Confused Americans for Truth - Obama Opposes New Policy, Claims Change Would be The Same

by Ferdinand T Cat

Admit it. You've all known this headline was coming. Here's the story: it's about offshore oil drilling.

Obama says that the answer to high oil prices is to reduce consumption. This has been the goal of every U.S. President since Richard Nixon. Obama also says we need to find alternatives to fossil fuels. This part of his policy is identical to the one proposed in 2006 by a man named George W. Bush.

What drives conservatives crazy about Barack Obama is that on domestic policy, he represents the same free-spending ideology that has driven this country since Bush took over in 2001. For example, on Father's Day Obama delivered a speech about the need for fathers to take responsibility for children, and while most pundits gushed about the enormity of this astounding idea, the actual policy solutions inside the speech contained a slew of new government programs. The answer is always spending.

Obama is correct that if we drill now, it won't immediately bring prices down, but research on alternative fuels is going to take even longer, since we're looking for a technology that doesn't yet exist. While waiting for this miracle alternative fuel to appear, maybe we can use the oil we have right now to limit the pain. This limited pain will provide the economic growth we desperately need so we can fund Barack's program to pay black men to live with the mothers of their children. I'm a superior life form, so I have to think of these things.

Anyway, the good news here is that John McCain has learned that he can distance himself from both George W. Bush and Barack Obama at the same time by moving to the right on domestic policy issues. This means that by the time November arrives, we could actually have a presidential candidate worth supporting. It's huge.

And unlike anything Barack Obama has ever thought in his entire life, it would be a real change.

Respectfully submitted,

let me see if I've got this right. In the '60's we started paying women to have babies, but only if their 'baby daddies' moved out. Now we have to pay these same men to move back in?

I sure hope McCain can straighten up and fly right.

Yes. You have it correct. And in fact, "fly right" is exactly the proper direction for McCain.
