McCain: Obama Retains Title of Dr. No on Energy

That no drilling stance will kill the democrats.

Steve you really have no idea how polling works do you.

Off-shore drilling wouldn’t change the alleged oil and gas shortages in the short term, but that’s what McCain is touting. The price of gas at the pump has dropped an average of $.11 in the past week nation wide. Why? Because Americans are planning their commutes and trips to maximize their fuel $$. Meanwhile, McCain hasn’t said anything about Big Oil’s Big Profits and “spreading the wealth.” Of course not. Big Oil is one of McCain’s biggest supporters.

Obama is for windmills. How appropriate — power from hot air!

I thought Dr. No was that Ron Paul dude. If Obama is Dr. No on energy then McCain is Mr. No when it comes to making peace and respecting those countries and peoples that may have a different way of doing things.

John McCain had the chance to grab his moment.
Instead of canceling his trip , he could have gone to Louisiana because of the Hurricane and the oil spill.
But in typical Republican fashion, once he heard there would be likely problems he ran the other way and campaigned in a nice, safe, sausage factory instead.
is McCain who you want in office if you have severe whether problems, (he ate cake with Bush during Katrina), fires or floods?

young_voter
You’ve identified the problem. Obama doesn’t know what he’s for much less the consequences of his policy. He’d be a complete disaster because he’s totally uninformed. Always double-talk and never anything of substance. A real empty suit to be sure!

For those of you not alive yet, let me remind you of the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969.
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-santa_barbara1969_oilspill-pg,0,7401384.photogallery
Look at the whole gallery. This WILL happen again, just so we can drill more wells that will deliver oil to the international market 10 years from now.
(There is nothing in US law that keeps US oil in the USA.) It will likely end up in China or India.

You typical Obama supporters have used this scare tactic in the primaries. Producing oil has spill threats, then, where do you think your gasoline come from. After you stop driving cars, taking buses, flying on airplanes, hand picking grass from your lawn, carrying your groceries by hands on foot without plastic bags, living under the stars since your house is covered with oil products, then, you may have a faint clue what the heck you and Obama are talking about.
Bet you will say, nuclear energy has nuclear wastes. Perhaps, Obama should realize that he is the waste, a waste of yet another democratic party nomination.

“For those of you who think he is an empty suit ,watch this empty suit sworn in as our next president.”
McCain will take that empty suit to the cleaners.

Senator Obama is Dr. NO for off-shore drilling and ANWAR but does promote people eating more brown beans for natural gas promotion. He is so full of it even without the beans. We will still need oil and gas for a very long time regardless of how much energy from wind and biofuels, etc. we come up with.

Javalation
PROFOUND!!

NoBAMA nOMAMA ever
mccain will lead us out of this economic mess and get us off foreign oil. he cares. obama only cares abut himself

All they would have to do was start drilling. It would make such an impression on The oil companies, that the price would drop.
Would be to easy, that is why the Democrats do not want to do it. They want the American people to suffer and live though hard times, so they can blame the republicans, in hope of a win in Nov.
Nothing like causing problems for the people on purpose, than expect they are stupid enough to vote for you. Nancy and The DNC and Obama are dispiciple.

I can’t be the only one who would like a do over of the primaries. Where is Hillary and Mitt when we need them!

thing to do now—-demand that government stop subsidising big oil—demand that higher efficiency autos are produced ( we has cars in the seventies doing better than todays cars—demand that the government subsidises alternate fuels—drive no more than necessary—stay at or under 55mpg—use more coal to heat in winter—windpower is already coming on strong—solar is an option although a little costly to start–nuclear can make a great difference AND WITH TODAYS TEC THERE IS LITTLE TO WORRY ABOUT IT IS VERY SAFE used rods can be used and we have enough to power country for a thousand years (greatest recycle option ever)but first and foremost stop the big business lobby in washington AND RECLAIM OUR COUNTRY—–IT IS UP TO YOU THE PEOPLE WISE UP AND STOP BICKERING.

Look what has happened since GWB reversed the executive order of the ban on offshore drilling people! Gas has been dropping since! If we opened those areas up, and started working them it would go down even more! How you say it will DO NOTHING for the short term?? It would also do alot for OUR FUTURE! Let start working towards USA’s future now, and yes that incudes wind, nuclear etc!! Our FUTURE IS NOT what Obama will bring to this country!

