He is doing the right thing for the benefit of the country, though it is against his personal beliefs. That is leadership - putting one's personal beliefs aside for the betterment of the whole.

I think it's a convenient fiction because he's a Republican and there's that stereotype. Obama doesn't favor tax cuts for any company, oil or not. He tends toward confiscatory taxes and government control of every business. But he's always been like that, so it's not news I suppose. I don't see McCain as in the pocket of Big Oil.

You're certainly stretching credibility with that statement. Also, you say that their energy proposals are the same. Well, they have some similarities because it's not like they can create different alt energy sources, but where they differ is when it comes to corporate tax cuts. McCain favors more for Big Oil, and Obama doesn't. Those are just the facts. Call Obama a hack if you wish, but this commercial wasn't hacky, just negative in tone.
