David, > The Dems learned in 92 they would win an election by talking down an economy. Unfortunately, they have McCain on the defensive about it now so McCain is afraid to stand up and say, "Hell, it isn't that bad".

McCain can and probably is driving the issue of oil drilling. This is probably one of the chinks in Obama's armor of personality (that and the fact that Obama is starting to stutter almost as much as Bush these days).

Can't have a real strong economy if we're going to tax our way out of a deficit and a recession. Obama has to be forced on the defensive here.

Because they would laugh him off the stage. Not all of us are blinded by ideology. LMAO!

"And Nancy Pelosi is on TV this morning acting like a freaking idiot about drilling."

I've been reading your comments on drilling and wonder if you have an opinion as to the amount of oil left in this country and in the world? Is there an unlimited supply and if not, how much do you think is left??? You sound incredulous about Pelosi's comments this AM but I wonder why you think off shore drilling in CA and FLA would impact "gas prices".. That is a silly position, of course.
