Lieberman skeptical of Obama drilling stance

If Nancy Pelosi's flagship issue is to relieve us of dependency on foreign energy, her flagship has run aground. She simply does not want to lose legislative control over U.S. businesses. Obama's plan with regard to windfall profits is simply nationalizing the oil industry and is socialist in that HE wants to determine to distribute the wealth of the nation. After oil it will be corporations, after corporations, small business and after small business, personal income. None of them have a plan to transition off of 100 years of optimized carbon based energy systems. Alternative systems, their infrastructure and their capacity are NOT there. Forcing people to shift is elitist and ludicrous if the system will not support it and capitalizing on fear through offering carbon credits is an opportunistic scam as well as another tax plan because it will not reduce carbon emissions. (Financial Times of London) The Congress needs to give us a legitimate plan based on real science and real mathematics without politics. We need economic and energy stability first (carbon or otherwise) and then transition. Instead the Democrats offer government control.

Nobama said that the only way he would tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is in an emergency. I guess he sees his plummeting poll numbers as an emergency. This empty suit chameleon is a joke and I am glad to see Americans finally catching up to this loony liberal. Republicans, go for the shutdown because most voters are tuned into the truth about Democrats. This includes the wicked witch of the west (Pelosi from sanctuary city) and that bought off hack from Nevada named Reed.

It's going to take decades for the Democratic supporters on Capitol Hill to stop repeating, "It's going to take a decade to produce any oil, blah, blah, blah...." But, let’s consider the bright side. If we could just harness all that wind energy, maybe then Madam Pelosi’s Flagship could get out of the Doldrums. Maybe in the meantime, she could get a tune-up and check the tire inflation, on her, Flagship. Do that for the next 6 months.

Honestly though, drilling is McCain's (sorry didn't know if I wasn't supposed to mention him, no one else does) ONLY plan. All Obama said was he would consider anything that would have the net effect of improving the lives of Americans. I want to see one article where someone with an appropriate advanced degree says that drilling WILL lower gas prices. I guarantee no one else has read one because they do not exist. Stop picking apart Obama's very reasonable (multifaceted) stance and start looking at McCain's, eggs in one basket, policy. A policy that is considered ineffective by all those informed enough to know, and backed by the uninformed only because it sounds good. Which side of that are you on?
