While campaigning, Obama admitted that his energy plan would cause electric bills to “skyrocket.” Few took note, perhaps because Sen. John McCain also backed some form of a “cap-and-trade” energy tax.

McCain was such a lousy candidate. We can see what Obama is like -- we need to recall that McCain pretty much ran a campaign declaring "I'm just like Obama!" Which is pretty darn scary.

I never tire of pointing out an exchange in one of the early presidential debates. Obama was asked for specific areas where he would cut the budget. His (paraphrased) response: "We do need to cut the budget, and I will. I will cut the budget by investing in roads and bridges. I will invest in health care and education. I will invest in green technology."

Then they asked McCain where he would cut the budget. His answer: "Defense".

McCain had to be THE WORST candidate in the bunch. He couldn’t distinguish himself from the zero in one significant way. Not on energy, not on government waste, not on anything other than the WOT in Iraq which was winding down anyway.
