Interesting figures about oil money per candidate. So, Hillary took over a third MORE in donations yet throws stones at Obama. Gee, I think I'll vote for the guy, Obama, that voted yes on the energy bill that got TAX INCREASES on the oil companies to pay for ALTERNATIVE FUEL EXPANSION! It's hard to believe the media lets her get away with such claims all the while she claims everyone is so biased against her, whine whine whine. The Clintons are like magicians that try to misdirect your attention so you don't see through the illusion.

Always fact check before believing a Clinton claim against Obama! We've had 8 yrs of a lying administration, do you really want to vote the Clintons in for another lying administration?
here's the facts on the energy bill that she voted against and claims Obama was wrong to vote for it. I also saw elsewhere that if they'd tried to increase the taxes past the 300 million mark, the republicans would have vetoed it. Good for the dems that worked with both parties and got it through! http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/politics/15632759/detail.html

According to the Non-Partisan Congressional Research Service, the bill did include $14 billion in subsidies. But the vast majority of that sum, more than $11 billion, went to nuclear power, solar and wind power, clean coal technology and hybrid cars. The oil and gas industry got $2.6 billion in subsidies, but that total was offset by $2.9 billion in tax increases. The bottom line was that there was a $300 million tax increase for the oil and gas industry as a whole and even bigger tax hike for refiners, which was $1.3 billion. And that's hardly a giveaway.

A big reason Obama supported the bill was the subsidies for ethanol, a fuel that is made from corn. Of course, Illinois is a state that produces lots of corn.

For the truth, rather than the Clinton distortionn, check out this site:

It's only an issue if the media does her dirty work without checking the facts. Here are two excerpts in case you don't want to go to the link.
In most legislatures, lawmakers vote either "yes" or "no" on bills, but in Illinois, senators and representatives can hit a third button for a "present" vote. Now that quirk -- not unique to Illinois -- has sparked heated exchanges among Democrats vying for president.
But Obama's former colleagues who still serve in the Illinois Capitol say that the attacks are off-base and that either Obama's opponents don't understand how things work in Springfield or they are deliberately distorting his record.
He should address this soon so it doesn't blow up and become an issue.
