Barack "Ill Say Anything To Get Elected" Obama... on Drilling

From the Huffing and Puffing Huffington Post:

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday he would be willing to support limited additional offshore oil drilling if that's what it takes to enact a comprehensive policy to foster fuel-efficient autos and develop alternate energy sources.

Republican rival John McCain, who earlier dropped his opposition to offshore drilling, has been criticizing Obama on the stump and in broadcast ads for clinging to his opposition as gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon. Polls indicate these attacks have helped McCain gain ground on Obama.

But a Daily Kos commenter has it figured out:

Please give Obama the benefit of the doubt. Off Shore oil drilling is polling at over 70%. We have a much better chance of it not happening if Obama wins.

How true.
