Problem solved America, just go out and make sure that there is "air" in your tires and the world demand on the oil supply will become a non issue. No doubt, the Obama faithful will develop a humorous spin to the Conservative reaction to this hoax, in an attempt to cast Republicans in a humiliating light. Try as they will however, it isn't going to work. The sterling logic of energy utopia as a function of tire pressure isn't going to fly with mainstream America.
What the liberal press, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid et al fail to comprehend, is that those of us who live in the real world are not infected with acute "Beltway Derangement Syndrome." Our decisions are based on reality and necessity, not political calculation. That the Dems actually calculated that refusing to allow access to domestic oil supplies at a time when gas prices are severely impacting the people would somehow work in their favor, should be all that the people need to know about the true intentions of the Democratic Party.
In short, "its about their power stupid," y'all can go to hell in a hand basket.
We can attain energy independence in the immediate by using that which we have in abundance. By so doing, we ensure ourselves against Middle East extortion, meet a real and necessary requirement and guarantee the time that will be required to develop a realistic alternative. This is what the Democrats seeks to prevent. Such logic could only find a rational argument among the radically adherent. For the rest of us, immediate action to secure our abundant natural resources is mandatory.
