Oh my.

It's small, but a small start is a start, after all.

Obama: Would back limited offshore drilling
   
Democrat shifts position on issue following attacks by rival McCain

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday he would be willing to support limited additional offshore oil drilling if that's what it takes to enact a comprehensive policy to foster fuel-efficient autos and develop alternate energy sources.

Shifting from his previous opposition to expanded offshore drilling, the Illinois senator told a Florida newspaper he could get behind a compromise with Republicans and oil companies to prevent gridlock over energy.

Republican rival John McCain, who earlier dropped his opposition to offshore drilling, has been criticizing Obama on the stump and in broadcast ads for clinging to his opposition as gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon. Polls indicate these attacks have helped McCain gain ground on Obama.

"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.

1. Oh, Kee-rist!! Can we do the primary again? I can't stand this dude.
   
He's compromising all over the place, making fools of all of us.

I KNEW this was going to happen. DLC all the way.

This is a brand new bonfire, just lit up.

One imagines the reaction of the pomegranate crook Obamaite primitive is going to be typical.

If the DUmmies are as smart as they say they are, then why do they fall for the same political tricks over and over?

5. Funny how the central theme of Obama's primary campaign was the condemnation of Clinton for doing just that.

Nothing surprises me anymore where the flip flopper is concerned. They are living in a fantasy world where Obama is concerned.

You bite your tongue...talking about the Messiah like that. Don't you know he decides whether or not you go to Heaven or Hell?

I guess you must have seen McCain's email today. In it was the video, "The One". Laughed until my sides hurt. It was so funny.

I saw that and laughed.  It sort of fell apart at the end though.  It needs to end on a stronger note.....like maybe showing Obama raising Ann Richards.
