Obama on ANWR

Well, ANWR, that is the bill to allow drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, passed the senate yesterday.

Three Democratic senators crossed the line and voted for to support drilling there. Both of Hawaii's senators as well as Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. Senator Barack Obama, D-IL, just this past Monday, as I blogged here on that same date, said this:

"And if you turn on the news, you can see that our dependence on foreign oil is keeping us tied to one of the most dangerous and unstable places in the world.''

Obama voted against the ANWR bill, which will help us lessen our dependence on foreign oil.

So much for "vision" from a "New Democrat"
