C’mon, our policy of “Fuck it, Jeb. Call the Saudis and buy more, the Hummer’s bone dry.” has worked so well for so long I don’t see why the American public would ever get the idea that more drilling wouldn’t benefit them at all.

Being non-specific abroad has similar benefits to being non-specific at home.
You can’t be attacked for what you don’t say, although McCain will attack him for sneezing (Breaking: Obama sickly!”).
Richard Wolf made the point after the speech that McCain would have delivered the same speech, although artlessly and to a much smaller throng.

The guy is a great speaker- but he says nothing but platitudes. Sometimes I think I’m watching a smart version of Bush.

I’ve had a long-standing problem with that too. The guy is something of a genius at conveying a sentiment without promising anything and/or claiming anything. He’s like smoke. There’s almost nothing to attack, but still he can strike and strike hard by conveying sentiment. Perhaps we are watching the Mohammad Ali of American politics.

hey, the funny part is Obi did this on McStain’s *suggestion*.
It was McStain’s whole idea to begin with!
LOL
now he can’t get a foothold on the whole trip and shut him down and the attempts to do so are getting more and more desperate with each passing day. The whole entire response from the McSTAIN campaign is so transparent bordering on sheer panic and it’s so very very obvious that it’s really laughable.
LOVE it seeing the worms squirm like this.
McSTAIN RUES the day he made that challenge, you can be sure.
LOL
