2008: Obama’s Energy Speech
June 25th, 2008 by Matt
Since energy policy has dominated recent campaign news, and since I devoted several paragraphs to John McCain’s energy speech last week, which was littered with POMED-relevant rhetoric, I figured I’d link to Barack Obama’s energy speech given yesterday in Las Vegas. However, Obama’s speech focuses entirely on domestic remedies for our dependence on foreign oil, and the only mention of the Middle East comes in a clause lamenting President Bush’s recent trip to Saudi Arabia to beg the Kingdom to supply more oil. You’ll have to take a look at previous speeches for more specifics on how a revamped energy policy will affect the Middle East and the world beyond our borders.
