Obama does not have good rhetorical skills; he’s fine at that “reason” and “logic” stuff, but he is lacking in good old fashioned emo-button pushing.
He should study the rhetoric from other times and issues.

The “classics”, as it were.

As for how I, personally feel about off-shore drilling, all I can say is….

Off-shore drilling should be legal, safe and rare.

But please consider these also;

Off shore drilling rigs; would you want your sister to live next to one?
Oil consumption and America…Separate, but Equal!
Oil is not healthy for children and other living things.
Internal Combustion; Love it or leave it!
Black, (gooey, smelly, fish killing) Power!
song; “Where have all the Flowers Scampi gone?
You can have have my coal furnace when you rip it from my cold, unheated house!
Off the rigs!
