Here something he said yesterday about energy:

Like George Bush and Dick Cheney before him, [John McCain] sees more drilling as the answer to all of our energy problems, and like them, he’s found a receptive audience in the very same oil companies that have blocked our progress for so long.

I could respect Barack Obama if he complained about oil companies with an argument that makes sense. How exactly have oil companies “blocked out progress for so long”? Have they sold gasoline that was too cheap so other sources of oil didn’t develop? Did they sell a product that was so beguiling that people bought trillions of dollars worth of it?

What exactly are these nefarious oil companies doing?
