Talking about morphing your stance! This guy has obviously watched a lot of tape on Bill Clinton as he was the master of moving towards center after he shored up the nomination.

He will say anything to anyone, if the polls start shifting in a certain direction.
I believe he is the master cameleon, and that is what some people like about him. He can be one person to one part of the country and another person in a different part of the country (Red State Blue State). He can truly bring us together by confusing us with his meaningless rhetoric. He can tell us that their is not a fundamental difference between the values of the Liberals and Conservatives, Socialists and Capitalists, the Secular and the religious. We should all just give up our strong beliefs and just meet in the comforting arms of his far left Utopia. We are just being divisive if we do not pawn over him like the Europeans did, and acknowledge his obvious greatness.
If we do this then the World can love us because we are as Wishy Washy as they are. We will sail into oblivion in a united front with the blessed United Nations, rather then try to stand up for our own beliefs and be hated.
No Thanks.

I think his idea of tapping into the strategic oil reserves is the wrong thing to do. Just like his tax on the big oil companies to give us all $1000. Like the oil companies will not just raise prices to cover that tax. So we would be paying $1000 to get $1000 back. Does not make a lot of sense to me.
I think the more he tries to blow hot air up my back side the more and more I will probably vote republican.
Obama Approves Drilling
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a reversal of a long-standing ban on most offshore drilling, President Obama is allowing oil drilling 50 miles off Virginia's shorelines. At the same time, he is rejecting some new drilling sites that had been planned in Alaska. Ref. USAToday
