Subject: RE: BS: McCain Right, Obama Wrong on this one
I'm with lox... grow hemp... I gotta little patch up in the mountain that only I kbnow about that oughtta be good and sticky toward the end of September... Yezzir...
But lets get real here folks... What we have is the beginning of the beginning of not only the very real possibility of having a president who isn't locked into any one policy if something else makes sense...
The United States does do one thing very well and that is grow stuff and so farming is very important to our economy... Giving billions of dallars to millionaire agri-business corporations has been the other "third rail" for a long time and, yeah, if you have any chance of being elected you'd better not piss them off so...
...like BillD said, Obama has to walk a tight rope here and he is doing just that...
Now, fast forward to an Obama administration and I think that the tunes will changes... They have to... And Obamas views will cahnge as new information and technology rears it head... That's why I like Obama... We have had 7 long years of dagmatism for the sake of dogmatism and stubbornness for the sake or stubborness and look where it has gotten US???
In the words of the latem great Waylon Jennings, "We need a change" and regardless of Obama's views on ethenol today I am less concerned about him being flexible enough to make changes as needed than my concerns are for McCain's abilities to do so...