All McBaby needs now is a big bib a pacifier and a rattle. He already has the depends.
waaaaaaaaaaaa senator obama no no no waaaaaaaaa
big dusty baby

Oil prices go up and down on speculation you idiots. If we start drilling offshore both W. & E. Coasts and in ANWAR, price of oil will almost immediately go down. Technology has changed very rapidly for the oil industry that it does not take as long for production as it once did.
Answer this one With advances in technology so rapid, what will keep the Governments of Cuba, China, South America from drilling 100 miles off the coast of California or one of the Eastern States. I saw the oil discovery off the coast of Brazil last fall and they are rapidly getting that going. Mexico or Brazil has the technology to drill 100 miles off our coast now. How about those applies, you anti-drilling people? You do like your gasoline in your vehicles, don’t you?

The deeper McCain latches himself to Big Oil’s pro-drilling campaign, the worse he’s going to look when it comes out in the debates that drilling in ANWR and off the continental shelf will only reduce gas costs by about 2 cents…15 years from now.
By all means, McCain and McManiacs, push, push, push for more drilling. Strap yourself aboard that sinking ship now. Glue yourselves to the mast. Is there really anyone reading this so foolish as to think the moderators won’t mention that as a debate point in front of 80 million Americans?

When is the media going to explain why McCain’s offshore drilling is not going to have any measurable impact on gas prices? Because the US gas goes to the World Oil Market and we buy it back at the current market price.
The rapid increase in demand from China and Middle East countries means we need some worldwide energy sources. Europe is way ahead because the usually have good public transportation and they often drive tiny cars.
The Republicans know the facts. It is all politics to fool the voters, just like the gas tax holiday. When is the media going to ask McCain about submitting a bill to Congress?

john you do not own the oil companies—they own us–it is not anti drilling it is oil freedom–do you heat your home with oil—–think of living on less than 1000 per mont as a lot of retired people do—now burn 200 gal or more a month and what is left—-pretty sad isnt it——i would put more into nuclear—-electric can be used for most anything.

it really does my heart good to see the amount of intelligent people who are on here and no longer are quiet —this is what we need more of—we must retake our country—-i know mccain is nothing more than bought by big oil and business—–obama is very intelligent —–but do not know if he or for that matter anyone can fill the pair of shoes needed

I do not understand why everyone does not see this. It is not about more oil it is about less oil and renewable energy. All of the technology is available. We need to put it in place and quit fighting over to drill or not to drill. Less oil goes hand in hand with the global warming and environmental causes. It is a win win situation. Call Hillary she can explain it to you!

maryintampa
hillary has enough to handle the thing she is married to.–but you sure got the rest perfect

We need no more deciders in the White House. I care not to imagine what the ‘bomb bomb bomb iran’ man would do if he was in office.
Time for science and innovation again.
Enough of the oil men with deep pockets and no brains and the saudis who bush was cowering to a couple of months ago begging for oil.

So I guess McCain would be Dr. Yes and No

The real reason obama and all left wing/socialists dont want to drill for oil is so they can continue to keep the USA in a state of upset and keep us down just enough so they can us it to get re-elected. What they need to do go ahead a drill send all the left wing/socialists to California make them pay $10.00 a gallon for gas and then tell them to kiss our A**

So Rose oil rigs and refineries and there pollution is worse than windmills?
Transferring billions of dollars to countries that support terrorism is a good solution? We do not have enough oil availble to truly make a difference nor would we see and of the offshore drilled oil before approx 2030. That should really help.

bill
kind of strange to blame obama for what the present administration is doing to you.

Protech
They just like to turn on their b/w 20in tv to see rich oil cowboys fly around in lear jets as they sit on their couch on the porch of their double-wide trailers as they drink their miller highlife and eat their spicy pork rinds.
ignorance is bliss.

Look here guys. It seems like McCain might be in the lead:
http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/07/28/poll-position.aspx
For the rest of this compaign, I will, where possible, try to expose our Obama for the politician that he is; a hypocrite that he has always been and a President he will never be.

go ahead young voter. you said one key word
TRY
good luck with that. Your pappy mcsame has been trying too. He ends up looking like an old winer complaining about everything…. will you be the young version of pappy.

