One of the men asked about "the attacks against the African-American community" by the "same U.S. government that you aspire to lead." He pointed to sub-prime mortgages aimed at black and Latino communities, instances of police profiling, the Jena Six and the slow response to Hurricane Katrina.

a) sub-prime mortgages were perceived as a benefit that counteracted perceived credit-risk based redlining; now everyone pays

b)Jena Six was a gang based assault on a single white kid who was handy, not the perpetrator of the alleged insult, and

c) on Katrina and the Chocolate City: follow the school buses left under water if you want to assign incompetence.

Would that be considered a flip or a flop? I can’t tell.

They’re looking at the numbers.....That’s why the Dems went on vacation....They had to discuss it with Obama. The real problem is....How does Obama get rid of Gore??....Remember, Gore is “CHADDEL”...bought and paid for. Mr. Gore....Watch out for lightening from the Messiah!!

And not just any Republican plans. Go back and read the energy plan that Dick Cheney put together in 2001; the plan that kind of fell to the wayside after 9/11.

I wonder if Cheney passed along some of the details to Obama at a family reunion.

Obama is in a box on this issue. As a Senator, he will eventually have to vote. And either piss off his base or piss off the country.

Dear Obama O’Douche,
rom the day drilling is approved until the day THAT OIL hits the market will be as short as 18 months, and the day Exploration is approved will be the day that prices start falling Fast! Obama O’Douche has no economic nor market sense. He is just parroting more DNC Spande Merde!!
Obama O;Douche isn’t fit to supervise a single garbage truck in his south side neighborhood let alone run a Country!
GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENTS GEORGE BUSH and JOHN McCAIN and OUR GREAT COUNTRY and MAY GOD PROTECT US FROM OSAMA OBAMA HUSSEIN!

How convenient that he didn't think of this a few days ago, when he could have hobnobbed with his fellow Senators and championed offshore drilling.

Obama has such a brilliant mind (for finding ways to avoid hard work.)

"It's also important to recognize if you start drilling now you won't see a drop of oil for ten years"

The Demagogues constantly say this, both about coastal drilling and about ANWR, but is it really an immutable fact? Yes, some big projects may take that long, but surely it is physically possible to drill and bring new supplies online in a lot less than 10 years if the will is there and the right incentives are there?

Maybe there should be strong tax incentives for all new domestic sources???? I tend to think we should have steep tax incentives for ALL domestic energy production b/c we should be ramping up all forms of energy, most especially transportation fuels, that can be produced within USA and send less $$$ to OPEC, etc.

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama said today he would be willing to open Florida's coast for more oil drilling

He is the change we've been waiting for. LOL!

Just as I had predicted weeks ago. Obama is starting to see the writing on the wall and it says, “Drill here, Drill Now, Drill Everywhere. Of course, he will have a major problem with part of his base, the environmental whackos. Oh, what a dilemma.
