Barack Obama on Energy

So, I just read a headline from Friday talking about how Obama on Thursday reemphasized his commitment to blocking all off-shore drilling. Then Friday he’s suddenly for it? I see others have posted on this, but how on earth do you account for this kid of shift literally overnight? This is unfortunately just one more example of his lack of leadership in anything to do with the environment. The only thing he ever mentions is “green jobs.” But maybe this will be “sustainable” off-shore drilling? Maybe he can follow up his world tour with a sustainability tour.

Would the answers get 10 points in polls? Question one: If Bush had addressed the offshore oil drilling question 5 years ago, would we be in the mess we are in? Question 2: If we delay drilling for another 5 years, will we fix the problem? These questions and answers should be worth at least 10 polling points and maybe the election.

Thanks for all the responses...you guys rock. We need to make our voices heard. We need to push back and make him retract his decision somehow. People need to ask questions, and get specific answers, otherwise, the rhetoric will be like a beautiful crystal glass with nothing in it....
