Obama criticized McCain's somewhat muddled energy policy, saying, among other things, that a $300 million prize fund to help give more incentive to companies to develop new energy sources and such is a waste because when JFK promised to put a man on the moon, he didn't just put out a prize, he organized the government to reach his goal.

Of course there's a salient point he neglected to mention. We are not still on the moon, and haven't been for decades. Based on his own analogy, I guess what Obama really wants is to put the power of the US government behind a short term solution that will be left in the dustbin of history inside of 10 years. McCain seems to be thinking longer term. But they are both pathetic so far.
