It is a great speech, the kind of speech you expect from a Democrat, clear, concise, and obviously he understood the reasons why the ban had remained in place for 29 years. Too bad he evolved to the Republican position, although even Bush Sr. kept the ban in place.
And as we saw, the Republican position, McCain's position, was demonstrated to a tragic disaster, proving once again, that Liberal ideas are superior, based on what is good for people.
11 men died that summer, already forgotten, the supposed benefits of lifting the ban are nowhere in sight, nor will they be. The Gulf is environmentally destroyed for years to come, maybe forever. But the oil guys got what they wanted finally, after 30 years of fighting them off. But it is the voters who are stupid according to you.
Oh, and fyi, when you change your position from being right to being wrong, that is not called 'evolving'.
