Obama Rips Bush's Oil Policy

Think Progress reports on a Barack Obama (D-IL) speech to the AP. He called Bush's Oil Policy: It's Like Admitting Alcoholism and Then Skipping The 12-Step Program. "His funding for renewable fuels is at the same level it was the day he took office. He refuses to call for even a modest increase in fuel-efficiency standards for cars. And his latest budget funds less then half of the energy bill he himself signed into law - leaving hundreds of millions of dollars in under-funded energy proposals." About time a Democrat said something. The whole speech is actually pretty good.
