American Election and Fuel Tax Rebate

As an Australian, I am a spectator of the US election process. From this distance, Obama is the most attractive candidate on many levels.

No youngster myself, I am bemused by the thought of the 71 year old John McCain seeking this most aging of jobs. His suggestion that one solution to rising fuel prices is to rebate fuel taxes for a period gives rise to astonishment. And I’m disappointed that Hillary Clinton has said “me too” and also supports the rebate.

I like this quote from Obama: “This isn’t an idea designed to get you through the summer, it’s an idea designed to get them through an election.”

It is extremely disappointing that the World’s most influential nation could be lead for another four years by someone whose environmental commitment is no better than that of George W Bush.
