"My interest is in making sure we've got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices," Obama said in an interview with The Palm Beach Post.

"If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage â?? I don't want to be so rigid that we can't get something done."

Translation.....I know I'm pissing on the boots of my far left enviromentalists but hey, read the last line. The oil companies will never be able to live under the dems realm of "careful, well thought-out drilling strategy".

"Like all compromises, it also includes steps that I haven't always supported," Obama conceded. "I remain skeptical that new offshore drilling will bring down gas prices in the short-term or significantly reduce our oil dependence in the long-term, though I do welcome the establishment of a process that will allow us to make future drilling decisions based on science and fact."

Translation.....Hey, McCain is killing me at the polls and I need to move on this one. I'll just put it across in the same manner as I did with the Iraqi surge; it won't work but go for it!

From Obama's site:
Point number two: we should just replace the use of oil altogether as America's fuel of choice. This doesn't mean singing the praises of ethanol, and hoping that it finds its way into our fuel supply on its own. It means taking some serious steps now to put a national bio-fuel infrastructure into place.

-Rev. Wright....Crazy ol' Uncle.......screw that ol' racist!

-Trinity Church.....Can't leave my people.....Goodbye suckers!

-FISA: Will filibuster......VOTED yes!

-Iraq withdrawl: Immediate withdrawl concluded in 16 months......depending on situation on the ground now!

-Off-Shore drilling.....Will do NO GOOD and won't support it......hey, lets give it a shot!

Any other issues you dems feel like being fucked over on? Is this what was meant by "Change"? Sure looks like the politics of old to me.

Have a good one!:s4:
Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . Obama likely to Back Offshore Drilling Obama shifts, says he may back offshore drilling - Yahoo! News Wow... So Obama suddenly changed to a similar stance to the conservative base. Saying he will consider backing offshore drilling after he strongly opposed it. What will his voter base think about this? He tries to take the highroad and say he's wanting to stop the gridlock in congress but it's HIS party that is blocking this. Now you see here he's trying to take credit for being more mature, above it all... better than the Rating: 5
