Of course our President is right on his interpretation about race... he's an equal oppertunity guy not a racist. 


We've been telling you this for like 2 years now! Hey just the other day he called Kanye West a jackass. He doesn't care... it is what it is. 


And Andy you're so cute!;)


You love to play that... I'll only tell a sliver of truth and leave out all the rest because the rest would make me look stupid. Let's take tire inflation. That's actually a Department of Energy test comparison study that President Obama was merely repeating... isn't it? Come on... isn't it? 


Fact Check:  


John McCain and his Republican Party are gleefully mocking Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's suggestion that properly inflated tires could help save oil. The thing is, there's truth to it.


Obama told voters that they can take steps individually to save energy.


THE FACTS:


The Department of Energy estimates that keeping tires properly inflated can help improve gas mileage by about 3.3%. It's one step the agency recommends to reduce fuel costs, along with removing items from the trunk, replacing clogged air filters and getting regular tuneups.


Besides the recommendation to keep tires properly inflated, Obama also suggested providing incentives for people to trade in gas guzzling vehicles for more fuel-efficient cars; investing in research and development to produce new fuel-saving technologies like long-running batteries; encouraging innovation in alternative energies; and retrofitting buildings to make them more energy efficient.
