Second 2008 Presidential Debate

During the second presidential debate Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain answer questions from the audience. During this debate I think that Senator Obama did a good job on it. A good point that Senator Obama made was “Senator McCain talks a lot about drilling, and that’s important, but we have three percent of the world’s oil reserves and we use 25 percent of the world’s oil. So what that means is that we can’t simply drill our wait out of the problem. And we’re not going to be able to deal with the climate crisis if our only solution is to use more fossil fuels that create global warming.” A bad point that Senator Obama made was “Senator McCain and I actually agree on something. He said a while back that the big problem with energy is that for 30 years, politicians in Washington haven’t done anything. What Senator McCain doesn’t mention is he been there 26 of them. And during that time, he voted 23 times against alternative fuels, 23 times.”
