McCain could show them how it is done!!!
Ohh … wait, no horse drawn fire carriages in China
You’re comparing McCain to Ben Franklin? I’ve read Poor Richard’s Almanac, and I can tell you, McCain is no Ben Franklin.
McCain has experience. Obama has … nothing.
People with less political experience in a position of political power are more willing to change the system. He may be younger than the average presidential candidate, but that doesn’t explicitly make him stupid.
But this picture wasn’t even a political one in the first place. jellybeans made it a ‘McCain is old’ joke, you made it a ‘McCain is old’ is a good thing debate.
Obama’s youth doesn’t make him stupid … but his stupidity does.
So far, Obama has said that there are 57 states (or maybe 58), that the gas price crisis can be solved by inflating tires, and that the oceans stopped rising when he got more delegates than Hillary.
And that’s just a few of his gaffes. Obama has no achievements and has had everything handed to him on a plate.
Obama’s what we call a “fence post turtle”.
If you see a turtle on top of a fence post-
You know he didn’t get there by himself-
someone had to put him up there.
He doesn’t belong there.
He cannot stay up there and survive.
And it’s gonna be mighty painful when he falls…
Sounds more like Bush to me.
Then you must be deaf, because Bush has been on top of his post for eight years despite all your best efforts to bring him down.
Let’
s see if Obama can even last until November before the public recognise him for r the empty suit that he is.
true
stupid liberals
Just because someone doesn’t get fired, doesn’t mean that they’re good at their job.
Could I get a source for your first and third claim please. Second claim is not as bad because car are more efficient when the tyres are at the correct pressure.

It does seem he was a bit stupid on the whole 57 states thing, certainly somewhat similar to some of Bush’s worst stuff. Although most of Bush’s speech problems are merely spoonerisms and the like, rather than major factual errors. (Seriously, 50 is such an easy number to remember. I knew there were 50 states in the US before I managed to remember the number of states in my own country, just 6).
On the other hand, I remember seeing that second one on the news, and I just took it as him saying that he was going to do those things (because he was assuming he was going to be president, just because he beat Hillary). It was more metaphor and rhetoric than actual claims.
Tyres are more efficient when at the correct pressure, but Obama’s statement is still stupid because:
(1) It assumes that almost everyone has their tyres incorrectly inflated
(2) Even if all the tyres were correctly inflated, the fuel savings would be insignificant compared to overall consumption.
I think there was a study on tire pressure not long back and most people didn’t even know they were supposed to check it frequently.
Inflating your tires alone won’t solve anything but taken with other measure and taken by a LOT of people even these small changes can help. Just because something isn’t a quick fix doesn’t mean that it is valueless and worthy of mockery.
I recycle what I can. I use those “I used to be a plastic bottle” grocery bags until they fall apart. I don’t drink bottled water unless I am on the road and can’t trust the tap water. I carpool, we traded in the 6 cylinder for a 4. My fiance takes the metro bus to his train instead of park and ride. We have replaced all of our lightbulbs and we keep our AC filter clean.
These aren’t huge things in the overall scheme of life but if everyone made a small change here and there these changes would add up.
Republicans have seized on Barack Obama’s call for drivers to inflate their tires as a laughable response to the energy crisis. But at least three prominent John McCain supporters have recently agreed with the Democrat on tire efficiency.
While Joe Lieberman may be a recent convert (along with McCain) to the necessity of offshore drilling, the independent senator has long advocated a smarter approach to the nation’s tire fleet. Lieberman’s own website still features several press releases that treat tire efficiency as a smart idea — even a critical national security issue.
Nestled within the “Vehicle and Fuel Choices for American Security Act of 2005,” which Lieberman introduced in the Senate, section 201 requires the creation of a “national tire fuel efficiency program for tires designed for the use on passenger cars and light trucks.”
