MSNBC.com recently reported that Barack Obama spoke on the issue of emission control regarding climate change. His plan calls for several billion dollars to investigate alternative forms of energy and reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. This is a very pro-active plan, and Obama makes sure that his audience realizes that Hilary is not backing a similar plan.
It is very obvious that Obama is trying anything at this point to make up the 32 percentage point gap between him and Hilary in the latest polls. However, it is very interesting that he keeps calling Hilary out on her voting record in the Senate, when he has several past discrepancies also. In fact, he backed Bush's 2005 energy that was not popular among conservation groups. It should be noted that this bill did bring $40 million to Illinois. However, Obama is now criticizing the current administration on this very same bill. That totally makes sense! We've seen several cases of mud-slinging against Hilary for her voting record, but maybe the "pots" behind her in the polls should be careful when calling-out the "kettle."
