Governator Aide: McCain’s Climate Plan Gets A Big Fat ‘F’


Thinkprogress:

Last week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) bragged about his environmental record while campaigning in California. He insisted that reigning in greenhouse gas emissions “should be a big issue for all of us,” and insinuated that he was stronger on the environment than his Democratic opponents:


“I don’t know what their position is because I haven’t seen them show any particular commitment in the U.S. Senate or elsewhere” on climate change, he told reporters. “I have proposed legislation and fought for amendments.”


Yet just today, McClatchy reports that the climate aide to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) — who endorsed McCain to much fanfare in Feburary — gave McCain a flunking grade on his environmental plans:


Terry Tamminen, an adviser on energy and environmental policy to California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, looked at what the presidential candidates have said they’d do and graded them: She gave Clinton and Obama B’s, but McCain got an F because he hasn’t put out a specific plan.

McCain knows nothing about Climate change, Economy, War and even the Bible. If Lieberman isn't there to tell him who knows what will come out of his mouth. He is showing his age and declining health condition. Maybe that's why Mitt doesn't mine being VP, in a short time he will be President.
