Barack Obama has been panic-peddling the economy for months. And just four weeks ago, Obama said there "is little doubt" that we are in a recession.But I haven't heard about use the "r" word lately--perhaps I missed it.
Although I have my theory on the apparent word deletion. The Cult of Change leader's poll-meisters have told him to back off--that Americans are fed up with high energy prices--and Obama has no workable plan to deal with the problem.
John McCain does.
And yes, gasoline prices have gone down a bit in the last couple weeks--which is good news. However, gas is still almost a dollar more than it was last summer.
Drill here, drill now, pay less.

Drill in sensitive natural areas, Drill in 8 years, Pay a few pennies less in about a decade (maybe)...
Or, to put it chronologically for those who seem to be logic-impaired (h/t BiPM):

We ought not to be simply reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
We ought to be reducing our dependence on all oil.
I don't agree with your BiPM's ridiculous timetable, but even if that site is correct, I plan to be alive in 22 years.
Start drilling.
What kind of (cough) air will (cough, cough) you be trying to (cough, sniffle, cough, cough) breathe while (cough) you run your (cough, cough) marathons?
And why do you so adamantly promote continuing to invest resources in an industry which will have a definitive end-date since the resource upon which it is built is finite (as you yourself admit)?
What is it that conservatives say about throwing money at a problem...?

What do you hope to accomplish by wrestling with a pig?
You both get dirty,
You both end up smelling like a pig,
And the pig enjoys the tussle!
Grey,
First you were asking about my underwear and now you're calling me a pig.
No wonder so many Americans are dropping their Republican registrations and filing as indies or Dems.
If all you've got left is sandbox name-calling then you've got nothing -- which was my point exactly in continuing to point out the utter hollowness of the Republicans' drillheredrillnow empty energy plan.
To pick up your analogy: If we've been drilling for oil for over a century and we're now continuing to run into energy and pollution crises because of it, why would any astute political party concentrate so blindly on doing more of the same?
