I don't get liberal arguments. If I listen to Obama he does not support off-shore drilling around our shores. If I listen to you Obama's position is false. Which is it? I agree that reasonable people would simply look at off-shore drilling on a case by case basis, but liberals often make blanket statements against it. Now you pretend there is no basis for confusion???

Ace, come on man, you know you don't beleive that.

There is no doubt that Obama has not clearly articulated a specific and detailed energy policy. Suggesting that things like windmills, windows, air-pressure, are the answers is a bit dishonest.

And putting the correct amount of pressure in your tires will improve you mpg.

When you use the word "correct" in this context, understand there are trade-offs. The pressure to maximize MPG is often different than recommended pressures. Traction, tire life, handling, heat build up, ride comfort, water displacement are some of the other factors.
Hey, I got an idea, if the average American lost 25 pounds that would increase MPG's and perhaps that will help eliminate our need to drill for oil off-shore too.
