Norman Goldman is quoting Democratic Underground with the

[gateley]

info that Obama has okay'd drilling permits since the oil accident.

1. What kind of a source is 'DU' for such?

There was, presumably, SOMETHING behind DU's post, right?

[gateley]

2. Yeah, but there was some disagreement - a lot! - about this. Some

people showed the 'proof' that Obama had okay'd the permits, and those who were interpreting it differently had 'proof' as well. So I really don't know what the story is on it, just waiting to see if it gets addressed in a WH press conference or something for clarification.

That's why I posted this - I was actually a little concerned because it's not as though we're right ALL the time :7

He said "other sites as well but I like Democratic Underground".
