DRILL BABY DRILL! It sounds so much better when we say it.

[Political Heretic]

Little did I know that the magic "D" could suddenly transform policy that was previously fucking ridiculous when championed by the evil "R" into joygasms of awesome when championed by the heroic "D."

Amazing!

[spanone]

1. and it won't buy him one fucking vote.

[roguevalley]

19. I feel like I'm in a video getting peed on. So much for the left.

[Political Heretic]

23. Link pls!

:D

[Go2Peace]

21. Not, but it could harness a ton of that new corporate cash if he keeps it up

seriously, there is a pattern, he is showing himself to be a friend of corporate interests while throwing a bone here or there to the other side of the dial.

[bvar22]

35. But it WILL buy him lots of $MONEY$ from the giant Oil Corporations.

...same as the HCR bought him lots of $MONEY$ from the Health Insurance and Pharm Industries.

At some point, one must ask the question, "Who are these people really working for?

[donco6]

2. Hey, it worked for NCLB - they're just pushing the envelope a bit further.

Let's see how she flies . . .

[RainDog]

3. Obama looks like a pander bear

oh please, right wing, like me! like me! I'll do the fucked up things you want if you'll only like me!

[DJ13]

7. Tickle my belly GOP, you know you want to!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

26. He poops RAINBOWS!

:loveya:

[mitchtv]

4. sure it does

[LakeSamish706]

5. Sorry but it sucks no mater which party suggests it! n/t

[Lint Head]

6. Here we go again trying to be bi-partisan.

It's not chess or checkers. It's a waste of time because climate change will not wait on bi-partisanship.

[TheLiberalNovelist]

8. Forget bipartisanship.

John McCain has clearly stated they will not work with the Democrats, so I say frak 'em. And their teabagger friends too. The Republicans are killing themselves. Just wait until 2012...they'll get what's coming to them...again.

[niceypoo]

11. Yet the GOP is handed another freebie

[TheLiberalNovelist]

17. I think it will be last one.

It's pretty clear the President is losing his patience with the GOP.

It could and SHOULD be the last one, but there's no telling.

[Political Heretic]

22. You're kidding right?

Let's see...

Economy,

War,

Health Care,

Energy,

Education,

What else is there to give away?

Oh yeah social security.... BUT HE'S WORKING ON THAT TOO. :eyes:

[TheLiberalNovelist]

28. Point taken.

[dgibby]

24. More like tiddlywinks with manhole covers,

and just as destructive.

[Moochy]

9. Neo makes everything NEW!

[laughingliberal]

10. Real disappointment. nt

[Jamastiene]

12. Ain't that some shit?

Here, all this time, I thought we stood for something. Guess I was wrong.

[Go2Peace]

13. Wonder what happened with all the people saying it was a lie yesterday

and defending it. Now that they know the truth do you think they will admit that they did not like the idea?

[sabrina 1]

18. They've moved on to claiming that this is a smart move by

Obama, to call Republicans' bluff. He's just kidding, they are saying, he's trying to get them to oppose it by proposing it. I'm not sure where we are going from here if this is the case, but I'm not going to worry about it as we are not smart enough to understand. Just have faith. It will all work the way we were promised.

It's chess. Which dimension, I've lost count of.

[cherokeeprogressive]

32. It's "Jedi Master Level" chess. n/t

[Oregone]

14. Not as pretty as "Bomb, baby, bomb" sounds

[bigwillq]

15. Don't you know the Big O can multi-task??

He can both bomb and drill.

[Oregone]

16. and privatize and mandate

He is FDRalicious

[Bluebear]

20. kick

[amborin]

25. another massive betrayal

"It's hard to name the most distressing part of Obama's decision to open up off-shore drilling for gas and oil along the Atlantic coast.

Is it his willingness to bargain away the environment to placate oil companies opposed to the climate change bill?

Is it his betrayal of an oft-stated campaign stance?

Or is it his diminishing the real issue, backed by real science, by equating corporate interests with environmentalists, conjuring up two petty politicos fighting "the same old battles"? "

commondreams.org

[texastoast]

27. K&R n/t

[Political Heretic]

29. Apparently, its ok to Drill because Obama also announced better fuel standards.

I swear sometimes I feel like the collective IQ of this place as fallen to the level of retardation.

[joeybee12]

30. And bad science and economics become "intelligent and thoughtful" too...n/t

[Odin2005]

31. We are being overrun by a personality cult.

The Obama fanboys will cheer him on no matter WHAT he does. The Corporatists are laughing all the way to the bank.

[deaniac21]

33. A large portion of people just cheer for their team. As Tony

Soprano would say, "Whataya gonna do?"

[Lyric]

34. Apparently you didn't watch Sesame Street!

:rofl:

[Texasgal]

36. I don't think I know ONE person

That supports this action.

I just realize that it ain't gonna be perfect.... ever.