“I believe that, when he said that we had to leave Iraq, and we had to be out by last March, and we had to have a date certain, that was in contravention to — and still is — the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General David Petraeus.” McLame said to George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. Why anyone wants another brain dead embarrassment for prez I can’t imagine. John is averaging about 2.5 gafs a week, and they’re getting more common. The press lets him get by without making an issue of it, because they love his barbecue and folksy ways.

It looks like the voters are
seeing Dr No for the Empty Suit
that he is!
National USA Today/Gallup Obama 45, McCain 49 McCain +4.0
Can you say President McCain?

Yea, sure. Keep having oil spills and that will put things back in proper prespective.
Oilman finance McCain’s campaign. REAL stretch that McCain wants to drill!
Posted by: Maverickity | Jul 28, 2008 6:30:37 PM
Maverickity, I live on the Texas Gulf Coast and even when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit, there was not one oil drop spilled in the Gulf. With the new technology being used today, this is a thing of the past. Even with these major hurricanes, oil spills are nilt. So that argument is not valid. McCain is planning to use ALL forms of energy to help America out of this mess. We may not see the results overnight, but we will in the future. We have to start somewhere. When Bill Clinton was in office, even then, economists were seeing this oil crunch in the future and he rejected plans to pursue new forms of energy, had he not, we wouldn’t be in this shape today.
McCain 08!

Jack, I have to agree with you. It seems that America is waking up now and realizing that Obama is all talk and no substance. He should be beating the hell out of McCain but is not. The reason, because America does not want Obama for Prez and its not because of his skin color. He is way too inexperienced and extremely arrogant.
McCain 08!

A duck is a duck if it waddles and quacks and has webbed feet. Obama is truly Dr. No if he follows Nancy and Harry’s command to prevent the off shore drilling discussion from being held in congress immediately. Sorry, folks, but you have no basis for your negative comments. In this case, McCain is correct – whether or you like it or not. The silly arguments are entertaining. I love reading comments by those who follow the party line without any thinking of their own. It is simple. We need to expand our energy sources. So, let’s drill. It will take @ 1 – 19 years to have the wells flowing – depending if you are listening to a Democrat, or a Republican or some one in the oil industry. (They state it will not take that long.)Or we could just do nothing and let the problem get worse. I would call anyone who chose that route a traitor to our country but that is just my logical examination of the issue. Each to his own. Plus we need to learn to conserve our environment. And search for alternative energies. I wonder what will be used to replace fuel used in airplanes? Solar? Who will ask us to rip out our car’s catalytic converters since we know that CO2 is the villain and even though CO can kill you, it won’t cause the green house gas effect that we are being told CO2 causes. Right!

Issues We care About!
The neoconservatives and the Bush administration should be held accountable not only for the cost of the Iraq War but the 492 billion dollar deficit.
- Part of the cost are the 30,000 USA Troops wounded.
-Start laying the groundwork to move the the US away from oil dependency.
As soon as the 2008 election is over The Republicans will start running for the next elections in 2010 and 2012. This is the reason gridlock doesn’t help this country.
The Republicans as a group should “pay a price” for the Gridlock.

you have one of the smartest oil men in the country telling you that you cannot drill your way out of the mess the republican administration has gotten us into —but like sheep you will go the same road as the 70s and you will find yourselves paing even higher prices—-the public is so easy to manipulate for big oil and big business it is unbelievable the repubs will get gas price down before elections and you will jump for joy,but will not remember that you will still be paying twice as much as three years ago–i explained time and again that oil is sold on the world market and you can drill to hell and back and will make no differance—alternate fuels and energy is the only answer—-but make sure big oil does not controll the same

we need to put renewable fuels on the front burner and STOP BEING A COUNTRY OF IDIOTS.also let it be known we had cars in the 70s getting better fuel mileage than today– but when the pressure eased we went back to the guzlers—–manipulated again.—they are already cheering on tv gas prices are coming down—–HA HA HA HA HA

This is a major reason I will vote McCain. Obama is stupid to not do everything possible as fast as possible. Waiting for a windy solution could lead to riots in the streets as the price of energy wrongly skyrockets. Those riots could lead to military rule of America with our freedoms lost and Obama taking absolute powers. Now we all think that not likely but how stupid are we to skirt along the path that makes that possible. How stupid is Obama to not develop drilling and nuclear and clean coal along with wind. NO JUDGEMENT from Obama.
The people know this is a stupid idea by Obama but they want to believe in a Messiah. don’t we all. But it is an illusion. it is a dream. it is not reality. we need all the energy we can get. energy drives our economy. with out energy we go into deep depression and bankruptcy, revolution and military rule.
When the people of a country are in riots then the people demand military rule to restore calm. It is so easy for the rulers to take over a country. Just let it get into riots because gas is 10 or 29 dollars a gallon and everyone is thrown out of their house.

