Power hungry.

Hey all, I hope that everyone is doing well. The political race continues to get nasty. I just want to highlight the top events since my last blog.
Senator Obama has changed his stance on drilling off shore. He now supports most of it since is the popular band wagon to jump on. I believe this proves further how he exploits political efficiency rather than his own ideas. His party demonstrated how power hungry they are when they turned the power off the house to avoid legislation on off shore drilling. The Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi when questioned about the reasoning behind the sudden departure hinted that they needed time to save the planet. As reported in an article in the Politico written by David Rogers, Pelosi explained her decision to frantically leave the House floor by saying “I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” She went on to say” I will not have this debate trivialized by their
excuse for their failed policy.” If Al gore saves our ozone and Pelosi preserves mankind’s existence: we'll be just jolly dandy. How about the speaker helps establish agenda items that will benefit us, and barack maintains a campaign how he really feels about issue based on his own heart not what best serves his popularity.
John McCain has demonstrated that when he wants to he can appeal to the core beliefs of the American people. I don't expect him to be perfect since no one is, but he needs to be consistent. I thought it was funny for him to joke about Cindy McCain participating in the contest part of the bike rally in WI. He needs to continue supporting ideas that will support our way of life, and he doesn’t need to explore his Gang of 14 any longer.
The last item I’ll address is oil prices. The price of oil has dropped to about $116 a barrel. It’s great to see a decrease in cost, but Americans can’t relax about insisting on drilling at home. Prices may seem to get better now, but if we don’t drill now $4 a gallon will seem cheap. Drilling at home has obviously encouraged other countries to increase supply, and it will make us a safer more prosperous country as well.
It’s amazing how much has occurred in the last few weeks. Some individuals have demonstrated their lack to change their stances even if it means an economic downfall of our country. I guess position and power means more to some than maintaining liberty alive. James.
