Revealing McCain miss- Statement
From the man who runs on "The Straight Talk Express"- about Obama's Energy Policy:

"The only thing I've heard him say is that we should inflate our tires, so he has no plan for addressing the energy challenges that we face."McCain 7/31/08

First of all, Obama's comment about "inflating our tires" was in response to an individual persons question to him, asking what she herself, could personally do to help conserve energy.

The answer he gave was perfectly appropriate.

Secondly, this arrogant statement made by McCain reveals not only his willingness to twist facts to slur anyone he disagrees with, it speaks to how well he is able to process facts.

Obama said more than "inflate your tires"- but either mr. McCain has a hearing problem and missed the rest of Obama's answer, or he is demonstrating what a poor listener he is. The other notable misconception that mr. McCain is pushing here, is that "inflate your tires" is "Obama's Energy Policy".

He's not very honest or accurate in evaluating and comprehending a pretty simple, straightforward statement made by a fellow American citizen. His time as a POW doesn't make up for his willingness to engage in manipulating facts, dishonest statements, or poor communication skills.

Being a Prisoner of War doesn't really qualify someone to be an effective President. But being good communicator, someone willing to listen well, digest information and make an informed, credible decision surely is. Obama is a veteran at that.

10. hey thanks-
I'm gonna say that to a relative who accused Obama of being "an empty suit"- yet couldn't back it up.
I've got plenty to back up the emptyness that is McCain if he turns it back on me-

5. he reminds me of someone
from the dark past.

A master manipulator, who is able to seem self-effacing and relatively harmless.


He IS dangerous- I agree.

:hi:
peace~

*We* could give them out, along with literature and back-up data.

And Obama bumper stickers.

7. in true McCain style, they were only "free" to the press-
anyone else has to donate $25 to get one.

I'd like to see some group which is seperate from Obama, but known for being on top of Environmental awareness take this up- and put McCain's mockery to shame.

He needs to be called up short - he's way out of line.

:hi:

8. not a very good example of what he'd 'mis-hear' or manipulate
if he were ever to become 'potus'- :shrug:

He isn't fit to lead- and time is not on his side.
