Presidential Candidates Miss the Most Important Issue

摘要

For the past year we have been subjected to a seemingly endless series of Presidential candidate debates. During these debates, a long list of major and minor White House hopefuls outlined their positions on a myriad of issues. Yet, none of them, Democrat or Republican, have shown leadership or advanced any new ideas on the most critical issue facing our nation. The ever-arrogant, watchdog national media, so eager to catch any political misstep, has ignored this obvious failure. Even with oil prices above $100 a barrel, gas prices above $3 a gallon, and the US economy teetering on the brink of recession, the men and woman who would be President have not figured out that energy is the most critical issue of the campaign.
