Giving the Credit
by Matthew Caston

After blaming Barack Obama for the high gas prices in his ad entitled “Pump,” Senator John McCain now says the recent drop in oil prices is on behalf of the almighty, infallible George Bush.
Today President Bush finally prevailed in lifting the ban on offshore drilling just in time for the end of his term. Of course McCain managed to insert a little criticism of Obama’s opposition to drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf.
The lift on the ban and the $10 drop in oil prices comes as no coincidence to McCain. He knows that George Bush is the sole cause of it, despite what Presidential spokeswoman Dana Perino says. Perino says that the price drop could reflect a drop in demand. She also says that she and her colleagues in the White House may not “fully deserve the credit.” But McCain knows how to give credit where credit is due.
