Sorry. Yes it is.

Another big loss for America.

There is no need for a new FISA bill.  And it isn't even on the political radar in terms of this year's election. It's all about the DLC and GOP providing a cover for violating the rights of Americans.

It follows the whim of the person cherry picking numbers to plug into it.

Insight is wasted on the politically blind. You just keep on dreaming up excuses to gratuitously attack the Democratic nominee.

There is no such thing as "the voters" as a monolithic block. McDesperate is pandering to his base by pandering to the oil companies. The suggestion that Obama should flip his position, abandon his base, and pander to McDesperate's base and the oil compaies is laughably ludicrous from a political standpoint.

It's also the exact same kind of "immitate the GOP" thinking that caused the Democratic Party to be perceived as weaklings for 15 years. And THAT's where the votes of Independents are lost.

Obama is handling this latest pathetic attempt by McDesperate to buy the support of oil companies and hold on to his own shrinking base as he should -- with what amounts to mocking contempt.

I refer you to my sig.

He will soon be be the less "immensely popular Gov of Florida," when the tourist industry gets through with him. He's obviously either already McBush's VP or angling for it.

"Obama needs to adopt and explain that he his for comprehensive energy policy reform"

He has and will continue to.

One thing he mustn't do is jump on McSame's bandwagon as some are suggesting.

Pandering to bad policy in the wake of Bush/McCain is all about losing. OK?

Not only is it bad energy policy. And not only is it bad politics to thrown the Democratic base overboard. It's the exact kind of craven pandering to Republicanism that DLCDems drove the Democratic Party into the ditch with.

Crash the gates? No. Man the ramparts!

I'd think he wants Obama to lose so Hillary can get a redo.

I don't see the principle that guides Democrats to be unequivocally against offshore drilling for oil at this point.

That's probably because you've been blind in at least one eye for some time. For Democrats to flip on offshore drilling and betray their own base would be the height of political folly as well as a craven LACK of principle.

This is another diary where you've essentially backed McBush. And now you've added the oil companies to your list of new friends.

BTW, pandering about oil really helped Hillary, didn't it? When you're always demonstrably wrong, it's time change the way you think.
