1. Action!

:patriot:

3. We've been waiting on his energy plan and some killer talking points.

Here we go. :patriot:

[KittyWampus]

13. talking points? Do you have ANY evidence the Obama campaign even knows what they are

and how to shove them down Democrats throats to regurgitate on news shows?

Cause I haven't seem any evidence.

2. Cue bipolar DU to get all happy.

:P

[KittyWampus]

14. I'm dubious. This should get as much attention as Obama's Economic Summit last week

[proud patriot]

4. excellent

[Coexist]

5. Cool! i hope this gets at least as much coverage and discussion as his weight

and protein bar preference did.

6. I love the "eliminate" the need for ME oil.

It's been driving me nuts that they've all been saying "reduce dependency."

This is great!

[depakid]

18. In 10 years, ME oil is going to cost so much, basic economics

will eliminate demand, but not the need.

What will be really interesting is to see whether the plan takes into account replacing Mexican imports- which by then will be largely gone.

Not expecting much, of course- but if it's at least something the campaign can demogogue effectively with- it'll have served its purpose for the time being.

7. Kick.

:kick:

[polichick]

8. We need to eliminate the need for oil, no matter where it comes from...

...in the next few years.

[indepat]

9. Eliminate Middle East oil when this nation has spent several hundred billion

dollars, inflicting a tad of collateral damage here and there in securing most of the profits from Iraq's oil reserves for five big oil companies? Something doesn't add up here, something doesn't make sense, something's amiss, like it's dichotomous. :P

10. What does a celebrity know about energy policy?

:sarcasm:

Good. Let McCain and his jealous little minions continue to jabber about Britney and Paris.

This is how he'll defuse those ads - by showing that he's not about to get down to the asinine level at which McCain is running his campaign and he'll take on real issues.

- as

[Triana]

11. But - but - but - he's too SKINNY to have an energy policy!

:sarcasm:

[polichick]

12. I really hope he was playing "good cop, bad cop" with his remarks...

...about offshore drilling on the same day Pelosi shut out the Republicans.

[Cha]

15. Excellent for Obama to do this on his birthday..

This will be such a gift for our Nation.

[greenman3610]

16. We desperately need this in MI

ground zero for coal development with 8 plants on the
drawing board.
Auto industry in death spiral due to brain dead
leadership's blind commitment to gas hogs.
Michigan folks, take advantage and follow up with letters to editors,
calls to call in stations, contacting legislators about an
Renewable Portfolio Standard....

[AzDar]

17. Way to go, Moses!!
