Obama is now throwing out every and any scheme his puppet masters can think of to solve our energy crisis = besides the inane “inflate your tires = it could save as much as all the oil that would be drilled” = then he says he'll take all the profits of the oil companies and give it out to everyone - $500 and $1,000... (Buying voters) and then says he could support of shore drilling/
Questions: How can he take the profits of the oil companies without Socializing/taking over the oil companies, ala Marxism.

and - If he takes their profits, where are they going to get the money to develop new off shore drilling.

Where does Obama stand on the issues reparations?

From the article, an excellent list for use with friends caught up in the politics of "hope:"

/

After all, he's the candidate of the future, not the past; of "hope," not experience. Track records are a "distraction," to use one of Obama's favorite words.

If you buy Obama's in-the-moment brand of politics, it doesn't really matter if he once opposed offshore oil drilling but now supports it when it's more popular.

Or that he switched to Bush's side on protecting phone companies from liability for domestic wiretapping.

Or that he talks protectionism, with a wink and nod to trading partners that he's not really serious.

Or that he broke a promise to accept public campaign funding and its limits, once he found that he didn't need the money.

What he asks is that you look past all these inconsistencies and trust that he will do the right thing once elected, whatever the right thing happens to be at that time.

Obama is nothing if not smooth in following the polls and tailoring his message to a precise time, place and audience. It's hard to run on the issues against someone like that. Catch him in an unpopular position and he'll just change it.

But if he carries this flexibility too far, the American people may decide they don't really know Obama and don't want to entrust their government to him.
