The Energenie (Satire)

Barack Obama's new energy plan revealed last week that proper tire inflation should reduce our need for foreign oil. This week petroleum costs are down, leading me to believe that his brilliant plan must posses some merit. Certainly following his guidance, millions of Americans took their vehicles to the local auto shops to ensure their tire pressures were normal.

All of this attention on the tire (a petroleum based product) has led some Obama supporters to speculate about contributions he may have received from BIG OIL. Others say BIG TIRE has been spreading its influence.

Nonetheless, Obama has finally revealed part 2 of his energy policy which has been both air tight (no pun intended) and ingenious. His newest measure: No more oil changes. That's right - change your oil no more. Obama has taken the position that if no one in America changed their oil in America for one full year, coupled with appropriate tire pressures...and we could save billions on oil costs.

Man, if only I could have come up with that.
