Reply #105: I still think if we lean on only this man, we are setting him up for a fail.

A majority of folks wanted to go to the moon,
and although JFK offered up the challenge,
it is Americans that took him up on his offer.

I don't know if things work that way still....

Obama's been talking, but few have been listening:

"Now, let me make one broader point, though, about energy. The fact that oil companies now have to go a mile underwater and then drill another three miles below that in order to hit oil tells us something about the direction of the oil industry. Extraction is more expensive and it is going to be inherently more risky.

And so that's part of the reason you never heard me say, "Drill, baby, drill" -- because we can't drill our way out of the problem. It may be part of the mix as a bridge to a transition to new technologies and new energy sources, but we should be pretty modest in understanding that the easily accessible oil has already been sucked up out of the ground.

And as we are moving forward, the technology gets more complicated, the oil sources are more remote, and that means that there's probably going to end up being more risk. And we as a society are going to have to make some very serious determinations in terms of what risks are we willing to accept."

Too many are too busy blaming him and trying to figure out what to call this..."Obama's Whatever"...
to even bother to hear what he is saying.
