Do you realize that over the last two weeks, a barrel of crude oil has fallen about $20, from a bit over $140 to a bit over $120. And what else happened two weeks ago? Bush ended the Federal moratorium on offshore drilling. So the next time someone tells you offshore drilling will take 10 years to make a difference, make it very clear to them what I just told you. And ask them how $20 in two weeks is the same as 10 years.

I'm all for oil drilling, but correlation != causation. Even the White House said that their lifting of the moratorium probably had little to no effect on prices.

Oh and Obama finally said that he would accept offshore oil drilling as part of a comprehensive energy solution. Hooray!

I've never seen != before. It looks like someone is putting special emphasis on the fact that two things are equal, but from the context, I guess it means they aren't equal.

If Obama keeps changing his positions, he'll look almost exactly like Lieberman. Which wouldn't be bad. Except how do you know he won't change back to his far left stances once elected? Changing your thoughts on a few things here and there... That's different than changing practically every stance that got you the nomination.

Can we really trust Obama?
