Such enthusiasm
The Democratic presidential candidate moves toward supporting offshore drilling, no doubt because his party’s position on the issue has hurt him in the polls. Note the evident lack of enthusiasm in Senator Obama’s revised position. AP:
“My interest is in making sure we’ve got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices…If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage — I don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t get something done.”
Question: Does this mean the messiah has lost his power and this was not “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”
