"Obama has opposed exposing more coastline to drilling, saying that oil companies have not fully explored the areas open to drilling now and insisting that it would have little immediate impact on prices at the pump." But, no longer: "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama said today he would be willing to open Florida's coast for more oil drilling if it meant winning approval for broad energy changes." Obama would consider off-shore drilling as part of comprehensive energy plan
Is there anything this man believes that he will not throw under the bus to accomplish his vain ambitions?

OF course, difference being voting against it during Bush's campaign makes Bush look like the bad guy.
NOW he doesn't want to look the bad guy when he gets in. When he gets in and more drilling is allowed and gas prices get lowered wella WHO looks good!
