Pay no attention when I'm a hypocrite

Critical of McCain, Obama quiet on own energy vote - Yahoo! News:
"Obama himself voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production, a measure Cheney played a major role in developing. McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry.

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds, said, 'Barack Obama is opposed to offshore drilling and is also opposed to admitting that he voted for the same corporate giveaways for Big Oil that he's campaigning against today.'"
