As this article shows, Obama isn't quite as out of touch with America's energy crisis when he comments to an individual asking about how he can save energy NOW. Obama, more so than McCain, understands both the short-term and long-term needs of this country and is making a more candid and realistic effort to achieve energy independence. McCain is unfortunately exploiting the general ignorance of the American people with his campaign. Please read the below article. Even if you are going to vote for McCain, it'll benefit you anyways.

The "Dr. No" label doesn't entirely fit since Obama has signaled that he would favor a comprehensive energy plan that would include offshore drilling. The "Bush-Cheney" line also rings a little hallow since McCain has advocated some long term plans to lessen the country's dependence on oil. It is too bad that offshore drilling is getting so much attention because what we should really be doing is examing all that the candidates' energy plans encompass.

As a voter, I would like to see more substantive coverage of McCain's nuclear power advocacy. I don't have the background to assess the pros and cons of adopting his nuclear strategy.

McCain is just another Karl Rove clone. He said he would not run a negative campaign and he is only one to go negative. That's all he has and it is already tiring. What he doesn't realize is that his attacks just make him look like a desperate old politician.

America is blessed with wind, solar rediation and tidal power - Just the things T. Boone Pickens is advocatingin his Picken'sPlan. The only things hindering their usage are state and federal regulations sought by the Energy Monopolies. It is time to toss away politics for this election and put ALL candidates on the spot as to where they stand on breaking the energy monopolies so that the air we breathe may generate the power we use. We can end our dependance on foreign oil, use natural gas to power our vehicles and wind and solar generated electricity to heat and cool our homes. If my Washington State representatives arent listening, they won't get my vote. If they're elected, I'll work for their recall.

Paris Hilton ad was very effective in highlighting the triviality and absurdity of John McCain's celebrity ad!!!.

The "Wrinky white dude" isn't too hot for Paris, We couldn't agree More!!!.

Last week, John Mccain decided being "a celebrity", was a sin because Barack Obama had 200,000 supporters and fans in Germany.Being the most popular American politician.

This week McCain was against inflating tires and tuning our cars.He and the whole republican party were ranting and raging like lunatics.Listen to Rush limbaugh, Sean hannity and the rest of the right -wing media,they have gone beserk about inflating tires!!!.The fact that NASCAR and AAA and even Bush's department of Transportation recommend that and Americans rountinely that was lost on John Mccain and whole republican machine.Talk about some people taking extreme pride in their ignorance.Worst, having spent so much time, money and energy ONLY to turn-around and say yes they procedure works is as absurd and trivial as John Mccain and his candidancy!!!.
