Those of us not in states with upcoming primaries (Penn., N.C., Ind., I forget the rest until Puerto Rico) don't get to see what the candidates are putting out there, what our campaign contributions are paying for.
This video is Obama promising action on oil companies and energy independence.
To be fair, the Clinton campaign immediately fired across the bow, challenging his assertion that he does not take money from the industry. But that's not exactly the way he expresses it.
In fact, he is the only candidate who does not take money from PACs (political action committees) or federal lobbyists.
The Clintons claim he got $160,000 from the industry.
What's true. Obama takes individual donations from people who work in the industry, but not lobbyists.
You decide if that's important.
