On gas prices, John McCain’s part of the problem.

McCain and Bush support a drilling plan that won’t produce a drop of oil for seven years.

McCain will give more tax breaks to big oil.

He’s voted with Bush 95% of the time.

Barack Obama will make energy independence an urgent priority.

Raise mileage standards.

Fast track technology for alternative fuels.

A $1000 tax cut to help families as we break the grip of foreign oil.

A real plan and new energy.

OBAMA: I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.

The ad will run in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – the same four states in which the Republican National Committee is running false, negative ads attacking Barack Obama.

This is one of the reasons I personally support Sen. Obama’s opting out of Campaign Finance. This ad is supposed to counteract an ad made against Obama NOT from McCain but from the RNC. Now if Obama opted in to Campaign Finance he could not have wasted money debunking the lies in the RNC ad.

When he rode off into the political sunset in 2002 for a high-rolling investment banking job at UBS, there was joy among many of his liberal colleagues on Capitol Hill. For two decades the man who came to be called “Dr. No” had earned a reputation as a one-man wrecking crew of big-government legislative priorities. “I consider defeating Hillary health care as one of my greatest accomplishments,” he says.

A look at the record confirms that Mr. Gramm played a decisive role in nearly every fiscal conservative victory in the 1980s and ’90s – from the Reagan budget and tax cuts to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley banking reforms of the late 1990s.
