Ah, yes, that will help, won't it!

Let them say so now, then. Candidates have a tendancy to promise the moon
and tell you later that what they meant was a 'moon pie'. They promise a
lot,
and deliver not a fraction of it. Obama isn't promising any laternatives
that
would make any difference at all. Solar? Wind? Drill in ANWR? A drop in
and endless sea.

Let him be loquax about smaller homes, no cars, fans instead of air
conditioners, sweaters instead of heat pumps, shoe leather instead of parking
spaces,
trains, trolleys, and horses. THEN we might see him advocate a small
fraction
of that as prez. But he is saying nothing of the sort.

Then that power will become, :"full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
