So, Obama's got national buys on both CNN and MSNBC now.

1. That ad is sweet.

2. Old news

They were up days ago. One ran on CNN right after the S.C. Debate while pundits were still analyzing the debate.

Great move IMO. Also a great add.

4. I just saw the ad on MSNBC for the first time.

I've already seen it on CNN many times.

So yeah, Gobama!

3. Obama has taken lots of money from nuclear, coal, Wall Street, and health insurance interests.

Obama seemingly voted for the bill -- which opponents Clinton, Joe Biden and Christopher Dodd voted against -- to support energy industry players in Illinois. Following passage of the bill, his office put out a press release with the headline "Obama Says Energy Bill Helps Illinois by Doubling Ethanol Use, Investing in Clean Coal." According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Obama's 2004 Senate campaign received significant funding from the energy industry -- $178,200. Illinois has huge coal reserves and produces corn, which is used to create ethanol.

As I've mentioned before, Obama's campaign funding has proved problematic. In fact, his presidential campaign has received substantial funding from a variety of energy companies, chief among them Exelon (EXC), which has donated close to $190,000 for his campaign already. Other energy firms donating funds include Exxon Mobil, Chevron (CVX ), Forest Oil (FST), Sempra Energy (SRE), and Reliant Energy (RRI).

Obama's campaign didn't respond to email requests for clarification on his vote for the 2005 energy bill.

Clearly, the U.S. does require leadership to ensure that America becomes the global leader on developing an alternative energy industry. But it isn't clear that Obama is far enough removed from big oil interests.

Obama can buy all the ads he wants when corporate America is funding his campaign.

5. You don't have your facts straight...

Obama voted for that bill because it had the largest allotment for the development of alternative energies to date.

But thanks! :hi:

7. sorry-- but obama has backed the coal industry

illinois has more coal than god but it`s to high in sulfur. we have a new "clean coal" experimental plant in the early stages of planning whether it will be built is anyone`s guess.

he has voted on other clean measures.....

[madrchsod]

6. since obama is from illinois...

and we have a shit load of coal here i will agree on the obama coal deal.

but--did you know that the last three democratic debates were sponsored by the coal industry? and only three questions were asked about climate change/global warming?...

i hazard to guess climate change -global warming is in the top 5 things people talk about in causal conversations and it`s one topic that most people agree with..


there is plenty of blame to go around on this issue
