It looks like the junior Illinois Senator's inexperience and focus on himself is finally catching up with him.
Amidst the general clamor of the American voting public for Congress to do something about the country's energy policy and, if possible, oil prices, Obama finally swung around to vaguely stating that he might be for some drilling off the US continental shelf.
Fox News has been playing clips of Obama steadfastly declaring earlier this year, in just the past few months, that no new drilling for oil in America was necessary. That this would be the wrong solution, and, in his opinion, no solution at all.
Suddenly, as McCain has drawn even with and, by some polls, ahead of the Black Adder, Obama is sensitive to most Americans' opinion that we should drill for oil everywhere we can in this country. Including our deeper-water areas off the coasts.
As is typical of Obama, he abandons his so-called principles as soon as it looks like he's lost touch with the polls.
Maybe he should be considering the master of that game, Slick Willie, as a possible running mate?