It doesn’t stop there, either. Lieberman is on record going as far back as 2001 touting the significant role tire efficiency can play in any plan to reduce the nation’s dependency on foreign oil. In a 2001 press release arguing against exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Senator said: “Increasing the fuel efficiency of replacement tires for our cars to the same level as those sold on new automobiles will save drivers $90 in fuel costs over the lifetime of the tires and will save the U.S. more than 70 times the amount of oil we might find in the Refuge.”
You’ve gone from Bush to Obama, from Australia’s perspective we say MASSIVE WIN…. end of…
yea because experence has done SOOO much for us in the last eight years
Indeed, it’s been a good eight years. Here’s hoping McCain can bring us another eight, rather than the disaster that Obama would create.
Its been five years of a unjustified war, seven years of a somewhat justified war (almost to the extent that a war can be justified) and seven years of assaults on human rights.
Only upside has been eight years of bushisms.
Seven years of successfully defending against terrorism, eight years of booming economy, no assault on human rights.
But the downside has been eight years of deranged liberal whining.
4000+ American troops killed over non-existent weapons of mass destruction and a non-existent Iraq-Al Qaeda link, countless lies and abuse on our civil liberties, attempts to hide a method of torture as “harsh interrogation”, a booming economy and lack of debt handed to Bush by the Clintons turned into a multi-trillion dollar debt and recessing economy, plummeting public opinion by the rest of the world, massive drop in the value of the dollar, an entire southern city more or less wiped off the map, the ban on assault weapons lifted for private ownership, etc. etc.
The one good thing Bush’s administration has done is no child left behind. Everything else he has touched is a complete and utter foul-up.
The downside is eight years of deranged liberal whining.
You can tell you’ve been owned when you have to resort to schoolyard logic.
Kthxbai.
Good response my friend, proof that you can’t counter anything and instead must throw insults. Poor … insults.
doesn’t national deficit drive the value of the dollar up? and compare the number of terrorist attacks that took place during clinton’s administration against american targets to the number of attacks that took place during the bush administration. I’m not saying it’s a good thing that soldiers are dying, but would you rather have them attacking civilian targets or have them attacking military targets? and would you rather it be on our own soil or soil close to the center of the terrorist activity? And what’s wrong with the ban on assault weapons being lifted? Gun control laws don’t keep guns out of the hands of law-breakers (do you think all the gangsters and thugs got their automatic weapons legally? Do you even know how they defined “assault weapon”?
Fail.
Massive deficit causes massive loaning which causes the demand for currency other than dollars to rise (massively). The relative value of the dollar plummets in comparison.
Okay, compare the numbers for us. I love how people ranting about statistics always conveniently forget to include the actual numbers.
(Also, a “war on terror”, as I remember it, was never a huge part of Clinton’s agenda. Yet somehow people are so much more terrified these days. Funny that.)
“Center of terrorist activity”? Gods, I also love how people seem to think that the Middle East is nothing but a sandy cesspit of anti-American bigotry, ski masks and Russian assault rifles. Terrorism has no center, no really clear leaders or even people that are identifiable before it’s too late. That’s why it’s scary. That’s why they call it “terror”.
(The theoretical problem with the lifting of the ban is that it puts deadlier weapons into places where they might be accidentally abused. But the numbers say different: I recall statistics from a few years ago, Canada had something like 65 people killed by firearms and the US had 11,000. While Canada has more people and the same amount of guns. Anyway, screw that. Second Amendment, baby. And yeah if you ban it it just gets cheaper on the black market.)
You call this last year booming? This past year has been _one of_ the worst since the 30s.
Our exchange rate with Canada is almost even and the pound is way up over the dollar – these are the only 2 that I tend to track but when our currency is in the crapper our economy isn’t so great.
I’ve told you kids not to drink from the hose!!
But Mooooooooommm…!
stop it now or you will put an eye out! oops, there goes a tooth…
Waarrrgarble!
( See LOLDog to understand that)
Coolness
LOL!!
Are they wearing life jackets (PFD)?
Waterboarding: failed.
Aside from the funny part,
Seriously, WTF are they doing?
