Tornoe's Toons: Obama follows the beat of a different drum

Barack Obama has shifted his energy strategy after the McCain campaign pounced on comments Obama made about properly inflating our tires

Obama called for tapping the nation's strategic oil reserves to help drive down gasoline prices. He also suggested that he'd support limited additional offshore oil drilling after attempting to make the case of the minimal impact it would have on current gas prices.

Have we reached yet another unlikely meeting of the minds, or is it just another case of political pandering?

Barack Obama in..."Drumline"


One would think that it would come as no surprise to anyone with a functioning cerebellum (nor to frequent readers of this site) that nary a politician has walked the earth who was not willing to compromise his (or her) principles for the sake of electoral expediency. America's golden boy du jour, Barack Obama, is no exception.

That we, as a society, are reduced to drawing attention to the obvious, consistent, and expected flip-flopping and pandering of politicians, rather than addressing any potential change in the underlying (and unchallenged) power structure in this country--multi-national corporations, oil conglomerates, and the military that protects their interests--speaks volumes.

 

On voit, alors, on s'engage!
