Obama Bait and Switch Drilling for CAP AND TAX

I honestly am still amazed every single time the right falls for the old liberal two-step, but that is exactly what has happened to Ilya Shapiro over at the CATO institute.  Shapiro article states that we need to give Obama his due on his energy policy as it pertains to the issue of off-shore drilling.  The problem Shapiro is you completely missed the point in your article OBAMA has not changed course he has changed tact and now is fooling those dumb enough to think he has changed course.   The liberal two-step goes something like this dangle a conservative idea or two in front of a liberal/moderate Republican and presto you have bi-partisanship.  The RINOS (republicans in name only) like Olympia Snowe and John McCain love it when they can use the one conservative idea in a worthless piece of liberal legislation to claim they were working together for a better America.  I am afraid Obama's recent decision to allow increased drilling is just such a proposition in other words a trojan horse to trick liberal Republicans into jumping into the seas of Big Government and voting yes on Cap and Trade.  At first glance I was shocked Obama is calling for increased drilling this makes about as much sense and a gunshot wound to the head to relieve a migraine.  I thought he will lose the ultra-liberal greens and his left base will be inflamed with rage.  Then it occured to me the left is more idealistic and deceptive than the right the left knows that it can use the deception of conservative ideas to win Republican votes and then turn hard left and gut all relevant conservative language from the Cap and Trade bill.  Obama's objective is two-fold to get RINOs to vote for Cap and Tax so it does not become another partisan debacle like Health Care and to convince the public he is centrist to avoid losing the Presidency in 2012.  If you believe that Obama will allow drilling for one-minute after January 11, 2012 you are high on hope and change.  The fix is in all of this so called new drilling will only occur after years of study by the U.S. government to evaluate and determine viability and economic/evironmental impact once Obama is out of the woods electorally the government reports will state drilling is unviable and the whole promise collapses.  Obama cannot and will not alienate his left wing supporters the lunatic fringe left is important to the Democrats just like the lunatic fringe right is important to the Republicans.  Obama will pull a Stupak at the 23rd hour on this drilling business.  If you are unaware of what pulling a Stupak means it means lying and making impossible promises and then hoping everyone in the room aka the American public is too damn stupid to figure it out.  For example an executive order forbidding federal funds from being used to fund abortions does not override the provision in the health care reform bill allocating federal funds for abortion.  Translation Obama cannot by executive fiat change legislation and now abortions are paid for by tax dollars.  Abortion here is not relevant it is merely a way of demonstrating that what Obama says is not what he actually does at the end of the day.  He speaks the truth to his cronies but not to the American public.
