I think the WaPost has it right with this
story. Tying Senator Obama to the Speaker of the House's objections to increased drilling is a two-fer. You get to hammer the Dems on lacking a solid, executable energy solution at the same time you remind the Republican base who President Obama's best friends would be.
It will only be a matter of time before Senator Obama embraces off-shore drilling. He will claim that he never totally opposed off-shore drilling -- instead, he'll support drilling only in those areas where there would not be a clearly defined ecological impact. After commissioning studies and having an open dialogue with our environmental partners. And France.
