Happy Birthday, Barack Obama

Monday, Aug. 4

The Republican National Committee is having some fun with Barack Obama's birthday today. The committee is sending tire gauges to members of the Washington news media. Why?

According to the RNC's news release, "Like so many Americans, members of the media also are struggling to pay upwards of $4 a gallon for gas. But last week, Barack Obama said, `There are things that you can do individually though to save energy; making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much.' (Barack Obama, Springfield, MO, 7/30/08)

"So the RNC is providing members of the media with complimentary tools related to Barack Obama's energy plan -- a brand new tire gauge."
