Critical of McCain, Obama quiet on own energy vote

Obama voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by President Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production, a measure for which Vice President Dick Cheney played a major role. McCain opposed the bill, saying at the time that it included billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry.

The Obama campaign has said the Illinois senator supported the legislation because it included huge investments in renewable energy. Yet Democrats long have characterized the 2005 energy bill as being written by Cheney. One of them, Democratic primary rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, criticized Obama earlier this year for backing the "Dick Cheney lobbyist energy bill."

With polls showing concern over gas prices a prime concern of Americans, Obama has been depicting energy as the nation's most pressing national security and economic issue. In that effort, he casts McCain as more concerned about oil company profits and drilling than an overall energy strategy.

The McCain campaign charged that Obama wasn't being straight with voters and showed bad judgment.

This whole energy deal is hurting hussein. It's hurting the dems as a whole. The market is going through a small correction, but people are pissed off at the price of gas. They're pissed off they had to sell their favorite SUV and buy that tiny little cracker box so they could drive to work and back. So when hussein and his pack of idiots keep regurgitating this lie about it'll take ten years to see any oil and it will only make a couple cents difference, they don't believe them. Not when REAL oil people have said they can have new oil flowing in as little as 17 months.

So just keep up the lies and bull shit dems. It's sinking your filthy asses fast.

Yes it is. More people I know are getting irate with the Dems and wanting to start drilling. The Dems talk about wanting to do everything they can to develop energy but then refuse to drill.

Why would they do that? Then the ignorant public that only watches MSM nightly news would actually start to get the idea who's to blame for the $4+ a gallon gas at the pump.

The "big hit" the republicans took in the last midterm elections, I expect the same thing to happen to the dems. If the HISTORY making low approval rating isn't a hint, you have to be this person...
