Any bets on which talking head will be the first to say it’s our fault?
Obama did better than I thought he would do. He may have been coached better or he felt more comfortable in answering the questions, I don’t know. But he was better than he has been in the past when not using a teleprompter.
McCain was so obviously better than Obama that it explains why Obama does not want a town hall style debate with McCain. McCain showed decisiveness and leadership, while Obama appeared to be both pandering to the audience and trying hard to not offend anyone.
McCain showed leadership and Obama showed his lack of judgment and experience. Obama’s comment of as to when life begins, by saying “it’s above my pay grade” was his worst response. McCain’s comment to the same question, by saying “at conception” was right on target.
Obama can’t handle it and McCain thrives in this kind of interview/debate.
And kudos to YOU for being so dedicated and reliable in organizing this EVery sunday. I really appreciate your efforts!
The Audacity of Nope
Obama’s oil policy.

Since 1981, Congressional appropriations amendments effectively have barred Interior from financing or permitting survey expeditions — particularly and precisely in the 85 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf where oil production and exploration are verboten.
In 2005, Congress mandated new, quintennial inventories, then gave Interior six months and $0.00 to assess how much oil and natural gas undergird the 1.76 billion-acre Outer Continental Shelf — a laughably impossible task.
“They couldn’t even board a research vessel,” explains a congressional staffer who studies these issues. Interior’s “paper inventory,” the aide adds, “examined Canadian and West African coastal data, imagined where those sediments pooled before the Continental Drift, then extrapolated to guesstimate what’s off our Atlantic coast today.”
The resulting document states: “Resource estimates are highly dependent on the current knowledge base, which has not been updated in 20 to 40 years for areas under congressional moratorium. . . . ” Translation: “We have no idea what’s really out there.”
Obama’s “Oil SENSE Act” would repeal the 2005 Energy Policy Act’s authorization of these inventories. Introduced in January 2007, S.115 would leave decision makers with Carter Administration maps drawn with pre-PC technology.
