Laying the Blame

If youre looking for someone to blame for the high gas prices, look no further. Apparently its been Barack Obama’s fault the whole time… no, seriously.
According to a new ad released today by Republican Presidential Nominee, John McCain, entitled Pump,ӓ it is because of Obamas opposition to drilling in the US and off its coast that we pay $4 or more for gas. Even though Barack Obama only started campaigning for the presidency in February of 2007, he is still the sole purpose of high gas prices today.
We have all heard many explanations for the high prices of gas: the US’s bad relations with OPEC, the war in Iraq, US oil companies exploiting the people, Bush. But thanks to Senator McCain all those rumors are put to rest and now we know the real reason why gas is so high. Thank you John McCain. To view Senator McCains ad and other fear-mongering and republican propaganda, go to the John McCain homepage (http://www.johnmccain.com/). The ad also can be seen on youtube or on your local television sets.
