Transcript of Obama-Sotomayor announcement from CNN.
Of the many responsibilities granted to a president by our Constitution, few are more serious or more consequential than selecting a Supreme Court justice. The members of our highest court are granted life tenure, often serving long after the presidents who appointed them. And they are charged with the vital task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries ago to some of the most difficult questions of our time.

Obama: Inflating tires is better than drilling for oil
July 29, 2008 somewhere in Missouri
Obama Insists Inflating Tires Better Than Oil Drilling
Obama"There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy," Obama said. "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'd actually save just as much!"

Does Obama really think that accessing our own offshore oil (before the ChiComs & Cubans slant drill it all) would only increase domestic production by 3%? He spends his time in this video picking his ear and community organizing his nose harvestings while flaunting his ignorance. Again, B.O.'s pretentious arrogance makes his profound ignorance all the more laughable.

Pump up the tires, too.
March 23, 2009
William Amos and HA reader Xiphos send today’s entry, where President Barack Obama waxes nostalgic for the days when cars were truly fuel-efficient. Both the San Francisco Chronicle and the Detroit Free Press reported this late last week:
In his first few months, President Barack Obama has proven an ardent booster of the U.S. auto industry’s future — but he keeps screwing up its history.
Last month, Obama mistakenly called the automobile an American invention, surprising the Germans who claim that mantle. And in a speech in California today, Obama revived an inaccurate jab against the industry that Ford Motor Co.’s original Model T burned less fuel than modern sport utility vehicles. …
“The 1908 Model T — think about this — the 1908 Model T earned better gas mileage than the typical SUV in 2008,” Obama told the crowd. “Think about that — a hundred years later and we’re getting less gas mileage, not better, on SUVs.”
Well, except it didn’t, as the (Detroit Free Press) explains:
But according to Ford the first Model Ts built in 1908 could go 13 to 21 miles on a gallon, depending on the particular variation. The automaker and Model T clubs say typical Tin Lizzies averaged 15 m.p.g.
What remains unclear is how it makes sense to compare a fabric-roofed, four-seat car to a seven-passenger truck stuffed with high-tech accoutrements.
Those first Model Ts weighed about 1,200 pounds, lacked windows, rode on wood wheels and could ease up to a top speed of 45 miles per hour. A modern SUV tips the scales at 4,600 pounds, hits a top speed of 140 m.p.h. and has to meet a bevy of laws for crashworthiness.
The Chronicle includes this pithy quote from the CEO of the Model-T Ford Club of America, emphasis mine:
But with an array of modern regulations, he noted, “You couldn’t build a Model T today because the government wouldn’t let you put it on the road.”
Maybe Ford should check with Obama to start applying for waivers ….
