New McCain Ad: Obama To Blame For High Gas Prices



John McCain is out with a new campaign ad (his second attack spot in less than a week) with a message that is hardly discreet: Barack Obama is to blame for skyrocketing gas prices.

The spot, entitled "Pump," will air on national cable and in key states according to the campaign. And it is a doozy. Opening with a picture of a solitary pump -- for some reason positioned in the middle of a river -- a narrator chimes in:

"Gas prices -- $4, $5, no end in sight, because some in Washington are still saying no to drilling in America. No to independence from foreign oil. Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?"

In the background comes an ever increasing chant of "Obama, Obama," followed by a picture of the Illinois Democrat.

"One man knows we must now drill more in America and rescue our family budgets. Don't hope for more energy, vote for it. McCain."


(view clip at the link, it really is as funny as it sounds)

The megabucks of oil from HERE that we sell ELSEWHERE. There are still many people who do not know that we drill here and sell a drop to other countries.

I don't recall the exact figure, but there was something about it here not too long ago. The figure never made it to the mainstream media, of course.

I think your ad idea is an excellent one.

Plus where else do they need to drill? As Biden said weeks ago on Meet the Press, they already have access to 80% of the estimated reserves but they are only utilizing about a quarter of that space.
