Well now Obama is saying that we can drill off shore. "IF" this were it in a different country would be hilarious! McCain the " not so closet liberal" was AGAINST further drilling on the Continental Shelf, "UNTIL" the POLITICAL FERVER caused him to start to "rapidly recede" in the polls against Obama. Of course being the "SEASONED POLITICIAN" that McCain is, he simply SWITCHED HORSES, and is now FOR DRILLING.
Well! Taking a lesson from the EXPERIENCED MCCAIN, Obama after receiving much heat from the American people is ALSO "NOW FOR" OFF SHORE DRILLING.
As I said, were this in ANOTHER COUNTRY, it would be quite entertaining but, it is NOT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, it is HERE IN AMERICA.
One faction (the Democrats) is clamoring to SAVE THE PLANET, while the other faction (the Republican conservatives
) is clamoring to vote McCain and SAVE US FROM OBAMA.
Both factions, all the while voting out of FEAR OF THE OTHER.
Both candidates are doing PRECISELY the same thing, which is CATERING TO THE VOTER on what they want to hear, although NEITHER can produce what they claim they can produce.
Want PROOF? Bush has already signed approval to drill, and the Dems went home for VACATION. Now the Republicans made a big issue of this, HOWEVER, when they were in control, there WAS NO OFF SHORE DRILLING ALLOWED THEN EITHER. The Republicans sat on their asses until the POLITICAL CLIMATE "DICTATED" CHANGE.
The sadness of the issue is, that voters CONTINUE TO CLING to these two false prophets, and will vote for one or the other, EXTINGUISHING ANY HOPE OF CHANGE for the future.
One of the chief arguments by some is that one of these LIBERALS "MIGHT" (mite, a little biddy bug on a chicken) "MIGHT" (mite) appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court. A LIBERAL PRESIDENT APPOINTING "CONSERVATIVE " JUDGES? I doubt it. JMO
