More often than not, Senator Obama of the 109th Congress has voted in favor of Big Oil. In fact, he appears to vote in favor of Cheney/Bush Package deals.
He is on record as voting for oil drilling in the Artic, voting to obliterate rivers and streams on the west coast, mainly in Oregon (californians kicked them out) in the name of LNG. This was part of Cheney's and Bush's Energy Bill. Senator Obama continuously tells us that we need to move towards "alternative" energy plans, yet he votes in favor of the current energy forces for things like "clean coal" as if there were such a thing that would not hurt the environment, liquid natural gas, leasing of the shale for purposes of extraction, and drilling for oil in our country which would reverse the environmental protection acts that had to be enacted due to past pollution and destruction.
Obama, unfortunately, is pandering to every direction disclosing only ideology that fits a territory while ensuring by way of his vote, that current corporations in control have no reason to worry--business as usual. Guess that's why we see so many warm fuzzy commercials uniting liberals and conservatives in the name of energy. It is apparent that Obama has no intention of moving us away from carbon based fuels. In addition, he has voted for anything that would promote ethanol, which means farm subsidies that deplete our food supply and erode the soil its all grown in.
My thoughts are if you are going to support policy that revolves around science, you better know your science and know that graphs and stats are used only for marketing purposes. The moment you see such marketing tools, know that you are the intended sucker.
By the way, Hillary voted against these bills.
Just thought some of you might value a little truth.
