Energetic Campaigning
 

"Barack Obama on Monday called for tapping into strategic oil reserves as part of his plan to provide relief from high gas prices. Obama has previously said he was opposed to using the strategic reserves, but on Monday he proposed selling 70 million barrels of oil from the reserves in order to lower gas prices. Speaking before a crowd in Lansing, Michigan, the senator from Illinois said the country's "addiction to oil … is one of the most dangerous and urgent threats this nation has ever faced." [CNN]

Why I hate politicians. I wish our leaders would put our future in mind and push for alternative energy. Obama (as well as all the other candidates) also supports the American Coalition for Clean Coal. Absolute rubbish. "Clean Coal"… that has to be the biggest oxymoron ever.

Oil may be the reason this country starts WWIII.

No hate here. American's have been feeling the crunch at the wheel for some time. It's gonna take decades b/f we can solely rely on alternative energy. There are two many lobbyists in DC to maintain the status quo of oil and coal as American's energy source.

I think America had it's hey day in the fifties.

So we cure this addiction by reducing the price of the drug.

There ya go. Obama, who never really was anywhere left, is obviously moving to the middle. Personally, I think he was always there, but many people (still) like to imagine there's something progressive about this man (because he doesn't talk like an imbecile and is not white, he must be progressive lol) and are going to keep on denying the obvious. The only difference between Republicans and Demcrats is the degree of open religiousness. As presidents, they're all the same imperialists.
