Comments on: Obama Seeks To Reintroduce Himself

Washington Post: Presumptive Dem Nominee Moves To Shape Campaign, Answer Questions About His Biography

[beastof70]

Yesterday we saw Chris Dodd, the Democrat Senator in charge of Banking and some other Democrat Senator in charge of Budget, and Tax Code caught red handed taking cash for favors from Countrywide and others such companies involved in this Home Mortgage tax payer funded bail out.

Fast forward to today and we now see OsamaObama has been caught with this hand in the cookie jar of big ethanol producers as he continues to advocate higher fuel prices.

Hey OsamaObama....Will that "Wind Fall Profits" tax include ethanol????

What''s this you Democrat Santors are telling us Americans...

"Go drill ourselves?!?!?"

And the best they have is some former GOP Senator supposedly caught tapping his toe in a mens room stall, and Cheney who used to work for an oil well servicing company??

DDDDDDDDuuuuuuuhhhhhhh???

Indeed, as Taylor pointed out and as a number of independent studies have emphasized, there are a host of LOOPHOLES, COSTS, DELAYS and UNCERTAINTIES that make OFFSHORE DRILLING far from a SURE SOIL BOOM.

There is a 5-Year Waiting Period just to LEASE LAND for DRILLING, and even MORE TIME on top of that to get a CONTRAC FOR THE OIL RIGS.

The American Petroleum Institute recently acknowledged that there is a dearth of equipment to drill on the land and coasts that are already accessible.

And depending on the size of the station being built, and the possibility that OIL MAY NOT BE FOUND IMMEDIATELY , it could be upwards of 10 YEARS before crude is even Brought to the Surface.

To be fair, McCain and his aides have publicly stated that in this battle, as well during his press for a temporary gas tax holiday, the Senator was not casting his lot with the economists.

And in a moment of sincerity, a senior adviser to the Arizona Republican,Douglas Holtz-Eakin, acknowledged that ...

Note: New Offshore Drilling Wouldn''t have an Immediate Effect on Gas Prices.

In fact, three weeks before he came out in support of Drilling, the Senator himself.

Ooffshore Resources: "Would take Years to Develop."

Last week, Sen. John McCain reversed his longstanding opposition to offshore drilling. The Arizona Senator and his campaign surrogates framed the move as a much-needed effort to combat energy costs in the wake of record high gas prices - political action to Sen. Barack Obama''s inaction.

But the assertion that offshore drilling could have an impact on oil prices by placating oil speculators is itself a contested proposition.

And some analysts insist that it is wishful thinking that the market would suddenly perk up because of the prospect of more supply.


The Energy Information Administration estimated that oil from these sites would hit the market around 2017 and peak around 2027.

Rushing the process would likely only result in less supply. "The faster we try to drain the less efficient the drainage," said Dr. Ralph Byrns, Professor of Economics at UNC-Chapel Hill.

"If we drain it dry and still get 14 billion barrels of oil [the President has suggested 18 billion], that itself would still take (20 years)"

(CBS/ AP) America remains a nation of believers, but a new survey finds most Americans don''t feel their religion is the only way to eternal life - even if their faith tradition teaches otherwise.

The findings, revealed Monday in a survey of 35,000 adults, can either be taken as a positive sign of growing religious tolerance, or disturbing evidence that Americans dismiss or don''t know fundamental teachings of their own faiths.

Among the more startling numbers in the survey, conducted last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life: 57 percent of evangelical church attenders said they believe many religions can lead to eternal life, in conflict with traditional evangelical teaching.

In all, 70 percent of Americans with a religious affiliation shared that view, and 68 percent said there is more than one true way to interpret the teachings of their own religion.

"The survey shows religion in America is, indeed, 3,000 miles wide and only three inches deep," said D. Michael Lindsay, a Rice University sociologist of religion.

"There''s a growing pluralistic impulse toward tolerance and that is having theological consequences," he said.

Obama-nomics would slow job creation to a stand still, innovation, improvements and originality and speculation and investment just when it''s needed most by our country in a recession and heading for a depression. I know that Obama flip-flops and says one thing today and another thing tomorrow but he will probably keep his word on raising taxes because that has been the only clear issue of his campaign to date---higher taxes, bigger government.

"He has flip flopped more than any other,"

except for McCain

"does not know anything about foreign policy,"

Obama Seeks To Reintroduce Himself

Obama Seeks To Reinvent Himself....AGAIN!

[jack3213]

Obama is neither experianced or qualified. He has flip flopped more than any other, has skewed the Bible, wants to increase taxes in an unstable economy, does not know anything about foreign policy, has not been to Iraq in many years, will put this country at risk, and will not win simply because Ameica does NOT need a manipulative liar again.
