Obama Opens the Door to Offshore Drilling
By Jonathan Weisman
ORLANDO, Fla. — Sen. Barack Obama suggested he could accept an expansion of offshore oil drilling today if it is in a broader package of energy measures that would free the logjam on energy bills in Congress.
"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.

That is, did he ever actually say it was really a bad thing? Everything I ever heard from him simply said it was a distraction and wouldn’t help our problems with foreign oil and gas prices. (Which he still says).
I might be wrong though, it’s not an issue I’ve followed closely.

Obama is pressed on the issue repeatedly on the campaign trail, but he refuses to budge, preferring to take pains to spell out his reasons.

Choose who you are voting for and why you’re voting for them in one sentence
Obama. After having a president who’s touted as the worst president in history, and having a party incumbent who thus far has not rejected any of Bush’s main policies, I could use a little hope and change.
I’m too lazy to vote, it won’t make one bit of difference(I live in NJ so the state will go Democrat no matter what). If I do become bothered to go throw my vote away, I’ll throw it to Barr. But right now 9/10 I won’t bother doing it.

What Is a ‘Windfall’ Profit?
August 4, 2008
The “windfall profits” tax is back, with Barack Obama stumping again to apply it to a handful of big oil companies. Which raises a few questions: What is a “windfall” profit anyway?

Lol at the quiz about tax breaks, isn’t McCains plan to reduce corporation tax to 25% so of course oil companies will benefit but so will every one else, they make it seem it is a specific reduction for oil companies
Also about the leases, why would oil companies pay millions of dollars to lease the land and not explore/develop?
Isn’t that slanderous against Exxon/Mobil?
At the very least, it’s defamation of character, or character assassination. Hell, I wouldn’t want my oil company associated with that dinosaur.
