JF, > "It's like they are proud to be ignorant".

Obama is using the same straw man tactics employed by liberals on this thread:

huffingtonpost.com

> "Now two points, one, they know they're lying about what my energy plan is, but the other thing is they're making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent. It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant.

a) Hard to lie about Obama's energy plan when it changes with the wind.

b) No one is disputing the benefits of properly inflated tires.

It's like they are proud to be ignorant".

They are.....because it makes them feel like a red blooded, salt of the earth Americans. "Ignorance" and "proud American" got tied together when a certain group, who will remain anonymous but we know who they are, began to feel themselves falling behind intellectually. So they turned people like Obama, who is smart, savvy and well educated, into elitists who can never be true Americans.
