So when he announces that he supports making things good, he is being consistent. QED.

will make it harder to throw people and positions under it, thus making his campaign lose momentum.

Grandma doesn’t mind, however/

Maybe we’re being too harsh about the inconsistency thing. Obama consistently:

1. Changes his stance on important issues when polls indicate his previous stance has become unpopular. He is so consistent about doing this that he sometimes changes his positions on the same issue multiple times.

2. Denies that he has changed his position at all.

3. Offers no rationale for the change from his previous position that shows why he changed his mind.

4. Changes his position towards the end of the week, often Fridays, when there will be less news coverage of it. Also, he seems to change more often when there are other big news items going on, (such as other changes of positions on key issues). This time he’s paired the drilling change with reneging on his commitment to at least 1 town hall with McCain.

Ok say I take “…there has been constructive conversations between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate…”
and I let it just drift on by without saying all that I COULD, both comedic and dramatic. Just ignore it outright. ( I know it’s extremely tempting but please
bear with me.)

Now, the question I am left with, laying right there in front of me…IMPOSSIBLE to ignore, is, Senator Obama, given your campaigning for the job of President when have you actually BEEN in Washington to take part in any of theses so-called “constructive” conversations about energy policy? Where you networking with your “peeps” at home here while holding your revival and giving your sermon in Germany? Maybe that’s why you were too busy to visit our wounded soldier’s. It would have been such a sacrifice for you to delay or cancel your shopping trip and visit those who have sacrificed parts of their bodies and minds at the behest of their Commander in Chief….the very job
you feel you are destined to have.
Was the shopping trip successful? Did you find that first edition Mein Kampf
you wanted?

Barry must be borrowing Bill Clinton’s asbestos slacks or he’d be feeling the heat right about now.

“I made a general point about the fact that we need to provide the American people some relief and that there has been constructive conversations between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate on this issue,” he said during a press conference in Cape Canaveral.

I laughed. Then I became sad, because I realized Obama honestly belives that there has been a constructive debate from Democrats.

They will no longer be able to say he changed his position, because somewhere he’ll be able to pull out a quote that shows he was for/against a particular issue all along.

Obama says here that he wants to lower gas prices. And you’re saying that he said before that he didn’t want to lower prices? When did he say that before?

Obama says here that he wants to lower gas prices. And you’re saying that he said before that he didn’t want to lower prices? When did he say that before?

Obama says here that he wants to lower gas prices. And you’re saying that he said before that he didn’t want to lower prices? When did he say that before?

his ideas! After all, he has finally agreed to lower prices by drilling…so what’s the fuss? In another few days, he will be right of McCain… Heh, all that we could hope for… and more…

That’s a fundamental federalist principle that I have. The states should decide what to do with their assets… if the states and others want to have drilling off their coast, such as Louisiana does, then that’s fine with me. We’re doing a great deal off Louisiana. The people of California don’t want to and, as a federalist, I will respect that, as well.

Guess who said that?

Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to effectively give away in trust our offshore exclusive economic zone by preventing any current offshore development. Under the 1982 United Nations Law of the Seas Convention the US has an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles and mineral seabed rights up to 350 nautical miles extending along the Continental shelf. A nautical mile is 6080 feet so our exclusive economic zone extends about 240 miles and mineral seabed rights extend 420 miles. The US has the world’s largest offshore exclusive economic zone totaling 4.4 million square miles. In comparison, the total land area of the United States is only 3.4 million square miles. Because we have the world’s largest offshore coastline which is twenty-five percent greater than our land area, it only makes common sense that we exploit our offshore resources to achieve our energy independence.

The best way to effectively exploit our offshore resources and really help the average American is to divide up the 4.4 million square miles of US offshore economic zone among the 218 million Americans adults who are 18 years and older according to the 2003 US census. Because a square mile equals 640 acres, there would be 2.816 billion offshore acres to be divided among the 218 million American adults. Every adult in the US would be entitled to 12.8 acres. This would be a takeoff from the forty acres and a mule theme except it would be offshore. A lottery could be set up to randomly assign 12.8 acres to every American. The resulting lottery would create ten of thousands of instant American millionaires whose acreage abuts known contiguous offshore oil fields. A market to buy and sell acreage rights could be created which would put money into the pockets of those who acreage contains unknown oil potential. Turning over the acreage to ordinary Americans to collect leasing revenues and royalty rights will empower Americans and stimulate the economy. We do not need the Department of Interior and politicians to argue over the next fours which tracts can be leased and have that money going into the general treasury. Give the land to every American and they can expeditiously see to the leasing of the land. Limousine liberals and wacko environmentalists can finally keep their mouths shut and instead use their own checkbooks to buy up acreage and prevent development if they choose with the acreage they buy from ordinary Americans. Let Obama and the Democrats tell the American people that they are better trustees of the offshore land and that each American is not entitled and should not profit from their 12.8 acres of offshore land. Leasing and royalty payments are not insignifcant even for small acreage. An example is east of Fort Worth Texas where natural gas drilling companies are paying 25 percent royalties and $3000 leasing payments to owners of quarter acre homes for natural gas drilling rights under their homes.

Two weeks ago this was the centerpiece of Obama’s energy policy. It would be interesting to find out by what mechanism Barack expects a tax on profits to translate to lower gasoline prices.

this a few weeks ago as I predict and announce the rising of each day’s Sun in the east.

Most here said Obama was too tied to the greenie money.

I said that the demand from We the People would make it so.

I said this about McCain before he flipped and the gang of ten before they did on Friday.

And the dems will flip before October ends.

I make predictions before they are “easy.”

and get them right

just saying

I welcome prognostication accountability!

Someone has to promote Cockstradamus. No one else but me applied for the job.

I am building the resume and hoping to cash in. Nostradamus made prections too long term to benefit from.
