Obama talks about reviving economy The Elkhart Truth | August 07, 2008 Sen. Barack Obama outlined his energy and economic policy in response to an audience question about tough economic times in the Elkhart area. In the short-term, Obama said an additional round of economic stimulus checks are needed. He also said the government should invest in "fast-track" infrastructure, including roads, schools, sewer lines and bridges. Obama touts energy plan, $1,000 tax rebate, at Ohio stop The Toledo Blade | August 06, 2008 Presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama Tuesday vowed to break America’s “addiction’’ to foreign oil over the next 10 years, but in the meantime he wants a $1,000-per-person tax rebate to help consumers feed their habit. As his Republican opponent, John McCain, toured the Fermi 2 plant near Monroe to call attention to his plan to construct as many as 45 new power plants by 2030, Mr. Obama used a pair of northeastern events to voice support for his tax credit and characterize the Arizona senator’s plan to increase offshore drilling as just an extension of President Bush’s policies. Obama pitches energy plan in Northeast Ohio The Akron Beacon | August 05, 2008 Sen. Barack Obama continued presenting his proposal for the nation's energy crisis this morning at the Austintown Fitch High School gymnasium. A day after unveiling his ''New Energy for America'' plan in Lansing, Mich., the Democratic presidential hopeful told an Ohio crowd of more than 2,500 that the United States got to the point of $4-a-gallon gasoline because of our dependence on foreign oil. Obama changes focus to domestic issues The Quad City Times | August 01, 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama touted his energy policies here today, arguing that drilling offshore won’t produce any oil for at least 10 years. He also accused rival John McCain of doing the bidding of oil companies that are making record profits. Obama held a town hall meeting here and also visited victims of the June flooding as he set about refocusing his campaign on domestic issues in the wake of a much-publicized tour of Europe. Obama wants new direction on energy The Springfield News-Leader | July 31, 2008 Barack Obama laid out his opposition to opening up American land and waterways to more drilling for oil at a rally in Springfield on Wednesday. The presumed Democratic nominee said authorizing oil companies to drill for more domestic oil and gas in Alaska and off coastal shores will not solve the country's energy crisis. "The oil companies right now have 68 million acres of leases that they are not using," Obama told an energized crowd of 1,550 packed into the Glendale High School gymnasium. |

Obama Links Economy to Foreign Policy The Washington Post | July 28, 2008 Ahead of a week of campaign appearances focused on the economy, Sen. Barack Obama suggested Sunday that there is a domestic economic benefit to improved U.S. relations with the rest of the world."When you think about the big problems we face here at home, they're connected to the problems we face abroad," Obama said before an audience of several hundred here at the quadrennial "Unity: Journalists of Color" conference. Obama urges Iran to accept EU nuke proposal The Associated Press | July 25, 2008 Democrat Barack Obama said Friday that Iran should promptly accept an international call to freeze its uranium enrichment program, which some nations see as a potential step toward obtaining nuclear weapons. The presidential candidate met with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris, where they discussed Iran, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, climate change and other issues. Speaking later at a news conference, Obama said Iran should accept the proposals made by Sarkozy and other Western leaders. Obama Meets With Israeli and Palestinian Leaders The New York Times | July 24, 2008 With a fanfare typically orchestrated for a visiting head of state, Senator Barack Obama dashed through a series of meetings with leaders on both sides of the Middle East conflict on Wednesday, pledging to protect Israel and prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Mr. Obama, who said he hoped his appearance here would open the door to a stronger bond with Jewish voters at home, pledged that if elected president he would not pressure Israel to accept concessions with Palestinians that would compromise security for Israelis. Obama Ends Mideast Swing With Vow to Back Israel, Peace Talks The Washington Post | July 24, 2008 Sen. Barack Obama stepped gingerly through the intractable politics of the Middle East on Wednesday, offering resolute support for Israel's security, warning that Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons would be a "game-changing" event for the world, and pledging to make peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians one of his highest priorities if he becomes president. |
