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.

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.

Sen. said Saturday he is simply acting pragmatically in softening his opposition to additional oil drilling along the nation’s coastline, a shift Republicans say shows he is calculating and out of touch with voters.
Speaking in Florida, Obama insisted he still generally opposes additional drilling as his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, once did as well but would be willing to support it as part of a new bipartisan energy proposal that seeks to lessen dependence on foreign oil.
