Today in a Florida speech that would surely make Dr. Joseph Goebbels blush, the esteemed in-experienced, weak-minded smoker, and collectivist-leaning Senator from Illinois decried proposals to open the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to oil exploration.

According to Senator Obama, the savings would be minuscule and would be non-existant for over 20 years. This pronouncement alone should automatically disqualify Obama for the role of chief executive. Either teh presumptive Democratic nominee is knowingly distorting the facts, is ignorant or is seeking to ensure our continued dependence upon a band of oil rich tyrants from Venezuela to Saudi Arabia, whatever the motivation, if it were anyone other political leader would we not argue that that individual has no business leading the United States of America.

America can ill afford such misguided and foolish leadership mentality. With each passing day, Barack Obama further demonstrates why he should never occupy the White House, or any other leadership position in government.

Every American desrvesto know the answer to this question: Mr. Obama, what is your motivation for endorsing an energy policy that enshrines American subservience to Middle Eastern dictaors? Why do you cling to a policy of ignorance and champion that policy to your equally ignorant followers?
