Dems' Ostrich Approach On Oil

by Deroy Murdock - August 11th, 2008 - The New York Post

. . . to pinpoint America's offshore oil deposits, congressional Democrats, starting with Sen. Barack Obama, love disco-era maps. Despite his conditional support for limited offshore drilling, Obama is the sole sponsor of legislation that would block geological research to locate offshore oil.

Contemporary 4-D surveying adds the dimension of time. Satellites help find and quantify subsea deposits, track their flows, and predict their next steps. Some 70 percent of 4-D wells hit oil.

Obama's Don't Ask, Don't Drill policy spurns these marvels and embraces outdated information gathered with obsolete instruments. This is the audacity of ignorance.

Is there anyone who wants to challenge the idea that Obama is not seriously committed to drilling for oil? This is typical of his cynical approach to politics. His real supporters are hard core environmental extremists. He is claiming to support drilling while sabotaging the actual process. His supporters note that and laugh at anyone gullible enough to think he has changed his mind.

It is becoming more and more obvious that Barack Obama believes in change . . . that is changing his rhetoric . . . not his true beliefs. His early supporters were Marxists and he is remaining true to their principals.

America needs to wake up to what will happen if this charlatan gets power.
