I would have to say that, assuming the context was what Obama says it was, people really shouldn't be making fun of it. I'm against Obama as much as anybody, but I'd have to agree with Nato. Obama really gave no reason to think it's a policy. If you could find an expert that disagrees on the idea that it'd save 3-4% nationwide(contradicting his statement that all the experts agree), that would work, but the statement itself was sound.

It only got into a policy discussion because McCain's campaign started joking that it was his entire energy plan. So no, it wasn't a policy discussion until McCain made it one. Go criticize McCain's campaign, if you object to tire pressure being talked about in the context of energy policy.

The savings for an individual consumer are the same. Offshore drilling will give us temporary relief of nearly 2%. Keeping your tires properly inflated makes your car 3-4% more efficient. I think an energy solution will take federal action, and individual action. Keeping our cars as efficient as possible is one thing. If you mean to make fun of this as a part of the solution, you should probably try harder. He is entirely correct. The savings for an individual consumer are the same.
