a lot of people changed their minds about offshore oil because of the spill in the gulf. sarah palin, not really. governor palin writes i wry pete the slogan drill now, drill here, drill not, not out of naivety or disregard for the tragic consequences of the oil spills my family and my state know firsthand those consequences. increased domestic oil production will make us a more secure, prosperous and peaceful nation. she s not backing down. i do work in the energy sector, you should know, i do work on natural gas ooh issues and i m from south texas. i ve grown up in the gulf coast with drilling going on. we need to find out what happened. but it doesn t take those kinds of fuels off the table. we have al ten tevs. the questions being asked of oil and other fuels like natural gas, renewables should be on the table. one shouldn t stop the discussion about the other. if you re living on the coast of florida, mississippi, louisiana, you re thinking something different right now,
build down our nuclear stockpiles, because we understood that this would ultimately make the world safer. and i give president obama a lot of credit for setting out an objective which he said he probably wouldn t see in his lifetime and i certainly won t see in mine, but this is very serious business, and as jonathan said, one shouldn t just pop off about this. this should be put forward in a poll say that is fulsome so you know where you re headed and what the stakes are. jonathan, in a normal presidency, should the president say something in the among that has worldwide import and the capacity to be misunderstood that presidency would have clarified it fairly quickly, within a matter of hours. but certainly, with kellyanne conway scheduled to do a major interview tonight with rachel maddow, they had to know, and kellyanne conway had to know that rachel maddow is our resident expert on this subject.
