SP4: Go Figure....Aug 4th, 2008 - 21:15:16

...if we use 16 million barrels a day, and we import 70% of that, we'd have to reduce our consuption 1.12 million bbls a DAY, EACH year for TEN years, with no gorwth in the figure.

This would mean adding an ANWR to our output (800,000 bbls DAILY,)EACH year, for 10 years!

Or

doubling ethanol output annually for...5(?) years?!

Obama counts on you not knowing this. It is also a glaring statement on how little he actually grasps the issue.

Obama has jumped the shark.Aug 5th, 2008 - 00:22:06

I 'call for' a gorilla to parachute out of an asteroid and hand me a zillion dollars in gold.

Gee, I had as much effect as Obama calling for everything under the sun, and then calling for the opposite in a few hours.

I call for Barack Obama to shut his pie hole.

You say: 'Our Nation, our Homeland has been sold, raped, and ravaged by many outsiders and insider traitors...'

Outsiders??????
Sorry, but it was all home-grown.
The people who raped, ravaged and ruined your country
were all your own.

McCain surrogates contended on the Sunday news program that the Arizona Republican's turn toward drilling, which he had once OPPOSED, showed how McCain would respond decisively to a crisis??? And when Obama changes his mind, he's called a flip flopper - go figure!

SP4: Maybe, but the difference is...Aug 6th, 2008 - 14:56:50

...but the de facto position of MCCains party is to back domestic drilling. MCCain is simply embracing his own parites position.

This means he would actually go forward, were he to be President, because he would need that parties support.

Obama on the other hand, mouths 'compromise' on drilling, in a party completely opposed to it. This 'compromise' would last exactly one second after he is inagurated and then THAT would be the last of it for four years.

Is mCCain a flip-flopper? Perhaps, but even Bush flipped on this one.

Wondering..........Aug 6th, 2008 - 16:50:01

about the fact that it's reported there are many drilling sites that have been approved but aren't used. More study and development needs to be done on vehicles that use less or no regular fuel, which would make more sense than the constant back and forth on drilling sites, no drilling sites, dependency on foreign oil - on and on.

I think stopping dependency on foreign oil is very possible. As a matter of fact countries in South America (countries that the United States would say are much more behind in technology than they are) have been using various technologies to power their lifestyles. Only you ignorant Americans with your vast intelligence can't see that your own government is screwing you over and have been screwing you over for these Oil Companies for the decades. Barack Obama is trying to do something that has never been done before and for your own good I might add. Anyway, as old King Louis IV used to say, 'We shall see.'
