that???????????????????????????????????? well if you did then why are you asking that questuion/? ask your mom or somthing...

Answer 3

Yes he did, and its laughable. Obama would have us believe that inflating tires and getting tune-ups will save as much oil as drilling for oil would produce.

Answer 4

He said this in the context of getting better gas mileage. We all know half flat tires get real great gas mileage. This is the same recommendation that Nascar endorses, that mccain has said to do and even bush's energy council said would help save gas.

Answer 5

Yes he did.  To see the actual context of what he said look at the Yahoo news headlines:

McCain camp uses tire gauges to mock Obama energy plan

Answer 6

Yes he did!

IF he wins u could consider END of United States of America :(

Answer 7

Here's a completely non-partisan, non political article explaining why proper tire care is important, and what roll it plays in fuel efficiency.

It's too bad that even the most commonsense suggestions get mocked and dismissed if someone thinks that they can get political mileage out of it.  No wonder things never get done.  People are so invested in game playing, real information gets drowned out.
