"We have to drill offshore. we have to do this. Oil executives say in a couple years we could be seeing results from it. So why not do it? We need to do it."
John McCain
"John McCain's support of the moratorium on offshore drilling during his first presidential campaign was certainly laudable, but his decision to completely change his position and tell a group of Houston oil executives exactly what they wanted to hear today was the same Washington politics that has prevented us from achieving energy independence for decades.
"Much like his gas tax gimmick that would leave consumers with pennies in savings, opening our coastlines to offshore drilling would take at least a decade to produce any oil at all, and the effect on gasoline prices would be negligible at best since America only has 3% of the world's oil. It's another example of short-term political posturing from Washington, not the long-term leadership we need to solve our dependence on oil.
Instead of giving oil executives another way to boost their record profits, I believe we should put in place a windfall profits tax that will help to ease the burden of higher energy costs on working families, and we should invest in the affordable, renewable sources of energy that Senator McCain has opposed in the past."
Barack Obama

Country Blues - Old Time Banjo and Vocal
Country Blues played and sang by Jim Pankey (aka Wild Jimbo - That's JIMBO, not BIMBO). 5-String banjo played in his amazing clawhammer style! Now, as silly as it might seem, this video has nothing to do with babes, girls, violence, or swimsuits. It's also not very funny. However, you might find yourself of your friends dancing to it. Thanks for looking and remember: Sex, Drugs and Flatt & Scruggs! Banjo, Banjo, Banjo! |
