Country faces 'urgent moral challenge' says Obama

Sen. Barack Obama accused the Bush administration of putting the interests of the oil industry ahead of the public's.

Obama expressed he would like to see an increase in renewable energy, lower carbon in fuels and increase fuel efficiency of cars.

"We've got to have a president in the White House who sets bold targets and sets broad goals and isn't intimidated by the barriers and the roadblocks and isn't driven by those who already have an investment in the status quo - somebody who can overcome the lobby campaign trail as the only candidate experienced enough to make a change in Washington," Obama said.
