   *  Obama has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who work for companies in the oil and gas industry and their spouses.

    * Two of Obama's bundlers are top executives at oil companies and are listed on his Web site as raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for the presidential hopeful.

Noooooooo!!
There has to be a way out of this gridlock!  I had been wondering why the Obama campaign seems to avoid mentioning global warming and the benefits of switching to alternatives.

If Obama would challenge the nation to make the energy revolution happen, to make the switch to solar wind and geothermal a national priority, he would be proposing a hopeful positive course of action, rather than just responding to the Republican dogma.

The benefits would include lots of great jobs stimulating the economy, improved international security, investment in the 20% to 30% growth of alternative energy, and action to lessen the   escalating extreme weather, floods, fires, droughts and other catastrophes.

The question is not how will we survive without oil. The question is how wonderful will it be to get solar power on every roof, geothermal and wind providing all the electricity we can use, even for plugg-in cars.  With American ingenuity and industry powering this transition we could the wind out of the  sails and put it behind the windmills and still have some oil left to make the plastic parts of windmills!

To paraphrase (it may be a direct quote, but I'm not looking it up) Douglas Adams from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,

"Anyone able to get themselves elected president should on no account be allowed to have the job."
