Paris Hilton Has Better Energy Ideas Than Barack Obama, Says John McCain Out With a New ‘Celebrity’ Ad For Obama

After GOP-nominee-to-be Arizona Senator and “white-haired guy” John McCain made an ad touting Illinois Senator and Democratic-nominee-to-be Barack Obama’s celebrity status after he came back from his European tour minus meeting injured U.S. servicemen recovering from injuries suffered in combat asked if Obama is ready to lead, Paris Hilton has come out with a video which basically endorses McCain’s position on energy solutions for America.

I don’t know if Ms. Hilton had the foresight into what exactly she was doing when she made the video extolling drilling offshore, where it is now prohibited due to Speaker of the House of RepresentativesNancy ‘I want to save the planet’ Pelosi’s hard-fisted parliamentary moves that caused Congress to adjourn without any appropriations being passed because she thought maybe a Democrat or Republican would be able to put drilling offshore into one of the bills. But when she said that her “energy policy” was to “do a hybrid of both candidates,” including focusing on new technologies AND opening up our offshore to oil discovery and extraction “with strict environmental oversight,” she is disagreeing with Nancy AND Barack Obama, while pushing for Republican and McCain efforts at comprehensive energy policy for America.

Barack Obama may be trying to weasel out of yet another policy postion, this time about drilling for American oil on American soil and territory, but he has yet to totally flip on offshore drilling except he my allow it in an as yet undefined ”compromise” solution to a nonexistent current process that I guess would happen AFTER he became president. He cannot lead now, but displays absolute assuredness he will be able to so AFTER he is elected president. Barack displays the characteristics of a genuine charlatan about his so-called leadership abilities, in my opinion.

The current political reality is that he cannot, or will not, get Nancy to change her mind and let the House of Representatives actually represent, or keep a growing number of Democrats towing their worn-out talking point about drilling for oil on “eighty-five million acres” that don’t contain much oil underneath it.

 ”It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain’s ‘all of the above’ approach to America’s energy crisis — including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan,” John Mccain said after learning of her video.

“John McCain says we need offshore oil drilling and we need it now,”  campaign manager Rick Davis said in an email to supporters recently.  “Senator Barack Obama has consistently opposed offshore drilling - calling it a ‘gimmick.’ Senator Obama’s solution to high gas prices is telling Americans to make sure their tires are inflated.”

Obama had said this last week: “There are things that you can do individually though to save energy; 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 could actually save just as much.”

Even the Republican National Committee had fun with Obama’s new energy plan for America.

“…the RNC is providing members of the media with complimentary tools related to Barack Obama’s energy plan – a brand new tire gauge,” the RNC wrote in a press release recently. “Because, instead of actually increasing America’s domestic oil supply, this is how Obama thinks Americans should try to alleviate burdensome pain at the pump.”

Heck, McCain even used it as a way to financially help his campaign to raise money to battle Obama.

“Today, I’m asking for your help in putting Senator Obama’s ‘tire gauge’ energy policy to the test,’ McCain campaign manager Rick Davis had written to potential donors. “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?”

And McCain seems to be going after Obama’s jugular on the issue of drilling. 

“We need oil drilling and we need it now offshore and we need it now. He has consistently opposed it. He has opposed nuclear power. He has opposed reprocessing. He has opposed storage. And the only thing I’ve heard him say is that we should inflate our tires. So he has no plan for addressing the energy challenges that we face,” McCain said during a Panama City press conference on Friday.

Meanwhile, Americans are suffering high energy and food prices while the Congress enjoys their tax-payer funded five week vacation without providing leadership for America on virtuously any major issue facing the nation.

In other political news, Salon quotes McCain as saying something seemingly rather foolish: “I encouraged Cindy to compete,” he told the crowd. “I told her [that] with a little luck, she could be the only woman to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.” The biker beauty pageant features topless women.

And according to a new poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, Americans are sick of hearing about Barack Obama. With Election Day still three months away, 48 percent of Americans said they’re hearing too much about the Democratic candidate. Only 26 percent said the same about his Republican rival, John McCain.