algwriter:
The only barrier to nuclear energy is political. Engineers and scientists have been working to improve it for decades and they have succeeded. There are solutions for every problem, the government just doesn’t want to see them. Nuclear is, at this point, the only viable solution to the energy crisis.

WESTERN UNIVERSALISM And… U N I V E R S A L E N E R G Y
“Color cannot be understood except in relation to the person who perceives it,” physicist Pierre Demers wrote in the Foreword to this book entitled “Bill A Ri And There Was Light ! in http://www.contact-canadahaiti.ca. He clearly confirms the relevance of this essay. First of all, in fact, we thought it would be useful to consider the civilizational (politico-religious) attitude of the West toward the Blacks, before pointing out the deficiencies of present-day science, which is predominantly Western, in its perception of the Black Universe.
The Western political attitude toward the Blacks has for many centuries been determined by the perverse ruler-servant, master-slave, exploiter-exploited relationship. In order to normalize its policy of enslaving Blacks, Judeo-Christian civilization went so far as to use Christianity to legitimize what today we generally call “crimes against humanity”, such as the racist slavery peculiar to the West. That situation was facilitated by the fact that the monotheistic religion, which had originally been universalist, soon limited its horizons to the boundaries of the Western world, while the other peoples — which it thought it had attracted — seemed to find themselves there in spite of themselves. Some might wonder whether the abandonment by the West of Christian universalism does not explain that inability of Judeo-Christian civilization to adopt a universalist attitude, not only in the political but also in the scientific realm.
As a matter of fact, present-day science, dominated for a few centuries by the West, can hardly claim to be “universal”, since it is so deeply affected by the Westerners who perceive it. These people have — as we all know — lost any authentically universalist dimension. Did they not, by using and misusing the Bible, attempt to prove the superiority of Western Whites over Blacks and other colored peoples, limiting there too the vast universalist horizons of science to the very boundaries of the West? Everything seems to indicate that science is no longer universal; it is “Western”, with all the consequences that implies for humanity and, in particular, for the Black world.
In other words, the Western approach, the Western way of thinking, is far from being scientific, neutral and objective; it is subjective and distorting. Such subjectivity and distortion manifest themselves still more obviously, as we have seen, in the realm of colors, and more specifically when dealing with the concept of “black”. One must therefore bring into play the social sciences — history, sociology, psychology, psychoanalysis, political science, etc. — to understand that Western handicap. Indeed, as soon as it has to deal with “black”, Western reasoning vacillates, making room for the irrational and its array of fantasies.
The author of the Foreword to this book, a physicist, under went a conversion in 1974, where by he would from then on wholly devote himself to the study of colors. He says that he has been attracted more and more strongly by the multidisciplinary and deeply human nature of the study of colors. He states that the “rational comprehension of colors cannot have the necessary depth, unless all the sciences are called upon: chemistry, biology, physiology, physics, and mathematics”. He even insists: “Once more the human aspect intervenes. Man is both the creator and the necessary vehicle of all sciences. It is doubly true that there is no rational knowledge of color outside of mankind.” He thus admits, as we do, though in a roundabout way, that the present understanding of colors leaves much to be desired. Is it not strongly influenced by the dominant contemporary civilization, polluted so long by prejudices against peoples of color, especially Blacks?
Such a serious Western handicap obviously hinders the forward march of universal science as well as that of all mankind. Both are victims of a racist — and therefore anti-scientific, selfish and limited — vision of the world.
Although it may still be possible to scientifically correct the erroneous vision of “blackness” fairly quickly, it is much more difficult to improve human behavior from one day to the next, since mentalities evolve rather slowly. In the meantime, we cannot help being aware that the West keeps dragging around its heavy burden of anti-Black prejudice, and that attitude is detrimental to both the Western and Black worlds.
Let us quote the universalist Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, who states that “the visible opens our eyes to the invisible”. Science, just like color, cannot be understood outside of the person who perceives it.
