Two very well-funded republican groups launched
advertisement assaults on Obama’s work championing green energy causes. They
touted such “facts” as Obama sending billions of dollars over to other nations,
creating jobs in Finland and
in Mexico.
The truth on the matter is that these myths were debunked over two years ago by
fact checking websites. All these ads serve to do with highly emotive
advertising and pictures of the homeless looking forlornly off camera is to
hamper Obama’s attempts at creating a more green, environmentally friendly
America.
The pettiness of short term needs like a four year election
have the possible impact of causing serious harm to long term needs like ending
gasoline dependency in the United
States. While it certainly isn’t wrong for
anyone to try and become president, they are doing so at the expense of real needs
that America
is facing. Attack ads have long been a political favorite in presidential
elections. The problem is when causes like sustainable energy get caught in the
crossfire, a petty name calling campaign starts having very real ramifications
on the United States,
and its potential growth.
Unfortunately, these private campaign companies work without
the official endorsement of their candidate, meaning that the candidates
ultimately responsible for their ads shoulder none of the blame. Considering one
of their attack ads called Obama out for not taking responsibility for his
energy team’s failures, the tactic republicans are currently hiding behind seem
oddly coincidental.
