Script of "Full-Nelson" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Big oil companies have our economy and politics in a choke hold. They are getting billions from the government, raking in record profits, while we pay more and more for gas.

John McCain's answer: another $4 billion giveaway to Big Oil.

(Text on screen: Center for American Progress, 06/18/2008)

But Barack Obama has a plan that breaks the grip of Big Oil. It invests in clean energy options and gives families energy tax rebates.
