TOPIC: Debunking McCain/Palin talking point RE: Obama's Energy stance
TRANSCRIPT: TONY HARRIS: [...]The McCain Campaign is saying Barack Obama has switched positions on energy[...]
JOSH LEVS: [...]The squad is now looking at this clip from Sarah Palin. She was speaking to Fox News originally, the day after the last presidential debate and that's something that aired on Sunday.
SARAH PALIN (on video): That was kind of perplexing last night, listening to Barack Obama's position all of a sudden, saying "Yea" to Clean Coal, and perhaps "Yea" to offshore, he's so on record as having opposed and Senator Biden also, having opposed those...
LEVS:[...] Let's take a look at Obama's positions on those energy issues. Let's start off with this- Clean Coal- In the Illinois State Senate, he voted for a bill that provided $25 million for clean coal research and his energy plan in the presidential race includes a push for clean coal technology and on offshore drilling he opposed lifting the federal moratorium, but later he said he would compromise on that and he supports drilling in open areas. So, given all that, CNN Truth Squad verdict on this one? False. Obama long has supported clean coal technology and changed his stance on off shore drilling two months before the October 7th debate that Palin was referring to.
