I remember during the 2008 campaign he was against drilling until he came down to Houston for private campaign "events" in July. These were held at ritzy homes in River Oaks and Memorial (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/politics/5916298.html)

Soon after, in August, the press questioned his new-found offshore drilling stance (http://articles.cnn.com/2008-08-02/politics/campaign.wrap_1_offshore-oil-drilling-obama-gas-prices?_s=PM:POLITICS)

He's nothing if not consistent in his hypocrisy.
