In mocking Obama, McCain told a motorcycle rally in Sturgis, S.D.: "My opponent doesn't want to drill, he doesn't want nuclear power, he wants you to inflate your tires." The Republican National Committee widely distributed tire pressure gauges labeled "Obama energy plan" and suggested that was the Illinois senator's only idea for reducing oil imports, although both candidates have offered multifaceted energy proposals. Apparently, McCain has changed his tune: "John McCain appeared to make a serious U-turn Tuesday on the practice of keeping one’s tires inflated to save fuel. McCain and his campaign have ruthlessly mocked Obama for telling cash-pinched gas consumers in Springfield, Missouri last week to keep their tires inflated to conserve gas. The presumptive GOP nominee got a big laugh at a massive biker rally on Monday when he mockingly told the crowd, “My opponent doesn’t want to drill, he doesn’t want nuclear power, he wants you to inflate your tires.” But on a conference call with Philadelphia voters Tuesday night, McCain offered support for the fuel-saving tip. “And could I mention that Sen. Obama a couple of days ago said that we ought to all inflate our tires, and I don’t disagree with that,” he said on the call. “The American Automobile Association strongly recommends it. But I also don't think that that's a way to become energy independent." politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com Oops! He forgot to mention that Nascar also said today that keeping your tires inflated is good for gas mileage. Nice try though! ;-)
