The McCain Truth Squad was quick to strike back when Barack Obama supposedly suggested that one way for Americans to save on that $4-plus gas was to maintain proper tire pressure. So sure were the grouchy grandpa’s handlers that they’d hit political paydirt that they arranged for Republican operatives to hand out tire-pressure gauges as being symbolic of Obama’s energy policy.
Hilarious, right?
Well, not really, since the suggestion is not only a good one, but has the backing of George Bush’s own Department of Energy.
