Not only did Obama push for drawing from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, he also reiterated his changing position on offshore drilling — first revealed last Friday — suggesting that he could live with it if done in an environmentally sound way and as part of a bipartisan energy compromise He just wants the selfish government to sell off its reserve oil at a high price, then buy it back when prices are low, he will distribute the extra money to all of the Democrat leaders. Or buy off votes from the ignorant masses.

Obama's new proposal, though, includes two significant reversals of positions he has taken in the past: He had steadfastly fought the idea of limited new offshore drilling and was against tapping the nation's emergency oil stockpile to relieve pump prices that have stubbornly hovered around $4 a gallon. Two-for-one. He's really picking up the flip-flop pace, isn't he? Any person who calls for withdrawing from SPRO is trying to buy votes. Whether it is Obama, Pelosi, McCain, or whatever. It is absolute pandering.
