Nuance!

Dan Riehl gets the hat tip for this. Obama in June:

Opening our coastlines to offshore drilling would take at least a decade to produce any oil at all, and the effect on gasoline prices would be negligible at best since America only has 3 percent of the world’s oil

July:

Obama defended his opposition to expanded offshore oil drilling, saying it wouldn’t provide “short-term relief or medium-term relief or, in fact, long-term relief.

And August:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday he would be willing to support limited additional offshore oil drilling

Hope and change!
