Barack: GOP takes "pride in being ignorant"

...And let me make a point, let me make a point about efficiency. Because my Republican opponents they don't like to talk about efficiency.

You know, the other day I was in a town hall meeting and I laid out my plan for investing $15b a year in energy efficient cars, and a new electricity grid and all this ...

Somebody said, well what can I do, what can individuals do? So I told them something simple, I said you know what, you could inflate your tires to the proper levels, and that if everybody in American inflated their tires to the proper levels, we would actually probably save more oil than all the oil we get from John McCain from drilling right below his feet there, wherever it is that he was gonna drill.

So now the Republicans are going around - this is the kind of things they do, I don't understand it- they are going around, they going around they're sending like little tire gauges, making fun of the idea as if this is Barack Obama's energy plan.

Now two things one, they know they are lying about what my energy plan is. But the other this they are making fun of a step that every expert says will absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4%.

It's like, it's like these guys take pride in being ignorant.

You know, I mean they think it is funny that they are making fun of something that is absolutely true. This is serous business. Instead of running ads about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, they should go talk to some energy experts and actually make a difference.

Obama sums the Republicans up perfectly. They take pride in being ignorant. And they are laughing at what he said, even though what he said is perfectly true.

They love nothing more than to reduce complex arguments to purple heart bandaids or tyre gauges, highlighting what a bunch of immature morons they are.

Homor Simpson would be their perfect candidate. And what's so different about what Obama said and what McCain is saying here?
