I agree. Obama should just publish Mc Cains voting record in the next ads. This will show the American people that Mc Shame was never ready to lead.

This guy was in congress for over 25 years and he didn't show any leadership. Obama will school the old man on how to get some work done!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Obama '08!!!

It is even worse than you think.  Pumping that oil is playing the last trump.

Americans may know how to keep the right tire pressure but every time a survey is done on the subject it has proven that they are bad at actually doing it.

Nonsense! He was in favor of drilling on land and opposed to drilling offshore. He hasn't changed his positions at all. All he has said is that he would be willing to accept drilling off shore as part of a greater energy bill if that is what is needed to get it passed.

In the senate you need 60 votes and the republicans won't vote for anything but off shore drilling. He may have to take the bad with the good.

Yeah b/c Obama's clearly thinking rationally when he sets the goal for having 1 million plug-in hybrid vehicles on the road by 2015. Yup, no tricks or tree hugging appeasing gimmicks there.

Bwhahaha at Obama changing his commercial after flip flopping on domestic drilling.

McCain's center piece for energy independence: more oil even though we have 3% of the world's proven reserves. We have basically paid for Iraq's reconstruction and now because of their oil profits they have a budget surplus. We are just giving money away to the Middle East, while we see huge budget deficits and high inflation and unemployment. By the way oil companies made the largest profits in history. I am tired of being fleeced by the government and oil companies. Time for change.

The New York Times did an article on Obama's ties to Excelon early last year. Obama received substantial campaign contributions from executives at Excelon engergy. He then allowed Excelon to gut and ultimately scrap his proposed legislation that would have required enhanced reporting of nuclear leaks. Obama then told voters in Iowa that he passed the legislation, which was false. Read the NYT piece. I am not a right-winger. I have voted Dem for over 20 years, but I think Obama is a fraud.

"Vote for me and I'll give you $1000." Now that's taking the high road.

I think most intelligent Americans know to keep their tires inflated properly and to wear a sweater when it's chilly out. Obama's suggestion is all air (no pun intended) -- not a solution to energy independence.
