T. Boone Selling Energy Plan to Presidential Candidates

USA Today -- Obama Discusses Energy Issues With Pickens

What can I say they hasn't been said earlier?

Money buys you attention, as is evident with T. Boone Pickens meeting with both presidential candidates to push the Pickens Plan. To his credit, the Pickens Plan is a good short term solution to cut America's reliance on foreign oil, but it doesn't sit right that the salesman will reap huge profits if the Pickens Plan is implemented as is. I am fairly certain, however, that neither candidate seeks to be seen as buddy-buddy with the man who helped give W his second term.
