Obama says nothing but "no" when it comes to addressing the energy problems the country is facing. "He just says no to lower gas taxes.... No to nuclear.... No to more production," says the narrator before concluding: "No new solutions. Barack Obama: Just the party line."

Fair? Unfair?
Why should you expect fairness from either side? They are polar opposites in intent, if not identity. Each is spending MILLIONS to make you think the other guy is worse. They cannot "nicely" demonize an opponent! Politics is war in its most civilized state, and the object is to CRUSH THE ENEMY, not just win an office.
The Clintons understand this. Republicans generally don't.
well, in my opinion, Obama has failed to address alternative energy issues with any kind of forward moving plan that this country needs. he has pandered about for votes while changing his position as often as i change my underwear. Is the add fair, Of course it is, it reflects a lot of peoples opinion, not just propaganda and lies. show me something besides doublespeak from Obama, and I'll rethink my opinion of his energy policy.
I would say it is about as Fair as Obama running an ad saying that he was responsible for the welfare reform act. Even though it was a Republican bill signed in by Clinton and Obama opposed it.
This is election season. They will both try and do things that are not fair.
I just saw the ad - I think the ad is fair. Obama will NOT have my vote anyway. Americans need to vote someone who share American principles and values. Obama, to me is not that person

Obama hates the working class. He seems to feel that 4.00 a gallon is still not enough to charge for gas, he wants it to be 7.50/gallon

Fair.
Were you aware that Obama was originally against the use of Nuclear energy and only changed his stance after accepting funds from pro-nuclear lobbyists who "educated" him on it's value?
All add attacks on the O are fair game... I think people better start listening more and stop worrying about color, but I guess if you want to live in a socialistic America here your freedoms are swept away ..So be it ! I sure the hell don't
Obama has plenty of energy! Unlike "are you sleeping,brother John" McCain.
Unfair,Obama will help this country an the RNC knows it an thats what they're afaird off.
It is fair . ..
I don't think it's unfair. Obama does have a weaker energy policy.
McCain has proposed lifting the ban on offshore drilling. Obama hasn't.
McCain has a more specific plan regarding nuclear energy to build 45 New Nuclear Power Plants By 2030 and with a goal of constructing 100 plants. I can not find anything about nuclear power on Obama's webpage, though I have seen him mention it with skepticism in the news.
McCain support clean-coal technology and will commit $2 billion annually to clean coal alone. Obama mentions investing in low-emissions coal plants on his webpage but it's grouped in with the same "$150 Billion 10 Years in Clean Energy" proposal. It's not as clear how much of that he would actually put towards clean coal technology since all are grouped together.
McCain has made the very important distinction between ineffective E85 corn ethanol and the more promising cellulosic ethanol, produced from wood, grasses, or the non-edible parts of plants and won't compete with food crops.
I do think it's a fair ad. To tell the truth, neither candidate has a "plan" so far, just lip service and talk. I don't think Obama is going in the right direction by not exploring ways to expand our domestic production of oil AND gas (refineries). Gas fueled cars will be around for a very long time, and as the new "alternative" fuel cars come on line they will be bought by those that can afford them. Lower income peeps will then buy the cast off gas guzzlers and struggle to pay for the gas...to get gas prices down within the next couple of years we need to ACT now. The less dependent on foreign oil we are the stronger our dollar will become. We need alternative energy sources developed AND increased oil production. One last thought: you know what the "smart" oil companies are doing? Putting their profits into developing alternative sources of fuel. BP is one that I know of that is doing this.
