Carter cut the government payroll more than any other president in recent history. A lot of the deregulation of the US economy that Reagan took credit for was started by Carter.
And what's the point in posting a fact-free Obama advert? Here's McCain in his own words :

Hey buddy...McCain is solutions oriented his energy policy is a lot more feasable now that he's FOR drilling in America. We can't afford to be oil prudes!
Meanwhile the Democrat Congress is trying to save the planet......if they really wanted to do that they should all just shoot themselves

Come on, Lyle. Offshore drilling isn't going to do anything for us. The companies doing the drilling are not obligated to sell their oil exclusively to us. They can sell to anybody- more than likely China considering they're just doling out cash to anyone with oil and have only increased their demand. I'm not saying don't drill, but don't think that's going to help anything- especially within the next decade.
Oops
It's not the point that they sell it exclusively to us it's that MORE OIL on the market means lower prices and when we sell it AMERICAN COMPANIES get the money and not foreign companies.
The Democrats don't want wars abroadI disagree, they'll stick their nose in a different country's business BUT the media will applaud them for doing a great thing. Somalia, Bosnia....these places ringing any bells

It doesn't mean lower prices at all. Offshore drilling won't make gas one cent cheaper. If they started offshore drilling tomorrow on the leases they do have by the time they produce any oil US domestic demand would have increased more than the new production so no decrease in the price. US oil companies already have a ton of leases that they haven't bothered drilling yet and it'd be the same with any new ones they get. What they want is new leases in their balance sheet so that's now official Bush administation policy.
Every US administration gets involved in foreign countries militarily. There have been over 80 US military foreign interventions since WW2. The Democrats didn't mange to spend trillions of dollars and over 4000 US lives and counting in handing the world's second-largest oil reserve over to the Iranians though. Only the genius Bush managed to do that.
Kirkland if the speculators move the market then YES even talking about drilling happening in the US would mean an immediate drop in oil prices in the futures market and that would then lower the price of gas.
Not making more power plants won't help....wind and solar alone aren't going to be enough.

McCain's energy policy is designed to fool people into believing it would have an effect on gas prices. In reality his energy policy is to give billions of dollars of socialist government handouts to the oil companies on top of the roughly hundred billion in handouts the Bush administration have paid out every year for the last seven years. There isn't any bs those guys come out with that you won't believe, is there?
The Democrats want to stop the GOP policy of spending trillions of dollars of borrowed money on energy wars abroad for the exclusive benefit of a few big corporations (including obviously US oil companies) and instead invest trillions in new clean energies. Now which policy is smarter in the long run?
