McCain Camp Response to Obama Energy Speech

From the McCain camp:

“When Barack Obama voted for the 2005 Bush-Cheney energy policy, he voted to give enormous tax breaks to the same big oil companies he attacked today. Barack Obama offered no new solutions for increasing domestic production of energy in his speech today, but promised energy independence within a decade. If Barack Obama thinks that can be achieved without new offshore drilling and more nuclear power, he isn't being straight with the American people.  And if Barack Obama really believes that some ‘progress' has finally been made in Washington, then he doesn't have the judgment to know that the American people expect more.” ---Tucker Bounds, spokesman John McCain 2008
