Since the gaslines of the seventies Democrats and Republicans have talked about energy independence but nothing's changed. Except now Exxon's making 40 billion dollars a year and we're paying 3,50 for gas.
I'm Barack Obama. I don't take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists and I won't let them block change anymore.
They'll pay a penalty on windfall profits, we'll invest in alternative energy, create jobs and free ourselves from foreign oil.
I approve this message because it's time Washington worked for you, not them.
