Obama Helped Lead Efforts To Pass Amendments That Improved The Bill's Renewable Energy Provisions And Was Singled Out For His Work As A Negotiator On The Energy Bill's Ethanol Provisions. In 2005, Obama passed amendments to the 2005 Energy Policy Act which would double the amount of ethanol used in our gasoline supply by 2012 (from 2 billion to 8 billion gallons); provide a tax credit for the retail purchase of E-85 fuel; and established an applied research program to improve technologies for the commercialization of a combination hybrid/flexible fuel vehicle; or a plug-in hybrid/flexible fuel vehicle.


uhh...sounds to me like he figured that the republican lead congress would continue to push crappy republican legislation... so instead of sitting around and doing nothing by voting no and complaining. He took charge and changed the law for the better.(as much as can be done with the republicans in charge)

Hmm.. sounds like leadership.

(an example: Hillary and the IWR. Hillary claims that she voted for the IWR thinking that the inspectors would get to do their job...yet she voted against the amendment that would have made it a requirement.)
