Once again the "Ultra-Liberal" of the left dons his flip-flops. WHAT a surprise!
This isn't called changing one's mind.......it's called going with the flow of public opinion. Obama is quickly realizing that his radical ways and leftist ideas are really only flying with a select croud....the truly uneducated and those who believe several thousand studio hours equals some certificate to broadcast what's "good for the country" to the public. (Hollywood). That leaves quite a crowd; those known generally as "grass roots America," and McCain is very quickly closing in on, if not surpassing (according to a few polls) the messiah himself.
"We can't drill our way out of the problems we're facing," he said, tapping the podium for emphasis. (June 20th, 2008, Fox News)
"Barack Obama thinks the U.S. should tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to alleviate high gas prices." (August 4th, 2008, Fox News)
Ok, so will someone please explain to me how this works......one day a bigger supply of oil would not help us out of this problem, and the next day, "The campaign today said Obama now believes that the current oil prices constitute the same affect as an emergency" and he now says that we should tap into our strategic oil reserve. How does this work?? How is pulling a few barrels of oil out of our reserve any bit different than DRILLING for the billons of barrels that we have at our disposal at a pinpoint of land (2,000 acres out of millions, to be exact) that we have in ANWR and the thousands of miles of stretches of offshore that we have available to us far beyond the visibility of ANY enviromentalist wacko walking the beaches in ultra-liberal California or Florida...etc. Even if the visual aspect doesn't play in to their opposing the offshore drilling, for crying out loud, as if Katrina wasn't enough proof that those rigs are spillproof! The largest, most destructive hurricane that area has possibly EVER seen, and not a drop spilled into the pristine waters off the shores of our southern states.
The point is, (going back to my original subject) Obama is ridiculous if he thinks the American people are dumb enough to not catch his ever growing list of flip-flops. They are (his interesting attempts at moving towards the middle), at every turn, becoming more and more blatent and more and more obvious! It is as if he isn't even trying to cover up the fact that he and his campaign hold (on average) 2-4 different positions on every issue! Obama is trying to bring extremism to this country....and is quickly failing. This is obvious when one considers the plain and simple fact that IF his leftist extremism was working in his obvious goal of turning the United States into the newest member of the "countries that tried socialism/communism/facism and failed" club, then why is he now scrambling to retract his words in such a way that he DOESN'T appear to be a bumbling bafoon in order to move towards the center and attract that "grass roots America" crowd he thought he had in the bag? It is not because America is not ready for this new radical ideas; it is not that they are being dooped by the media (au contrair......if anything, the media is trying to doop Joe Public into thinking Barack is "change we can believe in"); but rather it is the plain and simple fact that this country was built on certain ideals; ideals that Obama's policies will all but erase; ideals such as "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness".......this he would only agree to as long as it said "Life, Liberty, as long as their pursuit of happiness is approved by me" Sheesh.
