Finally, I do believe that we can question one's motives. Clearly you are criticizing Obama's motives for making a policy choice that you agree with. I see that as partisan and point out the inconsistency of the position. As far as issues of racism, I have stated and believe that the level of hatred expressed against Obama is related to his race. If I have attributed policy differences to race, I did not intend to and apologize. Insults toward him that he is an idiot, he is stupid, he's only looking out for his relatives in mud shacks - those I attribute to race. (I know that I referred to Bush as an idiot, but he supplied significant evidence to support that assertion. I don't think one can make a legitimate assertion that Obama lacks intelligence.)
I continue to believe that folks can disagree agreeably, and that we can learn from each other.

I assume you're addressing me.
But that's the way I am, it's all about me!!!
No doubt I'm partisan, but I try to be fair. The point I wish to make is not that I'm criticizing Obama's new drilling policy because I don't wish for him to succeed.
I'm criticizing it because, from what I understand, he has only opened exploration to a few areas, and, once again from what I understand, not the most productive areas. This is exploration, not drilling. He is still blocking drilling in areas which would be productive.
My complaint is that he has not opened more drilling, but is instead running a ruse to make it appear that he has.
I'll admit, I'm running on soundbites, and I'm really not sure as to what he has really done. I could be wrong, it certainly wouldn't be the first time.
If it turns out that I'm wrong, I'll be more than happy to apologize. And I have a suspicious nature...but I've paid my dues for that.
I'll keep it simple. I THINK that Obama has not really done anything which will increase domestic oil production in the foreseeable future, but continues to do things which will decrease domestic oil production in the foreseeable future.
In other words, he's trying to sell us a cat for a possum.
You may think that I'm being inconsistent, but I think I'm being sold a bill of goods.
We'll see how it all plays out. As I said, I could be wrong.
Also, I'm not up to debating racism and the stupidity of our fearless leaders tonite.
