In a post on his RedState.com blog titled, “Barack Obama: Out of touch with large families,” CNN contributor Erick Erickson falsely claims that Obama told a parent of ten kids who was concerned about high gas prices “to sell his van that holds his ten kids and get a hybrid car.” Erickson calls Obama's comment “amazing.”

In fact, in the video Erickson himself posted, during banter with the parent, Obama said, “You definitely need a hybrid van [emphasis added],” not a “hybrid car.”

That was also just one part of the exchange with the parent in which Obama stressed the need to increase domestic oil production, increase fuel efficiency standards, and “start looking at electric cars and maybe natural gas cars.” He also told the audience that if they are “getting eight miles a gallon, you may want to think about a trade-in.”

Erickson has a long history of falsehoods and outrageous comments.
