Once Again, Does McCain Know Who’s Getting His Jokes?
Erin Kotecki Vest, otherwise known as Queen of Spain, writes a post about watching Obama’s energy plan from ground zero–Detroit, Michigan–a city that NEEDS jobs. Surrounded by her mother and her aunt, Erin watched the speech Obama delivered from Lansing and reacted this way:
As the Senator discussed his very detailed New Energy for American plan, touted by Climate Progress as “…easily the best energy plan ever put forward by a nominee of either party…” republicans were emailing me to let me know they were handing out tire gauges to mock Obama’s reminders that keeping your tires properly inflated saves gas.
They were mocking a gas saving tip while sending this to my inbox:
“Today, I’m asking for your help in putting Senator Obama’s “tire gauge” energy policy to the test. With an immediate donation of $25 or more, we will send you an “Obama Energy Plan” tire pressure gauge. Will simply inflating your tires reduce the financial burden of high gas prices on your wallet?
It’s clear Senator Obama has no plan to address the energy challenges we face as a nation. He has said no to offshore drilling, no to expanding domestic drilling and no to nuclear energy. He has no plan to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”- Rick Davis Campaign Manager, John McCain 2008.
I read this aloud to my Mom.
She threw her hands in the air, entirely disgusted. She was watching Senator Obama give detailed information, point-by-point, on a plan that not just reduces our dependence on foreign oil but rids of us reliance on Middle East oil on 10 years.
“Why do they do that?”
My Mom asked, still shaking her head over the McCain Campaign email.
Sure, some people will fall for the McCain campaign’s ridiculous trivialization of a candidate who presents a game-changing energy plan. It’s what they did to Jimmy Carter back in 1979. But guess where we would be if we had heeded his message almost 3o years ago? Way ahead of the curve.
