Its not a flip at all.
Obama is “talking the talk” but he didn’t press his own party people to “walk the walk” and stay in session to get things done.
McCain and the GOP can’t let him off the hook. The no-drill position is a loser, and without actual action by Obama to get it done its only meaningless words. Obama certainly has the influence to get Pelosi and Reid to move on energy but has chosen not to.
You got it ass backwards.
Pelosi and Reid have been waiting on the messiah to move his position from no drilling to nuanced drilling
They have all their hopes and dreams on him winning in November so they cannot take a position as important as drilling if he is not for it. They can't leave him flapping in the breeze being the complete suit he is.
Now that he has "flipped" they can come back in November with a Obama plan to drill, which will be the same position as McCain plan except Obama will be the hero
