| TheRealMafoo said: This I agree with. I think we should be drilling for oil, so I like the move. What concerns me, is Obama has been against drilling. What changed his mind? If I had to guess, it has more to do with what's going on (and what will be going on) in the middle east. It might be a sign that due to future events, he knows our supply will diminish. Anyone else think this is connected to future foreign policy move? http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/03/31/obama.energy/index.html?hpt=T1

ST. PETERSBURG — U.S. Sen. Barack Obama said today he would be willing to open Florida's coast for more oil drilling if it meant winning approval for broad energy changes.
"My interest is in making sure we've got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices," Obama said in an interview with The Palm Beach Post.
"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 don't think he changed his mind from 2 years ago.
