Now that Obama realizes that American people REALLY favor offshore drilling, he is supporting offshore drilling as part of a comprehensive energy policy. But he says he will never let drilling be the end all be all solution. Gee Obama, have you not been listening to McCain and other Republicans whom have said that they want drilling to be part of the solution, which also includes alternative energy sources? So Obama is "changing" his position now, and that's great, because I think the American people will benefit from his change in position.
Irony is that Obama is now proclaiming that this "wasn't really a new position."
EHH???
After harping at McCain for weeks about how McCain flip-flopped on offshore drilling for political expediency, and how offshore drilling is a gimmick (just like gas tax holiday), and how offshore drilling will not help lower gas prices "yesterday, today, or tomorrow," Obama has the audacity to say that supporting offshore drilling is NOT a new position of his??? Obama clearly has some sort of mental issue where he just cannot allow himself to say that he changed his position on any issue -- gun control, Rev. Wright, gay marriage, public financing, war in Iraq, and now offshore drilling. While Obama uses the word "change" as his campaign standard, clearly, Obama fears the word change, whether the change is brought about by a belief that he is doing the right thing, or because of political expediency.
