So High Above

The Obama for President Campaign today released a comprehensive viable energy plan. It could be more aggressive but it is better than we have seen before and far superior to The McCain plans which relies on expanding the production and burning of fossil fuels. Senator McCain's plan would actually subsidize Oil Corporations with 5 Billion U.S. Tax Payer dollars.

Senator Obama talked about all the right policies and gave hope to his battered campaign. Senator Obama covered topics ranging from the high energy costs caused by the failed policy of the Bush Administration and about making a major investment as a Country into Alliterative Energy. Mr. Obama covered the failures of the unfunded school mandates such as the failing Bush Policy of no child left behind.
