Biden Bags on McCain Economic Policy

Today, Biden said that John McCain and Sarah Palin had their economic policies upside down. Biden said "Ladies and gentlemen, what more evidence do we need that the Exxon Mobils of the world don't need a tax break? That $4 billion should go to middle class taxpayers, people who need the money. John [McCain] and Gov. [Sarah] Palin have this upside down. They literally have it upside down."

Biden's "slam" on McCain proved to have quite a positive effect on the Democratic supporters and som epotential swing voters using the example of the possible tax break that would be given to an oil company if McCain was elected.

Although the numbers do not lie, McCain accused Obama of being on the side of big oil companies. Obama responded to this by adding figures of what McCain would do if he was elected as the POTUS. McCain brought up the fact that Obama had voted for a renewable energy bill in 2005 that invloved the oil companies. Obama defended himself against McCain's accusation by saying that "given the makeup of congress, it was the best that they could do." It would seem that neither McCain nor Obama wants to take the side of oil companies.
