A new Obama ad criticizing the McCain record on support of alternatives to oil. It is ironic that Republicans are willing to use the tax code to not only promote oil (see tax breaks for oil companies) but to promote a whole host of other favored industries. And yet McCain simply resists the notion of using the tax code to help develop alternatives that would help stop this countrie’s addiction to oil. That addiction has created the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world, from the United States to countries that in many cases are hostile towards us.
