It was just yesterday that I blogged that Senator Barack Obama would lose the 2008 presidential elections to Senator John McCain over the biggest issue of this time: energy. My prediction was that Obama's insistence on toting the party line against offshore drilling puts him on the wrong side of the sensible majority of the American public, who have made it known that they want America to drill for its own oil.
I even emailed the Obama Campaign about this, and I suppose countless other Obama admirers did the same.
Well, guess what? It seems like Obama has already felt the heat and smelled the coffee. He is now modifying his position, saying he is open to offshore drilling, depending on how the plan is structured. Good for this guy, he's not afraid of flip flopping, since changing position on any issue fits right into his template of being the "change candidate".
Because Obama was/is a far left liberal, every flip flop moves him closer to the moderate end of the ideological spectrum. I kind of like that.
You know, something in me told me that Obama would prove to be a real politician by changing his position on this matter, once he was convinced that he was losing the popular support for more drilling.
So after months of singing the anti-drilling song, "We can't drill our way out of this," Barack Obama is about to join a different choir, singing, "We can partly drill our way out of high gas prices."
Instead of being upset with Obama for flipping, I'm actually elated that he's coming around to the American people's side on this all-important issue, while he still has time.
Next, let's watch, listen and see if Mr. Obama actually believes in offshore drilling now and will begin to hammer the point as part of a comprehensive energy solution that will both lower gas prices immediately and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil eventually.
Keep flipping and flopping, Barack Obama, and you might just become President Obama, after all. I'd rather have you do 360s on important issues that you are wrong on than stick to your far-left guns and bite the dust on November 4th.
There are bad flip flops, and there are good flip flops. This was certainly a good one. Is there another on the way, Obama, Sir? I sure hope so...
