RUSH: You parents who have sent your kids or whose kids are at present in Ivy League schools, you might want to think about the education they're getting just by listening to Barack Obama, because he is a walking, talking example of the kind of education you come out of Harvard or any of these Ivy League schools. This is Obama yesterday at a campaign event in Springfield, Missouri. ...

Why Rush Limbaugh makes over $400-million -- and deserves every dime

... One of my favorite
stories of the day comes from the UK. A rich Arab sheik sent his Lamborghini on a 6500-mile round trip to Britain
for an oil change. This is my kind of guy. I've almost done this myself, just wait, I'm going to tell you the
story here. This guy put his Lamborghini, it's a black and gold Lamborghini, he put this thing on a Qatar airlines
cargo plane and shipped it to London because it can only be serviced by licensed dealers. He had to get the oil
change. The oil change cost something like ...

The Anonymous Liberal —
... In the nearly thirty years since Carter delivered that speech, any politician that has ventured into similar territory has been similarly mocked and derided by Republicans. Barack Obama was mocked viciously just yesterday--and explicitly compared to Carter--because he pointed out that filling your tires with air reduces fuel consumption. Over the years, leaders of the Republican party—like Dick Cheney--have been openly hostile to the very concept of conservation and have allowed lobbyists for the oil companies to literally write our nation's energy policies. And during that ...

The Audacity of Wishful Thinking
The American Spectator —
In an off-the-teleprompter comment from Springfield, Missouri, the less-than-one-term Illinois Senator, Barack Obama, recently remarked that Americans could save as much fuel as might be obtained from offshore drilling merely by tuning up their cars and keeping tires properly inflated . Since the MSM hasn't seen fit to accurately publicize this amazing insight, I must insist that the senator's complete Obama-fuels program be immediately broadcast to the nation. This bold nine-point initiative will make both oil imports and new domestic drilling completely unnecessary by the ...

The New Editor
Victor Davis Hanson :
Inexperience and hubris—the same overconfidence that makes him say we need a Pentagon-sized new civilian aid department, to inflate our tires to avoid drilling, and must stop merely talking about reparations and starting doing something about them. His handlers need to return to the teleprompter, since all these incidents have in common the impromptu moment.

I covered Obama’s Energy plan here . Inflate your tires and get a tune up, was Barack’s solutions. In my previous post I showed you that at best, the savings of Barack’s plan would be 6% or $.24 on a $4 gallon of gas. Of course with most of newer cars being largely unimpacted by traditional “tune-up” needs and that not all cars have underinflated cars, the 6% at ...

admitted), for other reasons.
