(:21) Barack Obama "Tires," "There are things you can do individually to save energy. Making sure your tires are properly inflated. Simple thing. But we could save all the oil they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune ups? You can actually save just as much!"
• (:30) Obama's "Pocket Ad" – "Every time you fill your tank, the oil companies fill their pockets. Now Big Oil's filling John McCain's campaign with 2 million dollars in contributions. Because instead of taxing their windfall profits to help drivers, McCain wants to give them another 4 billion in tax breaks. After one president in the pocket of big oil… We can't afford another. Barack Obama… A windfall profits tax on big oil to give families a thousand dollar rebate. A president who'll stand up for you."
(:20) Barack Obama "Drilling," speaking in Lansing, MI backpedaling on what he previously said about offshore drilling- now wanting to include a limited amount in a comprehensive plan.
