"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

Of course. It is "necessary" to drive down the American standard of living.

For the "common good".

And the lickspittles in the media can't understand why Americans despise the pinko in the White House.

Keep your eye on the ball in the Senate. Yes, the House screwed up, but don't let it pass in the Senate!

The Democrats always provide material such as this for the Republicans to use in campaign ads, but what the Republicans do instead is say “me too” in the hope that the media will love them.

McCain could have bludgeoned Obama with this or any number of other videos.
