On this day, August 4, in 1961, The One was born to mankind.

The RNC celebrates with a very special birthday gift for Barack Obama. Snort:

In celebration of Barack Obama’s special day, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is sending Washington, D.C., newsrooms and bureaus a special gift in his honor.

Like so many Americans, members of the media also are struggling to pay upwards of $4 a gallon for gas. But last week, Barack Obama said, “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.” (Barack Obama, Springfield, MO, 7/30/08)

So the RNC is providing members of the media with complimentary tools related to Barack Obama’s energy plan – a brand new tire gauge. 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.

Via Ed Morrissey, it looks like the McCain will also be distributing tire gauges at Obama’s latest energy event today in Lansing, MI.

Mockery is always the best medicine.

Who will be first on the left to find some way to spin this light-hearted fun as, you know, RACIST?!
