But I’m not getting excited about it because we all know this is just to take the issue off the table. We all know that the Democrats won’t allow offshore drilling because Pelosi wants to save the planet and the Dems would never betray the environmental lobby their favorite special interest group:

“If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage – I don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t get something done,” Obama said.

I guess we all know where the country is on offshore drilling. If they were against it, Obama wouldn’t have flip-flopped.
BTW, yeah, we all know that McCain already flip-flopped on off-shore drilling, blah, blah. blah.
