    The obvious answer:

    Why would Obama support "limited" offshore drilling? Probably for the same reason he supported telecom amnesty, the FISA bill, the death penalty for crimes other than homicide, Bush's faith-based charities, and the scaling back of reproductive rights for women.

    It's really quite simple. Obama's a whore.
