    Illinois Senator Barack Obama warns citizens at his 50th Town Hall meeting about gas guzzling, WPSD-TV reports.

    It was among many points made to the standing room only audience at the Metropolis Community Center. Obama spoke on everything from DC politics to global warming.

    He says part of the blame for the world's higher temperatures rests on gas guzzling vehicles. Obama says consumers can make the difference by switching to higher mileage hybrids.

    Today the Senator said, "It would save more energy, do more for the environment and create better world security than all the drilling we could do in Alaska."

    "After the meeting... Obama left in a GMC Envoy after admitting to favoring SUV's himself," claimed local News Channel 6.

    Tommy Vietor, Senator Obama's press secretary, explains: "What Senator Obama has long advocated is the use of vehicles that are more fuel efficient, including but not exclusively hybrids.

    "The vehicle senator obama travels in while in illinois is a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV), which can run on e85, a blended fuel made of 85 percent ethanol.

    "So he in fact was practicing what he preached at the town hall meeting in Metropolis yesterday when he said we must drive fewer gas-guzzling vehicles."

    But it does not appear that GMC's Envoy is E85 ready. One wonders why so many slashdot readers have such a boner for Obama.

    Israel's problem is that they backed off--if they had nuked Damascus and Tehran, the scum would have been forced to submit. As it is, they are emboldened and rearming. There is nothing these islamofascists understand but overwhelming force and death.

    You were making a perfectly good point until you brought Israel and Lebanon into it. Now everyone will feel compelled to give their own stupid opinions on the stupid war which ended two days and 42 minutes ago with a cease fire.
