September 25th, 2008 · Comments Off on McCain: Failing his own “test”?

Both Barack Obama and campaign-suspended John McCain spoke at a session of the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting.  Some have already called John McCain’s comments “the height of hypocrisy.”  Reading McCain’s speech and considering John McCain’s spinning out of control flip-flopping on energy and global warming issues over the past year, it is hard to disagree […]

Green Stimulus would be worth some real green

September 12th, 2008 · 3 Comments
